Jesus is Lord and true faith in Him is the only way to salvation and an eternity with God the Father. Jesus said to him, “I amthe way,the truth, andthe life.No one comes to the Fatherexcept through Me.” John 14:6
Forgiveness and cleansing of our sins (salvation) are granted to each of us as we individually:
1
Agree with God that my sin separates me from Him and is worthy of death.
2
Ask God to forgive me of my sins on the basis of Jesus’ death in our place.
3
Place my faith fully in Jesus as my Lord (my Authority in life) and as my Savior, that he rose from the dead and will return from Heaven to judge the living and the dead.
4
Begin a life of saying “no” to myself and saying “yes” to Jesus, obeying His biblical commands, beginning with the commands to be baptized and to begin faithful presence with other believers in a Bible-teaching church.
(We can help you with all of these four steps to God. Give us a call or come to see us and let us know you are interested in knowing just what the Bible does say about it all.)
The church is the Bride of Christ and is empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus our Lord. Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.Go, therefore, and make disciplesofall nations,baptizingthem in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember,I am with you always,to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
