How to Convert to Christianity
The overriding message of the Christian faith is that God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. Despite the fact that none of us is perfect and we all make bad decisions and poor choices, a perfect, holy and eternal God loves us. He loved people so much that He let His very own son, Jesus, die so that we could live an eternal life with Him. God won't force you to have a relationship with Him. You have to willingly make the choice to become a Christian.

Understand that God loves you and wants you to have an eternal life after you experience physical death. This message is found throughout the Bible, but you can read it briefly in the Bible book of John, chapter 3, verse 16.
-
2
Realize that every person has done bad things, also known as sin. Because of these sins, you are separated from God now and will be forever separated from Him when you die. The Bible book of Romans says that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Discover that you can be forgiven of your sins because Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life as a man and died on a cross. Jesus suffered death so that we can live an eternal life. You can read about Jesus' life and death in the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Tips & Warnings
The Bible contains the story of God's relationship with humans over the centuries. You can buy a copy at any discount store. It does not matter what version you read, although modern translations may be easier to understand than the traditional King James Bible.
Finding another Christian to talk to about your newfound faith may help you learn more about living a Christian life.
Be wary of people who expect you to perform specific tasks, give money or pray very specific prayers. God does not require any of that for you to become a Christian.

If you total the pages of the Bible, only 11% concerns the life and teachings of Jesus. Over 19% is about Paul, who is the real founder of Christianity. But most of the Bible is the Hebrew Torah, or Old Testament. This book is a horrid justification for the Hebrews to steal the lands of the Canaanites. They used the idea of god to claim that they could take by force what was not theirs. Read the books of Joshua and Judges, which are nothing more than page after page of commands by god to attack a particular city, kill all the people, including the children. Except sometimes god ordered them to keep the children alive to become slaves. And sometimes god ordered the young boys to be killed but the young girls to be kept alive to become the sexual slaves of the Hebrew men. In every aspect, from ordering the destruction of entire cities, to throwing Adam and Eve out of paradise because they -

Christians say that if u believe in Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection u will become christian but for their statements they have NO proof from their BIBLE. becoz bible says in Mathew 12:38:40 that Jesus was ALIVE when he was buried for 3 days. but bible says he has to be died to fulfill the prophecy of crucifixion and resurrection. so dont believe in christianity if u are truthful ask them for proof. what they are telling is lie . please call me on 00 91 9786 290 580 for further details. Believe in ONLY ONE God. Jesus is MESSENGER of God he is not God himself. be clear in that.

Great...yet step one says after physical death.... many scripures that show some living in this time will never experience death at all! What's more there is an Earthly Hope of everlasting life! Psalm 37: 29," The righteous themselves will possese the EARTH and reside Forever upon it." This is reffering to the future we all can look forward too here on Earth yet when God restores it to paradisaic conditions without wickedness around! Thanks! Hummingbird
