The church name " Christ Abundant Life Ministry" CALM comes from the Bible verse John 10:10b (KJV) where Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” The phrase "Abundant life" refers to life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for spirit, soul and body. It begins with a person's new relationship with God, a new relationship with mankind, and a new motivation. In John 3:3, Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
How can a person be born again (saved)?
First, you must realized you are a sinner and recognized you need a savior.
Romans 3.23 “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Then, you must repent of your sins.
Repentance is an essential element of the gospel. It is a willingness to turn away from your sin and live a life toward Jesus Christ bearing good fruits. It means, a change of heart, a change of mind, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mark 1:15 says, “Repent and believe the Good News”;
Acts 20:21 says, I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
Finally, receive Jesus as your Lord and savior.
To truly receive means to trust and depend on Jesus Christ alone to be the Lord and Savior of
your life for all eternity.
Romans 10.9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved;
Act 16:30-31 He then brought them out and asked, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? They
replied, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-.
