KNOW CHRIST & GROW IN CHRIST

The Gospel of Jesus

We are all sinners by nature and choice.  Yet in His mercy, God offers salvation by grace through faith in the sufficient work of Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection. We cannot earn our salvation through our own efforts or make ourselves right with God. Instead, God, through the work of the Holy Spirit, draws us to Himself through the good news of Jesus Christ.​

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and

believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved.” — Romans 10:9

​So, what does it mean to surrender your life to Jesus?

One way to understand this step of faith is through the ABCs of salvation:​

​​A — Admit

Admit that you are a sinner in need of a Savior.

​​Sin separates us from God. By nature, we are unable to overcome our sin or make ourselves right with Him through our own efforts. We must recognize our need for God’s forgiveness and grace.​

B — Believe

Believe that Jesus died and rose again to save you.

Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. Through His resurrection, He conquered sin and death, offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who put their faith in Him.

​C — Confess

Confess that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.​​

Confessing Jesus as Lord means acknowledging who He is and surrendering your life to Him. We openly declare that Jesus is our Savior and trust that we are made right with God by His grace through faith in Him.
