Hope has a name.
Jesus Christ.
You can know God’s forgiveness and the assurance of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
God loves you
God created you and loves you. His love is seen most clearly in Jesus Christ, whom He gave so that you might have everlasting life.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”John 3:16 · KJV
Sin separates us from God
We have all sinned. Sin is more than a mistake; it is falling short of God’s holy standard. We cannot remove our guilt by trying harder, being religious, or comparing ourselves with others.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”Romans 3:23 · KJV
Jesus died and rose again for you
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, shed His blood and died for our sins. He was buried and rose bodily from the dead. He alone provides forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · KJV
Salvation is a gift, received by faith
You cannot earn salvation through good works, church membership, or baptism. Turn to Jesus Christ and trust Him personally as your Saviour. Salvation is by God’s grace through faith in Christ.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”Ephesians 2:8–9 · KJV
Call upon the Lord
You can come to Christ now. Acknowledge your sin and place your trust in His saving work. Speak to Him honestly in prayer. The words of a prayer do not save you; the Saviour you trust does.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”Romans 10:13 · KJV
Begin your walk with Christ
If you have trusted Christ, we would love to help you grow. Begin reading the Bible and praying, gather with a Bible-believing church, and learn about believer’s baptism and discipleship. Baptism follows salvation as an act of obedience; it does not earn salvation.
Acts 2:41–42; Ephesians 2:8–10We’d love to talk with you.
