FOR FAST RESULTS TRY A
FRONTIERSMAN CLASSIFIET
By Wes Lancaster
How does one BECOME a
Christian? The experience by
which one becomes a Christian is
called, in the Bible, the new birth,
or conversion, or regeneration, or
being saved, or being justified,
etc. The point is, that it is an
experience by which one gets
right with God.
The elements in conversion are
two: repentance and faith. Some
times the scriptures merely say
we are saved by faith. This can
be tuely said because no one can
exercise “saving faith” without
true repentance.
Jesus preached: “Repent and
believe the gospel . . . except you
repent you shall . . . perish.” The
apostles preached: “Repent and
be converted that your sins may
be blotted out.” ‘‘Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt
be saved!”
To repent means to be brokenly
contrite for sin and to turn,
around from it to God; to com
mit ourself entirely to God. Ttk
believe or have faith is to ap
propriate or accept the forgive
ness of God when we, in true
repentance, ask it. The instant
that one thus believes on Christ
for pardon a miraculous change
takes place within and he is
transformed in his nature and
forgiven his sin. He is converted,,
saved, regenerated, justified, born
again. He has become a Christian.
Christ lives within and he is
ready to follow the Lord in bap
tism and in godly living.
WOULDN’T YOU like to be. a,
real Christian?
