Becoming a Christian can be as simple as A,B,C. We tend to complicate salvation and the way to obtain it. The Bible is clear on what is involved to find and have a new life in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
You must first realize that Heaven is a free gift. It is not earned or deserved. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."
Next you must understand that man cannot save himself. We are all sinners and need to have eternal life in order to go to Heaven. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
God solved our problem (we are sinners and cannot get to heaven on our own) in the Person of Jesus Christ. The Bible clearly states that Jesus' death on the cross, shedding His blood,was necessary. Hebrews 9:22b..."without shedding of blood is no remission." That Jesus is the only way to heaven: Acts 4:12 "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Jesus said of Himself in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the father, but by me."
You must confess and believe that Jesus is the sinless Son of God, Who died on the cross for our sins, and rose the third day from the grave. Romans 10:9-10 "For if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Friend, salvation is that simple. Jesus loves you and proved His love by dying in your place on the cross. Accept His free gift of eternal life with Him in heaven. The peace that you seek is found only in Christ!!!
