We believe the Bible is God’s
inerrant Word to mankind. Therefore, we hold that He loves each
person unconditionally and desires to spend eternity with us.
The Bible teaches clearly on how we might experience His plan
for salvation as follows:
Is there a way to heaven?
The highway to heaven does exist. : The “Roman
Road” is explained in the Book of Romans in the Bible. It
explains how a person can be sure he has a place in heaven to
live with God forever.
The “road” begins at Romans 1:16: “For I am
not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for
salvation to everyone who believes.” God is the source for
our journey to heaven. He gives power for salvation to all who
believe.
Am I good enough to get there?
We need God’s power because we have a problem with sin. “For
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans
3:23). “Sin” means missing the mark, or missing God’s intended
destination for us. None of us can reach that destination on his
or her own because everyone is a sinner. Even good people cannot
achieve the perfection that a Holy God requires.
When we work, we earn money. Sin earns wages as
well – wages of death. Because God loves all people, He has
provided a way for us to escape that death: “For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Do I agree with God?
The highway to heaven is found in Romans 10:9: “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.” We need to confess our sin and ask God for
forgiveness. To confess Jesus as Lord involves agreeing with God
about your sin and your need for salvation. You must make a
choice to turn away from sinful patterns in your life. To
“believe in your heart” is to place your faith in Jesus,
trusting that He died on the cross to pay for your sins, that He
loves you and has a plan for your life. “But God proves His
own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died
for us” (Romans 5:8).
Can I change my destiny?
If you would like to have salvation in Jesus
Christ, sincerely say a prayer something like this: “Dear God, I
confess to You my sin and need for salvation. I turn away from
my sin and place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Amen.”
Share your decision
to put your faith in Jesus with a Christian friend or pastor.
Becoming a Christian is your first step on the lifelong road of
spiritual growth and service God desires for you. Follow Christ
in believer’s baptism and join a local church that teaches God’s
Word, the Bible.
Is real peace achievable?
Being a Christian
doesn’t mean all your problems will vanish, but it does mean you
can lean on a Loving God in the midst of problems! You will soon
discover that life for a Christian takes on a deep sense of
purpose and peace that doesn’t even make sense!
If you made a
decision to receive Christ today, welcome to the family of God!
