Who Is Jesus?

You were created by God, loved by God, and invited to know Him.

Christianity is not simply about becoming more religious or trying harder to be a good person. At its heart is Jesus Christ—and the good news of what He has done for us.

God Loves You

“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.”
John 3:16 (KJV)

God’s desire is not that you merely know facts about Him, but that you know Him.

Why Do We Need Salvation?

The Bible teaches that every one of us has sinned. Sin separates us from a holy God, and none of us can earn our way back to Him through good works.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23 (KJV)

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus Made the Way

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world, lived without sin, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead. Salvation is possible because of what Jesus accomplished—not because we can make ourselves worthy.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 (KJV)

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6 (KJV)

How Can I Be Saved?

The Bible calls us to repent and believe the Gospel—to turn to God and place our faith in Jesus Christ.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Acts 16:31 (KJV)

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 (KJV)

You do not need perfect words. You can speak to God honestly: acknowledge your sin, turn to Him, confess Jesus as Lord, and place your trust in His death and resurrection.

What Comes Next?

Following Jesus is the beginning of a new life, not the end of a moment. Begin reading Scripture, pray and talk with God, seek baptism, and connect with a faithful Bible-believing local church where you can grow alongside other believers.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Start Reading

If you are new to the Bible, the Gospel of John is a wonderful place to begin. Read it slowly and ask a simple question as you go: What does this teach me about Jesus?

You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin seeking God. Open His Word. Ask questions. Seek the truth.
