I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:14-17

You're not here by accident. God loves you. He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus, His Son. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin.

The Bible describes sin in many ways. Most simply, sin is our failure to measure up to God’s holiness and His righteous standards. We sin by things we do, choices we make, attitudes we show, and thoughts we entertain. We also sin when we fail to do right things. The Bible affirms our own experience – “there is none righteous, not even one.” No matter how good we try to be, none of us does right things all the time.

People tend to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people. But God says that every person who has ever lived is a sinner, and that any sin separates us from God. No matter how we might classify ourselves, this includes you and me. We are all sinners.

Many people are confused about the way to God. Some think they will be punished or rewarded according to how good they are. Some think they should make things right in their lives before they try to come to God. Others find it hard to understand how Jesus could love them when other people don't seem to. But I have great news for you! God DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And there's nothing you can do to make Him stop! Yes, our sins demand punishment - the punishment of death and separation from God. But, because of His great love, God sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins.
 
GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION

• To become a Christian a person must first realize that he or she is “lost” – totally estranged from God, separated from God by a sinful nature. Locate a Bible, the history of God’s relationship with humankind, and read from the chapter titled Romans.
   Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

• A person alone cannot reconcile the lost relationship between himself or herself and God. To provide a remedy, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to live the perfect life God demands.
  Romans 6:23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

• Although humanity through sin has separated itself from God, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross bridged that gap.
  Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

• All that God asks is that a man or woman repent of his or her sins, turn from them and accept the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for those sins.
  Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

• God promises in the Bible that anyone who accepts Jesus as Lord shall be saved.
  Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The way we call upon Him is through prayer: Here is a Suggested Prayer. But speak it from your heart.

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe You died and rose from the grave to make me a new creation and to prepare me to dwell in your presence forever. Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free gift of eternal life." I turn from self and sin and trust you to be my Savior and Lord. Help me to be the person that you want me to be. Save me now and save me forever. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer and saving my soul. In Jesus name, Amen.”

If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually.
