Do you know Jesus?

Salvation cannot be achieved by merely good deeds

"He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

We have to admit that we are all sinners

"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

"We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way." Isaiah 53:6

We have to believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." Peter 3:18

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were all sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

We must accept Gods gracious gift of salvation and turn our lives over to Jesus Christ

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8-9

We must welcome and receive Jesus Christ

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God." John 1:12

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20

Jesus died for you. You can be saved by asking Him for forgiveness from your sins. If you are willing to repent of your sin, He is waiting to forgive you. It doesn't matter what you have done in the past, if you cry out to Jesus for forgiveness, He will not reject you. The word "repent" literally means "to turn away from." You need to look at your life, admit that you are a sinner, genuinely desire to turn your back on that sin, and ask Him to forgive you. If you do this, He promises to forgive you.

True Christianity is not about attending a particular church, or how your parents raised you, or what country you were born in. Being a Christian means that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that He is your Savior. It's not good enough that your priest, pastor, mother, or aunt knows Jesus, you must know Him for yourself. They cannot believe in Him for you, you must believe for yourself. They cannot repent for you, you must repent for yourself.

Jesus is everywhere all the time. He can hear you now if you ask Him for forgiveness. Please turn your life over to Him NOW. Time slips by so quickly, don't miss this opportunity. If you want to pray and ask Jesus to be your Savior, you can say a prayer something like this:

"Jesus, I know that I have sinned against you. I know the truth is that I have sinned by my own choice, and I am the one responsible for it. I know that I have earned punishment from You, and that the fair punishment would be death. Jesus, I believe that You died in my place. Forgive me for my sin. I cannot cover or take my sin away, I am relying totally and only on You. You are the only one who can save me. I reject my sin, I turn away from it, I repent. Come into my life, take away my sin, and show me how to live my life in a way that is right and pleasing to You."

If you have prayed this from your heart, YOU ARE SAVED! You are now completely forgiven, a new creation, innocent in the eyes of God. Welcome to the family of God!

It is important for you to start to grow in your relationship with Jesus. Just like any relationship, you need to spend time with someone if you want to know them well. The way to know God is through the Bible. If you don't have one and would like one please let us know. Fellowship is also an important part of our relationship with God.
