How to Become a Christian“If you had died the minute you started to read this, do you know for sure that you would be in heaven?”

The BIBLE SAYS there are four things a person must know to go to heaven:

1. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23. This means we have sinned and we fall short of Jesus, God’s glory.2. “For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23(a). Our sin has earned a wage. That wage is death or separation from God in Hell.3. “But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23(b). God offers us the free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We must receive God’s Son, Jesus Christ, to receive His gift of eternal life.4. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come to him.” Revelation 3:20. Jesus stands at the door of your heart waiting for you to invite Him in as Savior.

So taking Him as your Savior is the next step. How? Simple. Talk to Him. Simply ask God to save you. Pray this prayer now from the Heart: “Dear Jesus, forgive me of all my sins and save my soul. I repent of all my sins and ask you to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Take control of my life, for I give myself to You. Thank you for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

Now that you have received Jesus Christ you can know that you are saved because God has given you His Word. “And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” (1 John 5:11-13)

ABFs (Adult Bible Fellowships)If you are looking for a chance to connect with others and grow in God be sure to visit one or all of our ABFs. We offer small groups for all ages during both services on Sunday morning. Check out the list below to find the best place for you and your family.

WelcomeWe are delighted to have you join us in worship this morning. This church exists for three specific purposes. The first reason we exist is to connect people to God and others. The second reason we exist is to help people grow in their walk with Christ. The third reason we exist is to give people an opportunity to express their appreciation to God through service. Connect, Grow, Serve. If you desire to connect with

God and others, grow in your walk with Christ or find a place to use your spiritual gifts, we hope that you will prayerfully consider Topeka Baptist. Thanks again for being our guest. May you have a blessed day!
