Make a Decision to Follow Jesus

Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, & hearing through the Word of Christ.”
 

Understanding the Message of the Gospel

Maybe you’ve stumbled across new information on this website. Or maybe you’ve attended church all your life, but something you read struck you differently than ever before. If you have never accepted Christ but would like to, read on to discover how you can become a Christian.
 
Your heart tends to run from God and rebel against Him. The Bible calls this “sin.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  
 
Yet God loves you and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope. John 10:10 says, “I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance.”
 
To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!”
 
You receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you are saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.”
 

Faith is a decision of your heart demonstrated by the actions of your life. Romans 10:9 says, “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.”

 
If you trust that Jesus died for your sins and want to receive new life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this to express your repentance and faith in Him: “Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins. I now accept Your offer of eternal life. Thank You for forgiving me of all my sin. Thank You for my new life. From this day forward, I will choose to follow You.”
 
If you have trusted Jesus for salvation, please share your decision with us! If you are not already attending church, come join us on Sunday or Wednesday so you can worship and grow in your faith. Following Christ’s example, ask to be baptized as a public expression of your faith.
