Begin Your Journey with Christ
What Is Salvation?
The most important decision you can make in life is to say “yes” to Jesus and make Him your Lord and Savior.
What does that really mean? It starts with this: God loves you completely and unconditionally. No matter what your past looks like, He wants a personal relationship with you.
We were created by God to walk closely with Him. But when sin entered the world, that relationship was broken. So God made a way to fix it by coming to us as Jesus. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, and then gave His life for our sins. He didn’t stay dead, however. He rose from the dead, proving He has power over death.
When you believe that Jesus is who He says He is, and you say with your mouth that He is your Lord, and believe that God raised Him from the dead, you’re saved. That means you’re forgiven, your relationship with God is restored, and you’re given the gift of eternal life.
Jesus is inviting you into a new life full of grace, love, and hope.
How to Be Saved
Prayer for Salvation:
Thank you, heavenly father for loving me, thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I believe with my heart that God raised him from the dead for my justification. And I confess that Jesus is lord over my life. I receive righteousness into my spirit. Thank you, Lord, for forgiving my sins.
