What Is Christianity?

While there are several groups that call themselves "Christian," those who follow the true Christian faith have certain core beliefs that have never changed. The Resurrection of Christ is one of them. His Deity is another. Without that, our God would be as dead as those of other religions.

How to Be Saved

To be saved, you must:

1.) Realize that you are a sinner. "ALL have sinned..." and "The wages of sin is death." (Rom. 3:23, 6:23;1 Jn.1:8)

2.) Realize you cannot save yourself. Jesus Christ paid the penalty for your sin (Eph. 2:8,9; John 3:16; Rom. 5:8); there is no other way to heaven except through him. (Acts 16:31; Jn. 14:6)

3.) Repent and ask God to save you. He promises to forgive you. (Rom. 10:8-13; I Jn.1:9)

4.) Receive Christ into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. (Salvation is a gift, but a gift must be received to be yours.) John 1:12

If you did the above, then thank God for saving you and begin your new life in Christ as a child of God. II Cor. 5:17 (The first step after salvation is to tell someone about it. Rom. 10:9-11)
