Know God
God loves you, and He wants you to know Him.
Salvation is about more than what happens after we die. It's the start of a full and meaningful life with God, right now. Here's the good news, plainly told.
“For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16
A journey through Romans
Five verses from one letter tell the whole story.
1. We have all sinned.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
2. Sin leads to death, but God offers a gift.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
3. Jesus died for us.
“But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
4. Trust Him and be saved.
“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.”
Romans 10:9
5. You are free.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:1
What does following Jesus look like?
When we follow Jesus, we admit our own ways don't work. We stop going through life alone and surrender control to Him. From that moment on, we are never alone. Jesus becomes the friend who will never leave us, gives us His Spirit to guide us, and brings us to God, who loves and cares for us.
