"For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, who declares
to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who
treads the high places of the earth The Lord God of hosts is His

How to Become A Christian
You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have
a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates
you from God. That one thing is sin.
People tend to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people.
But God says that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and
any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.
"For all have sinned and come short of the
glory of God." Romans 3:23
According to man's rules, people should be punished or rewarded according
to how good they are, and it might be hard for you to understand how
Jesus could love you when other people don't seem to. But I have great
news for you! Jesus DOES love you! More than you can ever imagine! And
there's nothing you can do to make him stop!
Are you thinking that you should make things right in your life before
you come to Jesus? Many people feel that way, but that's not what God
says!
"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
For you to come to God you have to get rid of your sin problem. But
God says that you can't make yourself right with God by being a better
person. God wants to save you JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!
"He saved us, not because of righteous things
we had done, but because of His mercy." Titus 3:5
It's God's grace that allows you to come to Him - not your efforts to
"clean up your life" or work your way to Heaven. You can't earn it.
It's a free gift.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by
works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
For you to come to God, your sin must be paid for. God's gift to you
is His son, Jesus, who paid the debt for you.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Jesus paid the price for your sin and mine by giving His life on Calvary's
cross. God brought Jesus back from the dead and paved the way for you
to have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus.
All that's left for you to do is to accept the gift that Jesus is holding
out for you right now.
"If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is
with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:9-10
God says that if you believe in His son, Jesus, you can live forever
with Him in glory.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but
have eternal life." John 3:16
Are you ready to accept the gift of eternal life that Jesus is offering
you right now? If it is your sincere desire to ask Jesus to come into
your heart as your personal Lord and Savior, then talk to God from your
heart:
Here's a Suggested Prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and
I do not deserve eternal life. But, I believe You died and rose from
the grave to purchase a place in Heaven for me. Jesus, come into my
life, take control of my life, forgive my sins and save me. I am now
placing my trust in You alone for my salvation and I accept your free
gift of eternal life."
If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know.
We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to
grow spiritually.
