Our greatest desire is for you to experience new life with Jesus Christ. If you have never made the decision to turn from your sinful past and embrace Jesus as your Savior, this is your invitation.
Every human is a sinner, and our sinful thoughts and actions separate us from a holy God. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is a God of justice, therefore our sin merits eternal separation from Him. Recognizing this dilemma is the beginning of our journey.
Our disobedience is an offense to God that demands a penalty. That is why the Bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that “the wages of sin is death.” We have earned this death, both physical and spiritual.
Thankfully, there is hope for sinners. The rest of Romans 6:23 tells us that while the wages of sin is death, “the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Indeed, God loves us so much that He sent Jesus Christ to die for us.
Through his sacrificial death on a cross, Jesus Christ paid in full the just penalty of our sin. That is why He could say, “It is finished” (John 19:30). In the midst of our sinfulness, Jesus died and paid the penalty for our sins, the penalty we deserved to pay, to satisfy the justice of God. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
None of us deserves to have the debt of our sin forgiven. However, because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can have salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 says that it is “by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” We cannot prove ourselves worthy of God’s forgiveness. Our requirement is to believe in the Lord Jesus for salvation. To believe in Jesus means to depend on Him alone to forgive you and to give you eternal life.
Perhaps you have never confessed Jesus Christ as your Savior. There is no greater moment than now to do this very thing. Is something holding you back from trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior? If not, then take a moment right now to tell Jesus Christ that you believe in Him. “If you declare 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).
John 5:24 explains, “… whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” When you place your trust in Jesus Christ, you have new life. The Bible describes this as passing from death to life, from darkness to light. Your hope in Jesus is secure.
As a believer in Jesus, you will grow in your faith by spending time with Him each day, praying and reading your Bible. Growth also occurs when you worship and serve with others who are following Jesus in a Bible-teaching church.
We want to celebrate with you in your new-found faith! If you have just put your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation, please contact us and let us know. We would love to follow-up with you and encourage you in your new life with Jesus.
