How to become a Christian

The biblical record of his life shows that Jesus Christ was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, taught throughout Palestine for about three years, was crucified and then rose back to life three days after his death. The Bible claims that more than 500 people saw him alive after this miraculous event. How could a mere man have lived such a life? The miracles Jesus performed, his death on the cross, his resurrection, his ascent to heaven--all point to the fact that he was no ordinary leader.

Hundreds of years before Jesus' birth, prophets predicted his coming. The Old Testament, written by many people over a period of 1,500 years, contains more than 300 such prophecies. All of these details came true, including his miraculous birth, his sinless life, his many miracles, his death and his resurrection.

By his own account, Jesus claimed he had the power to forgive sins, to cast out demons, and to determine people's eternal destiny. He even declared HE himself was God!

He lived a sinless life. (Bible references: 1 Peter 2:22, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 John 3:5)
He is the ONLY way to God. He is the way and the truth and the life. (Bible references: John 14:6
He claimed to have shared the glory of God in Heaven.
He is able to forgive sins.
He is the Heavenly king.
He wants to give you everlasting life.
He died and came back to life.
He will return again to judge the world.
