Before We Invite You To Church, We Invite You To Know Christ
Why do I need to be saved?
All humanity is born with sin (Psalm 51:5). Because of this we are all "infected" with sin (Romans 3:23). We also choose to sin because it is the predilection of our nature as unredeemed mankind (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved, eternally condemned to be separated from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.
What am I being saved from?
Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:15).
How did God provide salvation?
Because the just penalty for sin is infinite and eternal, only God could pay the penalty, because only He is infinite and eternal. But God, in His divine nature, could not die. So God became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ. God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us. When the people rejected Him and His message, and sought to kill Him, He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified (John 10:15). Because Jesus Christ was human, He could die; and because Jesus Christ was God, His death had an eternal and infinite value. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin (1 John 2:2). He took the consequences we deserved. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His death was indeed the perfectly sufficient sacrifice for sin.
What must I do to be saved?
1: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
God has already done all of the work.
All you must do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers (Ephesians 2:8-9).
2: Fully trust in Jesus alone as the payment for your sins.
Believe in Him, and you will not perish (John 3:16).
God is offering you salvation as a gift.
3: Accept Jesus' gift of salvation.
He is the only way to gain salvation in this life and eternally (John 14:6).
