“It is easy to become a Christian.”    This remark is sometimes carelessly made to prospects for conversion.  It is not true, for the matter of surrendering one’s life to Christ, facing up to sin, and submitting to Christian baptism require much courage and humility.

It is more accurate to say that it is simple to become a Christian.  The steps by which a person may obtain forgiveness of sins and receive the hope of salvation are reasonably simple.

Unfortunately, however, even the simplicity of the New Testament plan of salvation has been lost by the church.  There is widespread confusion as to what is required of man for salvation.  Since no topic is so important as this one, it needs to be made very clear.
