New Life In Christ

 

Good News
We all love to hear good news--a child doing well on a test, a friend getting a promotion or a family member overcoming a serious illness. The greatest news of all, however, transcends all of these. This good news is that God loves you and has sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for you and to rise again so that, through Him, you can have eternal life.
 

The Gospel message is explained clearly in the Bible:

  1. All have sinned (Romans 3:23).

  2. The penalty for sin is death (Romans 6:23).  

  3. Jesus died for us to pay the penalty of our sin (Romans 5:8).

  4. When you confess your sin and ask God to forgive you and come into your heart, God takes away your sin and you become His child through faith (1 John 1:9).
 

SALVATION BY GRACE

The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift of God received by grace through faith. It is of utmost importance that we remember that no one is saved and going to heaven because of works. Being a good person, being a member of a church, participating in religious exercises, attending church services, giving money or being baptized does not take away our sins and make us Christians. Though all these things are good, only the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins.

 

If you confess your sins to God, trust in Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross for forgiveness, and ask Jesus to come into your heart, God will forgive you and you will become a new person. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

 

If you have not asked Jesus to forgive your sins and come into your heart, will you do that now? If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please contact the pastor or church office.
