Welcome to Christ Riders My Space
It doesn't matter whether you ride a vintage Harley, a Honda VTX or a Hayabusa. If you share a passion for riding motorcycles and you love the Lord Jesus, we would love to have you join us as a friend to spread the good news to the world of Jesus Christ and what he has done for us.
John 12:46 I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness.
How can I become a Christian?
The difficult part about becoming a Christian is admitting that we are more lost and sinful than we ever imagined, but that, through Jesus, we are more loved and accepted than we ever dared hope. He asks us to become like little children and simply trust that His ways are best for us. Though we often try to make it harder than it really is by adding to His finished work on the cross, it's as easy as A B C...
A - Agree with God about your sin & turn from it.
The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
B - Believe that Jesus died for YOU and that He alone can change your heart from the inside out.
The Bible says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." Acts 16:31
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
C - Call out to Jesus. Ask Him to be your Savior and Lord.
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13
There are no magic words. God wants to hear your heart. But if you don't know where to start in talking to him, here is a sample prayer:
Dear God, I understand I am a sinner, but I believe Jesus died for my sins. I ask you to forgive me of my sins, and make me whole. I need You and accept Your gift of eternal life. From this day forward, I choose to follow You and Your will for my life. Please change my heart and make me into the person that YOU want me to be. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
We live in a broken world. The good news is: Jesus came to this broken world and died for broken people like you and me!! Jesus alone is able to save you from your brokenness. He is an all-powerful rescuer who is coming to you right where you are.
The key words in becoming a Christian are "repentance" and "faith." Repentance simply means turning around... turning from your old life and turning your eyes towards Jesus Christ and His cross. Faith is just believing what God says He will do. God will help you repent and to trust in Him. Just ask.
Is there anything that is keeping you from turning your life over to Him right now? If not, I encourage you to just start talking to Him. There are no magic words. The Bible teaches us that He is very real, that He is present everywhere and can hear everything. So you can just pour out your heart to Him and ask Him to live in your heart... and He will!
Some people explain it with this word picture. In every person's heart there is a throne. Someone or something is ruling your life. (Usually it's "self" but sometimes it's a passion for another person or another thing.) Jesus Christ wants to be on that throne alone. And you alone can let Him have that place. He has done all the work necessary to rule our lives perfectly. He lived the perfect life that we couldn't live. He died the death that we deserved to die because we have broken God's laws. He paid the price for our sins that we owed but could not pay. He offered up Himself as a complete substitute in our place. He not only wants to be the Lord of your life, but also your best friend, your comforter, your guide, and your strength.
PERSECUTED WITHOUT CAUSE“...Help me, for men persecute me without cause...Preserve my life according to your love, and I will obey the statutes of your mouth†(Psalm 119:86b, 88).We have reason to believe that David wrote Psalm 119. Certainly in his day he and other righteous men were persecuted: Heman, one of King David’s top worship leaders, wrote, “From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death....All day long they surround me like a flood†(Psalm 88:15, 17). Ethan, another worship leader, wrote, “How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? (Psalm 89: 46).Through all generations Satan has hassled God’s people: “Others were tortured....Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword†(Hebrews 11:35-37).More of God’s people are persecuted and martyred today than ever before in history—in the Middle East, China, Africa.Pray for your suffering brothers and sisters. Support missions ministering in dangerous places. Speak up for our government to protest these cruelties.
