Salvation

Through faith in Jesus Christ, one can be saved from the eternal consequences of sin and receive eternal life with God in heaven. It is the cornerstone of the Christian faith and is available to anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Salvation is as easy as believing in your heart that Jesus died for your sin and wants to live in your heart. If you'd like to be saved, pray the prayer below.

"Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that He rose from the dead on the third day. I ask you to forgive me of my sins and to come into my life as my Lord and Savior. I give my life to you, and I ask for your guidance and strength to live for you from this day forward. Thank you for your love and mercy. In Jesus' name, Amen"

Understanding the Gospel

Who is good?
Romans 3:10 says, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;”
Who has sinned?
Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Where did sin come from?
Romans 5:12 says, “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—“
What is the penalty for sin?
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
What is our way out?
Romans 5:8 says, “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

So yes there is a way out, and he even takes it further in Romans 10:9-10 and tells us exactly what to do, “ because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”

Here is what we can conclude from scripture: no one is good except for God, and we desperately need him. We can never make ourselves right with God apart from the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Jesus has made a way for us to know God though if we turn from our sins(repent) and place faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. To repent is more than just saying I’m sorry, but it’s an action in that we turn completely from our sins and from the world and we turn to God. So, God wants us to turn and place our faith in Him. To place faith in something doesn’t just mean you believe in it, but rather it means to place weight in it. When you place faith in Jesus Christ you’re not just saying you believe in Jesus, but rather you’re saying I place my whole life in His hands, and everything I am is His. Are you ready to repent of your sins and place faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
If so you can pray to receive Christ right now!

Pray to receive Christ: “Dear God, I need you, I have sinned against you but I believe that you sent your Son Jesus to die on the cross for me, and I believe that He rose from the grave.  I repent of my sins, and I turn completely from them. By faith I give you everything that I am, and I ask Jesus to be my Lord and Savior.  Fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may live for your Glory.  Thank you for saving me. Amen”
