How to become a Christian

Romans 10:9-13

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and  believe in your heart that God raised him from the  dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are  justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess  your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will  never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile— the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who  call on Him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord  will be saved.”
