JESUS CHRIST GIVES SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH.

Your heart tends to turn away from God and rebel against Him.  The Bible calls this "sin." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Yet God loves you and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, "I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance."

​

To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, "But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

​

You receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 says, "For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift—not from works, so that no one can boast." Faith is a decision of your heart demonstrated by the actions of your life. Romans 10:9 says, "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."

​

If you trust that Jesus died for your sins and to receive new life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this to express your repentance and faith in Him:

"Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. I repent of my sins and I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for my new life. From this day forward, I choose to follow You."

​

If you have trusted Jesus for salvation, share your decision with a Christian friend or pastor. If you are not already attending church, Friendly Church is here to here to help you grow in your faith. Following Christ's example, ask to be baptized by immersion as a public expression of your faith.
