What is Salvation

If we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, then what does it take for a sinful person to go to Heaven? The answer to that question is, it takes FAITH! Hebrews 11:16 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." It takes a step of faith to please God and to believe that He will give you what you ask of Him. John 3:16 tells us that, "For God so loved the world (and that includes you) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever (again, that's you) believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

If you have been searching for that "something" or "someone" to fill that void on the inside of you, Jesus in your ONLY answer. To commit your life to Him and live for Him is the best decision you will ever make in your life. "How do I do that?" you might ask. It's very simple! The Bible says in Romans 10:9, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

To have the forgiveness of God, the confidence of going to heaven, and Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord, pray sincerely the following prayer as you repent of your sins and trust Jesus and Him only to save you. This will be your step of FAITH.

SALVATION PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father... I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and my sins and that He arose from the grave. I now ask you to forgive me of my sins and become the Lord of my life. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

That's it! It's that simple.

Now that you have become a Christian, God's plan and desire is for each Christian to grow. There are several ways to grow in your new faith journey, they are:

• Read the Bible. A good place to start is the gospel of John. It shows throughout this book the love of God towards you.
• Pray. This is simply talking with God every day.
• Fellowship with other Christians. The best way to do this is to find a church locally and attend regularly. If you are in the area, come worship with us. Here, you will make lasting relationships, enjoy fellowship and grow in your faith. You will learn a great deal about how God wants you to live each day.
