GOD LOVES YOU AND HAS A WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Getting to know Jesus
God Loves You!
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
God has a wonderful plan for your life!
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Walking down the Road to Salvation
Because of our sin, we are separated from God.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
The Penalty for our sin is death.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ!
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
If we repent of our sin, confess, and trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,
we will be saved from our sins!
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
To receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, pray this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you into my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I give the rest of my life to serving You. I thank You and praise You! Amen.
Now that you are a "new creation" in Jesus Christ, the road ahead will be full of life-changing experiences. Growing in knowledge and understanding of the Bible and your Christian walk with God is essential for your spiritual growth.
Here are some ways you can grow in your walk with Christ
1. Be baptized.
Baptism identifies you with Christ.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he replied, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
2. Study the Bible.
The Bible will guide you through life and answer life's questions.
Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
3. Share your faith with others.
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord.
So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
4. Join a local church.
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
5. Fellowship with other Christians.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
6. Make prayer a part of your daily life. God desires to meet your needs!
He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father, who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.”
