More important
than anything else is the issue of ETERNAL LIFE. Everyone
will live eternally, the question is where. Heaven is real,
Hell is real. All the pleasures of this life-- a short
season--cannot compare with forever in Hell. The Bible
promises eternal life in Heaven to anyone who finds and
follows Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus died on the
cross and paid the penalty for your sins. If you choose to
follow Christ, eternal life in Heaven becomes yours as a
free gift. You cannot earn it, it is a gift. It is yours to
receive or reject. What is your choice today? Will you
accept God's free gift to cleanse you of all your sins and
to come into your life?

We need to
realize that nothing we can do apart from Christ can make us
good enough and righteous enough to be accepted by a holy
God. We are born sinners and our lives when governed by
ourselves have proven to be vain and a mess. It does not
matter that a person goes to church, that he or she lives a
good life, or lives a religious life as taught by a parent
or other person. What matters is a one-on-one personal
relationship with God through Jesus Christ. (John 14:6 Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me.) A church can not
save you, a pastor can not save you but, Christ, the living
Son of God is the only way to salvation from sin and death.
Imagine being able to go directly to the God that created
the world with a word. He can be your closest friend, He
cares about your problems. When you accept Christ as savior,
you can go to God the Father totally blameless and washed by
the blood of Jesus.
Receiving
Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and
trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins
and to make us the kind of people He wants us to be. Just to
agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and
that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. (James
2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe, and tremble.) Nor is it enough to
have an emotional experience. We receive Christ as an act of
will.


God knows your
heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with
the attitude of your heart. Pray this prayer right now, and
Christ will come into your life, just as He promised.
"Dear Jesus, I believe that you are the Son
of God. I believe that you came to this earth as a man,
lived a perfect life on this earth, and died as a sacrifice
for my sins. Jesus, I believe that You rose from the dead
and are now alive in heaven. I confess that I am a sinner by
nature, and nothing I could ever do on my own would be good
enough to make be righteous, or grant me acceptance with
God. I ask you to forgive me of my sins, I accept you now as
my savior. I will now forsake my old life and let you live
Your life in me. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, change me
and heal my life, and make me a new creation.
I thank you Lord for your free gift and your
love. Amen"

It is
important that you read the Bible every day as much as
possible. If you've never read the Bible before, don't get
overwhelmed, look for the book of John--it's a good place to
start. This is where you will build up your faith and learn
more about your new life and the God that loves you beyond
measure. Pray to God often, He hears you now, you are one of
His own and He wants to bless you. All you have to do is
ask. If you are in a tight spot and need a mighty move of
God, feel free to
e-mail us and we will pray with you for your needs. Ask
Him to reveal Himself and His great love to you. Before
long, you will be on speaking/hearing terms with Him. Find a
good Christ-centered Church that will teach you the Word of
Life. Make sure they believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ as
you have just read. You will know them by their fruit. Are
they seeing others turn from sin and accepting Christ as
Savior? Are they walking in love? Are they preaching
directly from the Bible? These are all good things to look
for in a church. Keep seeking God face to face and He will
guide your paths in His ways.
We love you very much! Welcome to God's Family!
