Becoming a Christian (salvation) involves more than just acknowledging facts; it's about a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. Here's an outline based on biblical principles:
Repentance is not merely changing your mind about who Jesus is but involves a total about-face, turning from sin and self to God (1 Thessalonians 1:9). It's the work of God in your heart, not a human effort.
True faith involves receiving Jesus for all He is—Lord and Savior. This means both confessing Him as the one who saves you from sin and yielding to Him as the Lord of your life (Romans 10:9–10; Acts 2:21, 36).
Faith is not just intellectual assent but includes obedience as a synonym for faith (John 3:36; Acts 6:7; Hebrews 5:9). Jesus calls for a surrender to His demands, which are part of His evangelistic message (Mark 8:34; Luke 14:33; Matthew 19:29).
Becoming a Christian means you are transformed; you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). This change is evidenced by a life moving from disobedience towards righteousness (Ephesians 2:10; Matthew 7:17).
Remember, being a disciple of Christ is not a higher level of Christianity but is synonymous with being a Christian from the outset (Acts 6:1-2, 7; 11:26; 14:20, 22; 15:10).
