How do I have a relationship with God?
There are big questions that haunt all of us. What happens when I die? Where will I spend eternity? The single most important question that you will ever answer is this: "If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?" Your relationship to Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
The simple truth is God wants you to know where you're going!
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life..."
1 John 5:13
Discover Jesus!
When we follow Jesus, we discover purpose, hope, and joy that extends past our circumstances.
If you have questions, and want to learn more about who Christ is, visit us this Sunday and find the answers! One of our pastors would love the opportunity to sit down and show you in the Bible who Christ is and what he has done for you.
Christ is more than just a man.
Jesus said He was God. He proved it by His life, His words, His deeds, and His perfect love.
Ephesians 2:4–5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
John 3:16
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.
He died for you
Our sin separates us from God, relationally and eternally, and requires the payment of eternal death.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yet, because Jesus died for you, God’s justice is satisfied, and your sin can be forever forgiven. You can be rescued, pardoned, and accepted into God’s grace and love by personally receiving what Jesus did on the cross.
1 Corinthians 15:3–4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
He came to save you
Here’s how Jesus said it.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
An eternal home in Heaven and a personal relationship with God can only be received, never achieved. You can’t save yourself, but you can receive salvation as an unspeakable gift from God Himself. He loves you that much!
He can save you right now!
Knowing you have a relationship with God and a home in Heaven isn’t about being good or religious. It’s about trust—faith. Everyone is trusting something as an “ultimate thing.”
The message of the Bible is that Jesus is the only source of ultimate and eternal hope—forgiveness and pardon from sin, acceptance and adoption into God’s family, and the promise of eternal life in Heaven.
It happens the moment you call out to Jesus and ask Him to be your Saviour. In that moment, He will forgive your sin and give you His gift of eternal life.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
