If you don't know Jesus ... (yet)
Knowing Jesus begins with believing that He is our Savior who defeated death. "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). Knowing God also means believing that He died to save us from our sins. "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24). When you believe in Christ's message, you are accepted into His family (John 1:12). John 3:16 has even more good news! The people who know Jesus and believe in Him "should not perish but have eternal life." Knowing Jesus is not based on our works but on placing our faith in Him. Our understanding of Christ is only possible through Jesus' death for our sins. Romans 5:8 teaches, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." This means that it is not by works that we can know Christ, but through the grace that Jesus bought for us with His life. Ephesians 2:8-9 also explains, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." If you believe that Jesus is who He said He is and want to accept His offer to be your Savior, you can pray something like this: "Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and apart from you deserve only judgment. I believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son who came to earth to live the perfect life that I couldn't. He died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. Then He rose again after three days, proving He is true and offering salvation and eternal life to all who put their faith in Him. Please forgive me for my sins and help me live for you. I want to know Jesus personally. Thank you for accepting me and giving me eternal life." If you have put your faith in Jesus today, we would love to help you as you begin your journey. John 3:16
16 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
Romans 10:10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
1 John 4:11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
