Our Hope is in Jesus Christ
There are some of you who may not know Jesus Christ personally.
Below we explain a very basic description of the message of the Bible and
the hope that we have. Please take time to learn about our hope, Jesus
Christ.
All are sinners
No matter how good or moral we may be, God's Word says that we fall
short of God's standards. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory
of God.” Romans 3:23
All are under the penalty for sin
The final penalty for sin is death and this death means separation
from God forever. “For the wages of sin is death...” Romans 6:23
Christ died to pay the penalty for sin. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ,
to die in your place. As your substitute, He took your penalty on Himself.
“But God commended His love toward us that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
Salvation is offered free
Christ purchased our salvation with His blood on the cross, and offers it as
a free gift. A gift is not earned and it is not yours until you accept it. “The
gift of God is eternal life.” Romans 6:23. “Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to His mercy, He saved us.” Titus 3:5
Salvation (Christ) must be accepted
“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans
10:9. If you are willing to repent (turn from your sin), put your trust in
Christ alone to enter your life and save you, eternal life in the presence of
God will be yours. A prayer that you might pray is: “Lord, be merciful to
me, a sinner. Forgive my sins as I turn my back on my sins; and save my
soul, in the name of Jesus Christ.”
If you have repented and accepted Christ, here are some things you can
do to begin to grow in your new life.
1. Let us, or a Christian friend, know so we can rejoice and offer help.
2. Publicly confess your faith in Christ at a Bible believing church.
3. Be baptized and join a Bible believing church.
4. Pray and study God's Word.Click to add text, images, and other content
---------------------------------------------------------- Frustrated with your walk with the Lord? | The Bible is TRUE. It's actually been proven true. Jesus Christ was a REAL man - which has also been proven. Do you know what has NEVER been disproven? The resurrection of Jesus. He died on a cross and 3 days later, he rose again. Did he do this so that you would change and be perfect and go to Church? NOOOOO, he did it for one reason, to forgive you from your sins.
