How easy it is to make becoming a follower of Jesus more complicated than it really is. Here is an excellent summary simply stated on how to become a Christian. If you have stumbled upon this page and the Spirit of God is tugging at your heart, these simple steps will help you. They helped me long ago when I was on the journey to trusting Christ. I hope they will aid you or one of your friends who is considering the claims of Jesus on his or her life! 

1. There is something to Admit. Christians are people who admit that they are weaker, guiltier, and more sinful than they would have ever dared admit. By nature and by choice, we are not in a relationship with God – even though it is for such a relationship that we were created. We admit that at root our lives are self-centered rather than God-centered, and that we are helpless to break this pattern without the power of God.
2. There is something to Believe. Christians are people who believe that God loves us so much that he sent his only Son to earth to become a man, Jesus Christ, and that Jesus died on the cross as our substitute and was raised from the dead to offer us complete forgiveness. Through Christ, we can be more loved, valued, and accepted by God than we would have ever dared imagine.
3. There is something to Consider. Christians are not naive but count the cost of following Jesus. Being a Christian involves acknowledging Jesus’ authority and lordship in every area of life, welcoming his work to change us from the inside out, and rejoicing to spend time with him and with his followers in the life of the church.
4. There is something to Do. Christians are people who have received Christ as Savior and Lord by self-consciously turning from sin, self-centeredness, and self-righteousness (the Bible calls this turning repentance) and trusting in Jesus alone for forgiveness and acceptance by God (the Bible calls this trusting faith).
