WHO?
The information here is for you! Its sole purpose is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that is nonintrusive, but intentional.
We are commanded as Christians by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20 to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you..." We desire to glorify and exalt our Savior by using this website to spread the Good News. WHAT?
The Good News isn't good news until you know the bad news! The bad news is that you, like everyone else, is a sinner. A sinner is a person who has broken any one of God's laws (ten of them are in Exodus 20:1-17). Every single person has been born into sin and is a sinner (Romans 3:23).
Because God is a just, righteous, and Holy God, He must punish those who have sinned against Him. The only just punishment is spending eternity in a lake of fire known as Hell. However, the Good News is that God has provided a Savior to make amends who will take your sentence upon Himself. It is a gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23) in Heaven with God. This free gift is found only in Christ Jesus (John 14:6). It is yours, but only if you choose to accept it. If you believe what you have just read and you know that God has brought you to this realization, then the next step is accept, believe, and confess (Romans 10:9-10). HOW?
If you now desire a personal relationship with Jesus Christ only two things are required. The first is repentance. This is a change of mind that results in a change of behavior. You must repent of sin and self-righteousness and present yourself humbly before God. The second is complete and absolute faith or trust in Jesus Christ alone for eternal life.
WHAT NEXT?
If you are truly ready for this decision and you are presenting a contrite and sorrowful heart to God for sinning against Him, then pour out your heart to Him. There is no prescribed prayer. Just spend some time with Him and tell Him what you feel.
Now, if you have made a decision to repent and trust in Jesus Christ, you should contact a church that can help guide you through the Bible and let them know about your decision. Then publicly confess your faith by telling others (Romans 10:9-10) and by being baptized (Acts 2:41). Let us know if you have made this important decision today. We would like to help you get started on your lifelong walk with God! WHERE?
