Foreword
A great deal of discussion has been given to this all-important subject of how one becomes a Christian. Yet many people, including Christians, do not have a clear grasp of the subject, resulting in an inability to explain it to others.
At what point can a person say they are now a Christian? What are the steps involved? Is it an event or a process? Is it totally reliant upon the work of God, or does it also depend upon our human efforts?
This booklet seeks to address these issues, presenting answers from a biblical view. Opinions, no matter how strongly we feel about them, are not as valid as the ultimate truth God has presented in the pages of the inspired Scriptures. Dick Tripp clearly illustrates the what, who, why and how one can experience a spiritual birth. The testimonies of people, both past and present, help show its relevance and the steps required to experience this life-changing birth. I remember a young man I spoke to who had been going to a church for over two years. He said, "There must be something more", and asked, "What is it?" Also, another man on a ship who said he wanted to become a Christian but didn't know how. Could it be that you are like this or know someone who is?
I commend this book, praying that it will not only provide clear understanding but will be an aid in assisting people to enter the life-changing experience of being converted or born again.
