What a loving thing for you to do, for a friend!
If he wants to be a Christian, tell him that it is imperative that we recognize that we are sinful, by nature. I am sure he understands this. That God so loved us, that God sent Jesus to atone for mankind's sin. Jesus, came in flesh, was persecuted, crucified, buried and arose on the third day.
If your friend understands this and has faith that God indeed, sent Jesus, then all he needs to do is ask God for forgiveness and ask the Lord to come and dwell, within his heart. Pray, and just let God have His way, through the Holy Spirit!
The greatest help I can give, are my prayers for his salvation. Please let him know that I am praying for him and for His relationship with our Creator, God.
GBU, for having such a loving heart for others!

Take him to church with you and introduce him to the pastor. Let the pastor know that he wants to accept Jesus as his Savior. He'll be baptised and he'll need to get into a good Bible Study group at church.
Why don't the two of you read the Gospel of John together.
The Bible mentioned that we need to repent of our sins and forgive all of those who have sinned against us. Just say, "Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins and I forgive those who have sinned against me." It is very important to forgive people that have done you wrong. Then say, "I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me, was buried, resurrected and is coming again. Please write my name in the Lamb's Book of Life and in Jesus' name I ask. Amen"
For awhile you need to study the Bible before you go out trying to get the world saved. However, live your life so others can see Jesus in you. Jesus says that we are the salt of the world and the light of the world. We should easily be recognized as a good Christian person. I suggest reading the red letter portion of the New Testament which is Jesus' words as He spoke when He walked the earth. Jesus Christ is our example and we need to follow his example.
God Bless You. Anytime you need strong faith, pray and remind God of Jeremiah 33:3 which says, "Call upon Me and I will answer three and show you great and mighty things." It doesn't hurt to ask God to strengthen your faith and to increase your faith. Offer God your hands and say "Here are my hands Lord, please use them and here is my mouth Lord, please use it for your glory." Surrender your life to the Lord and ask Him to send you someone to help.

How wonderful to see this. All your friend has to do is this; your friend has to pray outloud this prayer; Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart, I believe in you, I trust you, I give you my life. I love you Jesus, AMEN. It is that simple honey, nothing that takes a rocket scientist to do. Then once your friend has accepted Jesus into their heart, your friend should try and read the Bible everyday.......I would start at the book of Matthew and read all of the New Testament. I also would suggest that your friend get used to taking time out to pray. Pray for others, pray for our nation, pray for our troops, our policemen, our firefighters, or miners. Ask for their safety so they can come home to their families. I wish you luck, GOD BLESS YOU, Blessings

whatever city he lives in he needs to find a church. look in the phone book and he needs to visit different churches, talk to the pastors. find out what their mission statement is.take your time finding a church and then he will eventually know where he belongs. he will feel something . make sure if he wants to be a christian that is the kind of church he is in. next, God is a relationship not religion. all he wants is a relationship with us and by talking to and reading about someone is how you have a relationship with them. he wants our heart.

Find a local church and start attending the service...Get a bible and read the Gospel of John and the Book of Acts....pray and ask for guidance....First thing he needs to do is ask Jesus into this heart...,,,he will need to repent from his sins,,(turn away from the wrong things, you know you do) be baptized.
....Here is a prayer that has been used by millions to invite Jeus into their heart: IT is known as the sinner's prayer....you can put it into your own words...it is only given as an example..Just bleive in your heart and be sincere.."The Sinners Prayer"..........................
Heavenly Father:..........................................................................
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen.
Now, go get baptised and welcome to the Family of God. There is more you need to know about receiving the Holy Spirit,,but for now....just live your life for him and learn all you can.

The best way to help your friend is to tell him how Jesus became your Saviour, and how Jesus has helped you in your life through prayer and loving others. God bless you, and your friend!!!
