eternal life, you may be asking yourself, how do I become a Christian?
Becoming a Christian is the most important decision you will ever
make in you life. Whether you will spend eternity in heaven or
hell will be judged on your decision to become a Christian or
not. Receiving Jesus As Savior and Lord will assure you a place
in heaven. When you confess Jesus Christ with your mouth and believe
in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, than you will
be saved.
