Four Essential Truths

Do you want the joy of a personal relationship with God?
 
Do you want to be confident that one day he will welcome you into heaven?
 
Here are four essential truths you kneed to know...

Our Dilemma: We are by nature sinners who stand guilty and condemned before our Creator and Judge. In our thoughts and actions, we have disobeyed His perfect standards. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

Our Inability: We are helpless to save ourselves. Forgiveness is a gift to be received, not a reward that can be earned. "The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

Our Savior: Because of His love for us, God provided salvation, Through His Son, Jesus. He became a member of the human family, lived sinlessly, and died on the cross to pay the penalty for all our sins. "God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

Our Response: Salvation is an individual matter and requires a personal response on the part of anyone who wants to be saved. All who acknowledge their sin and place their trust in Christ are adopted as God's children. "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him form the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
