The First Step for every person is to make peace with God.
First, realize that God loves you.
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Second, realize that everyone is a sinner.
Sin is anything that we do that is contrary to God's will. We all choose to disobey God, and this sin separates us from God (Romans 3:23).
Third, realize that sin has a price that must be paid.
Romans 6:23 tells us, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Fourth, realize that Jesus Christ died to pay your price.
Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the grave three days later. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Finally, respond to Jesus.
Believe in your heart that Jesus alone saves you through what He's already done on the cross. Repent, turning away from yourself and your sin and turning towards Jesus.
Tell God and others that your faith is in Jesus!
