Our
Problem...
We are separated
from God and are spiritually dead because of disobedience to God. (Isaiah
59:2; Romans
3:23)
Therefore…
We must face
God's judgment & punishment for our sins. (Romans
6:23; Hebrews
9:27) On our own merits and efforts, we cannot gain God's favor or
forgiveness. (Ephesians
2:8,9; Titus
3:5)
God's
Solution…
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the
punishment for our sin. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, God
freely offers us His forgiveness and promises us an eternal and
abundant life. (John
3:16; John
10:10; Romans
5:8; I Corinthians
15:3,4)
God
Invites You…
God invites you to receive His forgiveness and
eternal life by confessing your sins and welcoming the Lord Jesus
Christ into your life as personal Savior. (Isaiah 55:7; John 5:24)
When you receive Jesus into your life through sincere prayer, the
Bible affirms that you have become a true child of God, that God's
Holy Spirit lives within you and that you can fully claim all of
God's promises as your own- including eternal life! (John
1:12; John
17:3; Romans
8:15-16; Romans
10:9,10,13;
I John
5:11-13; Revelation
3:20)
A
New Beginning…
As you begin a new life in Christ, you are
encouraged to grow in the love, fellowship and knowledge of God.
These goals can be accomplished in many ways, including:
-
Studying and Obeying God's Word, the Bible (Psalm
1:3; John
14:21)
-
Trusting the Lord Jesus to lead you according to
His will (John
15:3-5)
-
Regularly fellowshipping with God through prayer
(John
15:7)
-
Meeting regularly with other Christians to
worship God and fellowship with one another (Hebrews
10:25; Acts
2:42)
-
Witnessing about the Lord Jesus Christ to others
through your words and actions (Matthew
25:36; Matthew 28:
18-20; Romans 12: 3-17;
I Peter
3:15)
