Love
God loves you! God's loves me!
God went to extravagant lengths to show His love for each of us by sending His Son, Jesus Christ.
God loves the whole world.

"I" means you and me.
Our relationship with God was broken due to our sin. We have all sinned...doing, saying, thinking things that we shouldn't and not doing, saying, thinking things we should. The Bible says the wages of sin is death...physical death and spiritual separation from God.
But there’s hope!
Faith
Faith means belief and trust.
God's sacrificial gift and provision for our sin is Jesus Christ! Fully God and fully man, Jesus died in our place to pay the penalty for our sin. He was buried and He was raised to life again. Jesus offers forgiveness of sin and eternal life to everyone - to me and to you - as a gift through faith in Him.
Jesus is the only way to God.
Eternal Life
Each of us must individually, as an act of our will, put our faith in Jesus as our Savior and Lord and receive the gift of Eternal Life. This gift of forgiveness of sin and a restored relationship with God, both now and forever, has been purchased by Jesus. There is nothing you can do to earn it or deserve it. It is a gift. He offers it to you!
You can receive the gift of eternal life right now by trusting Jesus by faith through prayer.
It is not the words but the attitude of your heart. Prayer is talking to God. If your desire is to trust Jesus as your Savior, you can pray something like this:
"Lord Jesus, I need You. I am a sinner. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sin. I believe You rose from the dead and ask you to be my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sin and giving me eternal life. I give you my life. Please help me be the kind of person You would want me to be."
If you just prayed to receive Christ, you need to tell somebody!
We would love to hear about your decision, or answer any question you may have!
