   12:9). And within our bodies God has placed a   
   spirit (which is who we really are). And no one   
   with the stain of sin within his or her spirit   
   can enter the Kingdom of God.   
      
   It is not God's will for anyone to perish and   
   spend eternity in Hell (which is a place of   
   punishment for those who have not had their   
   sins forgiven) (Rev 20:11-15) But God wants you   
   and I to spend eternity with him in Heaven. But   
   there are many people today who believe just   
   like Adam and Eve did; that they can do as they   
   please and that God will accept them the way   
   they are.   
      
   But God says something completely different.   
   (Mathew 7:13-14) (Luke 13:22-30)   
      
   Jesus Christ is the only way to God and eternal   
   life. (Acts 4:12) (John 14:6) (1 Timothy 2:5)   
      
   -----------------------------------------------   
   "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,   
   but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,   
   for God's wrath (anger) remains on him." (John   
   3:36) and (1 John 5:11-12)   
   -----------------------------------------------   
      
      
   So the question comes.   
      
   How can I be saved? or   
   How can I become a Christian? (follower of   
   Christ)   
      
   God says to:   
      
      
   A. Repent!- turn away from sin to a new way of   
   life. Luke 5:32, Luke 15:7, Acts 2:38, Mark   
   6:12   
      
   B. Believe that Jesus Christ died for your   
   sins, and on the third day God raised him from   
   the dead and you shall be saved. 1 Corinthians   
   Chapter 15, Romans 10:9-13, Acts 10:34-43   
      
   C. Once you truly have Faith you will continue   
   to live a life that is pleasing to God. When   
   you accept his Son, God will give you his HOLY   
   SPIRIT, so that you will have the Power to live   
   a victorious life over sin. (Ezekiel 36:27)   
   Colossians Chapter 3  Ephesians 4:17-5:21   
      
   God makes it quite clear from the Scriptures   
   (Word of God) that if a person claims to have   
   Faith in Jesus Christ - yet does not do the   
   things he commanded. Then that person is still   
   dead in his sins. James 2:14-26, 1 John 5:1-11,   
   1 John 2:3-6   
      
   -----------------------------------------------   
   "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming   
   when all who are in their graves will hear his   
   voice and come out - those who have done good   
   will rise to live, and those who have done evil   
   will rise to be condemned." (John Chapter 5:   
   Verses 28-29)
