You can be FOUND through Christ!

HOW?

 Hello friend, if you have clicked to this page then you have an interest in knowing how to have a life change.  However, in order to truly be changed it has to be more than an interest.  You must truly have a desire in your heart to leave a sin lifestyle and follow the example of Christ laid out in the Bible.  It's simple!!

First, you must acknowledge God as the Creator of everything, and accept our humble position in God's creation. "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power: For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." (Revelation 4:11).

You must realize that you have sinned in your life and because of that sin you are separated from God.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;


Because we are sinners, we are all condemned to death. "For the wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23. This includes eternal separation from God.

But God loved each of us so much that He gave His only Son, Jesus, to bear our sin and die in our place. "God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Although we cannot understand how, God said our sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. Jesus became our substitute. You must realize that Jesus loves you so much and wants to have a relationship with you.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

If you understand that you are a sinner, and you believe that Jesus Christ came as the one and only person who can Redeem you of sin, then you understand the plan of salvation. The question is – are you ready to make a decision to spend eternity in Heaven with Christ? John 14:6 says Jesus Christ is the only way to do this. It's as easy as A-B-C.

Admit you have sinned.
1 John 1:8 - If we say that we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in our hearts.

Believe that Jesus Christ died for you.
John 3:16 - For God loved YOU so much that He gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life.

Confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord of YOUR life.
Romans 10:9-10 - If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Prayer                                                                                             (This prayer does not save you but it is the symbol of a true commitment you make within your heart to live your life for Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him that saves you)

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I believe that You died for my sins and rose from the grave. I now turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart to live. I receive You as my personal Savior and now follow You as my Lord. Amen.

If you have made this wonderful decision please contact one of the pastors at Bethabara, we want to rejoice with you.
