BELIEVE

It is important to understand the Biblical way to receive the gift of salvation. There are lost souls who've never been shown how to find forgiveness of sin and eternal security. 

Periodically, we shed light on the subject so that those who stumble upon this website are exposed to the truth found in Christ.

The Word of God guides you step by step ... 

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Confessing that you are indeed a sinner allows feelings of remorse to rise to the surface. 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The 'penalty' you deserve for sin and the good news of a 'gift' are both revealed.

Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Grace is noted, faith is noted, and one's inability to earn the gift is revealed. It is not a religion nor a denomination, it is only found in Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Even in our sinful state, divine love was extended ... revealing God's true nature.

John 3:16,17 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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. God's plan was put in motion ... the promise of redemption through faith in Christ. 

If reading these passages stirs something within, know that it is Jesus knocking at your heart's door. He is lovingly beckoning you to come ...

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

It's time to lay your burden down ...

2 Corinthians 6:2 Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

So ... what must you do to be saved? Simply believe

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  

Express your faith by praying to the One who welcomes you with open arms ... 

Lord, forgive me. I know that I am lost in sin and that I cannot save myself. I believe that you are the only begotten Son of God, that you bore my iniquity on Calvary's cross, and that the grave could not hold you. By faith, I receive the gift of salvation and surrender my life to your Lordship. 

You are accepted in the Beloved ... These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. (1 John 5:13)

Study the Word of God. Grow in your knowledge of Christ. Walk by faith and not by sight. Pray often.
