The Gospel

Many people believe they are Christians because they were born in a religious home, go to church regularly, try to do their best, or live a good life. However, the Bible teaches that these things cannot make you a Christian. You become a Christian by:
 
1. Realizing that you (along with all people) have sinned and fallen short of God's standards (Romans 3:23).
2. Personally believing that Jesus Christ, who was God in human flesh, died for your sins on the cross and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
 
"For it is by grace you have been saved by faith [it is the gift of God] not by works, so that no one can boast."
 
Ephesians 2:8-9
