If you are not a Christian and you want to become one, here are some
good facts to know.
1. Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God.
a. They could live with God forever because they were innocent.
b. Satan (the devil, Lucifer...etc) tricked Adam and Eve into
breaking God's law.
2. Adam and Eve were condemned to death for their sin and cast out of
the Garden of Eden to die.
a. Since they were sinful, their offspring were sinful.
b. We stemmed from Adam and Eve, so we are sinful.
3. God pitied us but stayed consistent with His laws therefore...
a. We were born sinful so we are doomed to die from birth.
b. In order to pay the debt for sinning, a life is required as
payment.
4. God came down and walked as a man as Jesus.
a. Jesus was a man but He was also God
b. Jesus was not sinful from birth because He was God and did not
stem from Adam and Eve.
5. Jesus died and paid the debt for humanity's sin
a. Jesus was able to pay the debt for humanity because He was not
sinful.
b. Since Jesus was God, his death was sufficient payment for all
the sins of humanity, past and present.
6. Three days after His death, God raised Jesus from the dead.
a. Jesus rose and explained that He was the judge on whether or
not we went to Heaven or Hell when we died.
b. Jesus holds our salvation in His hands because He paid the debt
for our sins.
7. Jesus explained that in order to get to Heaven when you die, you have
to believe in Him and acknowledge what He did for you.
a. When you accept Him and believe in Him, you will receive His
gift of salvation in the form of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit).
b. The Holy Ghost is God's/Jesus’ spirit dwelling within you.
c. When you receive the Holy Ghost, you will be able to enter
Heaven and live forever with God when you die.
8. Satan is jealous of God's majesty and is dedicated to destroying all
that God creates and loves.
a. This means that Satan hates you (because God loves you). So he
will do anything to keep you from getting the Holy Ghost.
b. Satan will do this by trying to make you believe ANYTHING
but God's truth.
c. Satan will try and steal as many souls as he can from God,
before God returns and destroys him.
9. Christ will return to Earth sometime in the future to destroy the world
and take with Him all those who have the Holy Ghost, all the rest will be
sent to Hell and live in eternal separation from God.
10. If you want to become a Christian and go to Heaven when you die,
pray this prayer and seek to serve God in all that you do.
"Jesus, I ask You to forgive me for my sins and set me free from
the powers of the Devil. I want You from this moment on to be Lord in
my life and I want You to take away the burdens of my heart. Jesus I
believe that You are God and that You died and rose from the dead as
You word (the Bible) says. I believe that You once and for all, totally
defeated Death and the Devil. I ask that You receive me as Your child
and to save me right now. Thank You Jesus. In Christ's name I pray
Amen."
