The best way is to stay away from rabidly judgmental Christians. They will turn you away from god. Ever hear the saying, "Jesus, please save me from your followers"?

It starts with belief. Belief that God spoke to man through prophets. You can find what God says in the [Christian] bible; it is there for the believer. The bible is not a conversion manual, but a tool for those who already believe.
In the pages of the Bible, you will find that Jesus answered Thomas' question about "the way". Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me..." You either accept this or not.
I will stop here. I did not cite verses because you have heard verses, many verses from Christians that you already know. I believe that the fact that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through him answers your question. I will leave it to other Christians to help you with the details.

Start with the Bible..Matthew, Mark ,Luke and John. These books will tell you what kind of person He is and was.
Then decide whether you believe what you have read.
Third keep reading if you believe and accept who He is and was and you've now accepted Christ.
Now wasn't that easy? Hope you start now..love in the Lord..

well, first you gotta believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are ONE! then, Accept that he's the lord who came for us and died on the cross to wash away our sins so we don't go to hell when we die. After than you belief that he resurrected from the death because he's God and he can do anything beyond our imagination! Go to church and get baptized so u can become Christian and also start praying to God and ask him to help you become a good person and to lead you ahead in life. OK then you get the Bible and you start reading!
Hope that helped! :-)

Sure no problem.
Jesus finished work on the cross is an acceptable sacrifice for our sins in the eyes of GOD. Now it only has to be acceptable to you.
Shalom.

Christ made certain statements about God, man and the solution for mankind's problems.
Accept what he said and you accept Christ.
What did he say?
Among other things:
Matthew 6:33
Matthew 28:19

YYYYAYY pray this prayer aloud:
God I am a sinner and I need to be saved from my sins. I now repent of my sins and I confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Only He is able to save me from Hell and give me Eternal Life. I believe Jesus in your Son and that You God raised Him from the dead. I do now, with my heart, accept Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior.
Jesus come into my heart and change me from a sinner to a Child of God. Teach me your ways Lord, Lead me to a good church and good bible believing friends that will encourage me and strengthen me in your Word. Write my name in your book of Life and never blot it out but fill me with the Holy Spirit and seal my salvation for all Eternity.

A two-year-old boy was once staring at a heater, fascinated by its bright orange glow. His father saw him and warned, "Don’t touch that heater, son. It may look pretty, but it’s hot." The little boy believed him, and moved away from the heater. Some time later, after his father had left the room, the boy thought, "I wonder if it really is hot." He then reached out to touch it and see for himself. The second his flesh burned, he stopped believing it was hot; he now knew it was hot! He had moved out of the realm of belief into the realm of experience.
Christians believed in God’s existence before their conversion. However, when they obeyed the Word of God, turned from their sins, and embraced Jesus Christ, they stopped merely believing. The moment they reached out and touched the heater bar of God’s mercy, they moved out of belief into the realm of experience. This experience is so radical, Jesus referred to it as being "born again." The Bible says that those who don’t know God are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1; 4:18). We are born with physical life, but not spiritual life. Picture unbelievers as corpses walking around who, by repenting and placing their faith in Christ, receive His very life. There is a radical difference between a corpse and a living, breathing human, just as there is when sinners pass from spiritual death to life. The apostle Paul said if you are "in Christ," you are a brand new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Those who now have God’s Spirit living in them will love what He loves and desire to do His will; they will have a hunger for His Word, a love for other believers, and a burden for the lost. The Holy Spirit also confirms in their spirit that they are now children of God (Romans 8:16). Those who believe on the name of the Son of God can know that they have eternal life (1 John 5:12,13).
Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, "My speech and my preaching were not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:4,5). What Paul was saying was, "I deliberately didn’t talk you into your faith, but I let God’s power transform you." He didn’t reach them through an intellectual assent, but through the realm of personal experience.
Suppose two people—a heater manufacturer and a skin specialist—walked into the room just after that child had burned his hand on the heater. Both assured the boy that he couldn’t possibly have been burned. But all the experts, theories, and arguments in the world will not dissuade that boy, because of his experience. Those who have been transformed by God’s power need never fear scientific or other arguments, because the man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument. "For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance . . ." (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

Simply pray to God In Jesus' name and ask Him to take control of your life. Here's an example:
Father, I stand before you a sinner, and am now seeking your Mercy upon my soul. I believe in my heart and soul, that Jesus died for my sins. I ask you to come into my life and take control of my direction. I ask this in the Mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Congratulations!
God Bless You, you are saved and cannot be cursed!
