The Gospel
We believe the Bible is one big love story written from God to us. From beginning to end, the message is simple: God made you, He knows you, and He wants a real relationship with you that lasts forever (John 3:16).
But there’s a problem — we are separated from God by our sin. Sin is anything we do, think, or say that goes against God’s perfect ways. And the truth is, every single one of us has sinned (Romans 3:23). No matter how “good” we try to be, we can’t earn our way into God’s presence (Isaiah 64:6). Sin separates us from Him, and the cost of that separation is death, forever apart from God (Romans 6:23).
But there's good news! God's desire is for us all to repent and be saved from our sins (2 Peter 3:9). God actually refused to leave us in that hopeless place by coming to earth Himself as Jesus Christ: fully God and fully human (John 1:14). Jesus lived a perfect life that we never could, and then chose to take our punishment by dying on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21). Three days later, He rose from the dead, defeating death and proving He really is who He says He is. The Savior. The Son of God. The only way to eternal life (John 14:6).
Do you clean yourself before taking a shower? Or do you take a shower to get clean? In the same way, salvation isn’t about trying harder or cleaning yourself up before coming to God. Jesus wants you to come to Him just the way you are. He has come to save the sinners and make us new. (Matthew 9:12:13). It’s about fully surrendering, putting your faith completely in Jesus and what He’s already done for you, not in what you can do for yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9). Isn't that a weight off your shoulders?
The Bible says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). That means you, too.
If you're interested in this Jesus guy, or perhaps even ready to call yourself a Christian, there's no better time than now to believe in The Gospel. Time is running out, after all (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11). You can talk to God right now where you are. If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10).
Here is a simple prayer if you'd like to give your life to Christ:
​
Jesus, forgive me for living my life apart from you. I know I’m a sinner, and I know that I need You. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I am choosing to turn away from my old life and to trust You completely as my Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, change me, and show me how to follow You from this day forward. In Jesus name, Amen.
If you prayed that and meant it, welcome to the kingdom of God. Heaven is celebrating (Luke 15:7), and so are we!!!
