About Salvation
ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?
God's love is revealed in the Bible:
God loves you and wants to make your life full and complete even after this lifetime.
“
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)
We are sinful:
We are all sinners and we all do things that we know are wrong. God is holy and good and by nature we are not.
“
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
”
(Romans 3:23)
Sin has a penalty:
Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes sinners must pay the penalty for their sins if they continue in them.
“
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
”
(Romans 6:23)
Christ has paid our penalty:
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, God's sinless Son paid the penalty for our sins.
“
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
”
(Romans 5:8)
Salvation is a free gift:
Grace is an undeserved favor and it is an offering from God that you could never provide for yourself.
“
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
”
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
Christ is at your heart's door:
Picture Jesus Christ Himself standing at the door of your heart ready to come into your life.
“
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
”
(Revelation 3:20)
You must receive Him:
When you receive Jesus Christ into your heart you become a child of God and can talk to Him any time.
“
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.
”
(John 1:12)
OUR GOAL
Our goal in ministry and life is to point the unsaved toward the love of God. He loves you regardless of where you just came from, what you just said or did or how many times you committed your sin. God loves you. He loves you so much that He wants to make your life and your eternity better than ever. To talk to God you have to talk to His Son Jesus Christ. You can pray a simple prayer. You don't have to clean up first or make yourself presentable, just talk to Him. He really wants to hear from you and you can talk to Him just like you'd talk to a friend.
SIMPLY PRAY
Dear Jesus, I know I don't deserve to be loved or redeemed but I adore You because You said I could come and talk to you like this. I confess to You my sins. They've held me back and weighted me down for too long so I bring them to You and I leave them with You. Come into my life and save me I pray. Cleanse me of my past sins and dwell in my heart. Thank you Jesus for loving me and saving me and giving me new hope. I confess You now in Jesus name. AMEN
CONGRATULATIONS!
What a wonderful step you've taken. Only eternity will know the effect of what has happened in your heart, whether it is salvation (that new relationship with Christ), re-dedication (committing your life anew to Christ) or just the realization that you need to know more about Him and why He loves you! It is similar to the fresh new steps of a young child who walks knowing that he grows with each effort. This a great opportunity to share your experience with others who can encourage you and join your effort to grow. Inner Circle would love to share your thoughts, pray for you or even assist in finding Christians who live in your area and will be excited about your decision. Please feel free to complete the simple information below. Your information will remain confidential and you will only be contacted if you desire.
Whether you choose to contact Inner Circle or not, we encourage you to tell another Christian so that they may rejoice with you.
Thank you and God Bless You,
Inner Circle
