For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

How to Know God
God Wants a Relationship with You!
Did you know that God loves you and has a plan and a purpose for your life? It breaks His heart that we are separated from Him by our sin (Isaiah 59:2) and condemned to death and judgment apart from Him (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15). But in His great love and mercy, God did for us what we could not do for ourselves: He sent His Son, Jesus, to save us—to pay the debt owed for our sins so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life with Him in heaven (John 3:16).
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 –
How to Be Saved
Receive God's Gift of Salvation
We believe that anyone who confesses that Jesus is Lord and believes in Him will be saved (Romans 10:9). All you need to do in order to be saved is:
1. Admit You're a Sinner
Start by admitting that, in God's eyes, you're a sinner.
2. Believe in Jesus
Believe that when Jesus died, His sacrifice was for you; to spare you from an eternity of judgment, and to give you a new life starting right now.
3. Repent of Your Sins
Ask God to forgive you of your sins, and make a commitment to turn from them.
4. Receive Jesus into Your Life
Pray to receive Jesus, and follow Him as Lord of your life; living His way, doing His will, and enjoying His presence forever. The following is a suggested prayer:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I ask your forgiveness. I believe that You lived, died, and rose again so that I could be connected to God. I confess you as my Lord and commit my life to You. I give you my past, present, and future. Take my life and use it. I give it to You. Amen."
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
