Jesus

Our inability to re-establish our relationship with God leaves us dependent on God's mercy for salvation. God graciously provided the means to reconcile this relationship through faith in Jesus Christ. Our relationship is re-established when we make a commitment to follow Jesus as God's son and our Savior and Lord. Through faith in Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven, and we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and eternal life. Practically speaking, this decision to follow Jesus is demonstrated through both a private and public commitment. We demonstrate our commitment privately by faith (acting upon our belief that God has the power to save us) and repentance (turning back to God and depending on Him to control our lives). At the same time, we publicly express our commitment by confessing our acceptance of God's salvation in baptism.

To learn more about what it means to follow Jesus read: Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, Galatians 3:26-27. Romans 6:23

16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
