You are in: Spiritual Life » Relationship With Christ
We believe that all people are created to enjoy a relationship with God. However, sin causes a separation in that realtionship. God, in His love for us, sent His Son Jesus to pay the penalty for our sin and to restore our relationship with Him. All we have to do is accept what Christ has done.
Below is a simple 3 Step process for accepting God's provision of salvation.
Admit your need
"For all have sineed and fall short of the glory of God.(Romans 3:23)
Believe in Christ
"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31)
Commit yourself to Christ
"Yet to all who recevied Him... He gave the right to become children of God." (John 1:12)
This simple prayer may help you to express your decision to accept salvation and your commitment to following Christ.
Lord Jesus, I want to thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to live a life that is free from sin and that is pleasing to you. Help me to obey you and follow you so that I may enjoy a great life here on earth and an awesome life with you in heaven. Amen
