Jesus Loves You

Since the beginning of time, God’s heart was to be in a relationship with you. That you would know Him personally and know the purposes for your life. Read below on how you can begin and grow in this life changing relationship.

Following Jesus

In Romans 3.23, we read, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3.23)‍

‍It is our sins that separate us from God. It causes us to fear God and to live our lives outside of who He created us to be.‍

The good news that we see in Scripture is that "...God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ‍

‍God the father sent His son Jesus Christ to break the power of sin and death by dying on the cross in our place for our sins. Through this act, we are invited to accept what Jesus has done for us and to place our faith and hope in Him.

1.
Realize that God has not been priority in your life and ask Him to forgive your sins.
‍

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all righteousness." 1 John 1.9

2.
Believe that Jesus died to pay for your sins and that he rose from the dead and is alive today.

"If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved." Romans 10.9-10
‍
"We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are." Romans 3.22

3.
Accept this free gift from God by committing our lives and heart to Jesus.
‍

"For it is by grace you are saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2.8-9"

To all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them. All those who believe this are reborn - not a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan - but from the will of God."John 1.12-13
