The Good News The Gospel
Becoming a Christian is not about becoming religious.
Rather, it’s about coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He became man, without ceasing to be God. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished and fully completed our redemption through His death on the cross, making eternal life in heaven possible for anyone who places their faith in Him and His completed work.
He loved you so much, He was willing to prove it by giving His life for you!
There Is Hope!
In a world where often things seem hopeless, the Bible tells us there is hope. That hope is found in Jesus!
Please take 15 minutes to watch this video that explains the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
Seven Steps How to know for sure you are going to Heaven.
Realize that God loves you
God loves you and has a plan for your life.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
The Bible says all have sinned
Our sins have separated us from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
All sin must be paid for
“For the wages of sin is death…”
Romans 6:23
Wages means payment. The payment for our sin is death and hell; separation from God forever. If we go on in our sin we will die without Christ and be without God forever.
The good news is that Christ paid for our sins
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
We must personally pray and receive Christ by faith
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
A sinner’s prayer
Lord, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today, I would not go to heaven. Forgive my sin, come into my life, and be my Savior. Help me live for You from this day forward. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
