(Jesus Saves Lives)
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. ~John 1:1-3 (Amp)

If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action]. ~1 John 1:9 (Amp)
Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses> (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. ~Rom 10:9-10



We believe that everyone has sinned and fallen short of what God requires. God sent Jesus Christ to die on the cross, so that we may be forgiven and reconciled back to God, to have a daily personal relationship with Him. It is only through Jesus Christ that we come into this relationship with God.

We believe Jesus was raised to life so we may have eternal life with Him. In a sense when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we become a brand-new person.

Yes we still have struggles in our daily lives, but we know that Jesus is with us always and helps us when we give it over to Him.

Heres how to establish a spiritual BASE for your life from the bible.

B - Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and showed He was God by coming back to life. Do you believe that?

(1 Corinthians 15:2-4)

A - Accept Gods free gift of forgiveness for your sins. Do you want to do that?

(Romans 3:22)

S - Switch to Gods plan for your life. The bible word for that is repentance but it just means switch to Gods plan for your life. Do you want to do that?

(Mark 1:15, Romans 12:2)

E - Express your desire for Christ to be the director of your life - (Lord and Saviour).

(Romans 10:9)
SALVATION PRAYER:
If youre willing to take these four basic steps, heres a simple prayer you can pray.

"Dear God, I believe you sent your son, Jesus, to die for my sins so I can be forgiven. I am sorry for my sins and ask for your forgiveness, so I can live the rest of my life the way you want me to. I ask that Jesus would come into my heart and that you will fill me with your Holy Spirit. Amen.

If you have prayed this prayer the next step is to find a church where you will be built up in your faith. Ask God to lead you where He will have you go. It is important to connect with other Christians. God bless you as you walk with Him.



Also if you like you can contact me to let me know of your decision. I would love to know!

Learning to Pray the Bible Way
Matthew 7:7-12

God wants His children to ask for what is on their heart because He delights to give. But even more than that, He wants to fellowship with us. What joy can be ours every time we meet our heavenly Father through our prayers!

The privilege of supplication rests on our relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Only those who are part of Gods family can claim Him as their Father (John 14:6) and avail themselves of His pledge to answer prayer. He makes no such commitment to unbelievers. The single exception is the sinner who asks for forgiveness and receives Christ as Savior and Lord. His prayer is always answered with salvation as promised. (Romans 10:9)

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses three verbs to describe prayer: ask, seek, and knock. Notice the progression in intensity from a request to a search and then to further action. Prayer is more than giving God requests. It involves seeking after His will to guide our entreaties. It means knocking on doors by exploring different solutions and obtaining godly counsel to help determine our Lords mind. Jesus pledged that we will receive, we will find, and God will open the door. We have His assurance that the Lord will respond and that what He does is good.

Prayer is simple, yet we find it hard to practice at times. We try different methods but often feel dissatisfied and wonder if our prayers are having any effect. Ask the Lord to teach you more about biblical praying; put into practice what you learn, and wait in assurance for His answers!
