How To Become A Christian

It only takes a moment to become a Christian. To recognize that one has sinned, indeed is a sinner, and has no way to absolve those sins, then repents and relies on Christ and His work on the cross for the removal of sin and the bestowal of Christ's righteousness. A change takes place in that person's life. We cannot offer our own moral solution to our sinfulness but we can accept God's solution, His atoning sacrifice for us, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to enable us to live a holy life. The reservoir of evil within us is deeper than we know, but the Holy Spirit is able to give us  daily victory over it. Thus the moment it takes to become a Christian is followed by a lifetime of becoming a mature Christian. It takes a moment to become a Christian. But surrendering our will - our agenda - our desires - to the Lordship of Jesus so He can mold us into maturity - is a lifetime process.
