Step 1 - God's Purpose: Peace and Life

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and abundant & eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16                                                           

So then why don't most people have this peace and life that God planned for us to have?

Step 2 -The Problem: Our Separation

God never made us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a freedom of choice.

We can chose Him, or we can chose to disobey God and go our own way. 

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23

Our Attempts to Reach God  - People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and  God...  Such as Religions or just trying to do good, but all these things fail and fall short.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Proverbs 14:12

Step 3 - God's Bridge: The Cross

Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged

the gap between God and people.

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." 1 Peter 3:18

God has provided the only way, but each person must make a choice.

Step 4 - Our Response: Receive Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12

“That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

If you want to do this simply pray and allow God to come into your life. 

How to Pray    Dear Lord Jesus,  I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.  Be the one who leads and directs my life from this day on.   In Jesus' name. Amen.

If you received Christ we would like to hear from you, please contact our office via the online contact form and let us know of your decision.  Thanks.
