To Christ, Be The Glory

Verse to Remember:

In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. - Romans 12:5 (NIV)

A church family identifies you as a genuine believer. I can't claim to be following Christ if I'm not committed to any specific group of disciples. Jesus said,"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples" (John 13:35 NLT).

When we come together in love as a church family from different backgrounds, race, and social status, it is a powerful witness to the world. You are not the Body of Christ on your own. You need others to express that. Together, not separated, we are his Body.

Six Scriptural Steps to Salvation

Acknowledge:
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
"God, have mercy on me, a sinner" - Luke 18:13
Repent:
"...unless you repent, you too will all perish" - Luke 13:3
"Repent, then and turn to God so that your sins many be wiped out..." - Acts 3:19
Confess:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins, and purify us from all unrighteousness" - 1 John 1:9
"...if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9
Forsake:
"Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon." - Isaiah 55:7
Believe:
"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." - John 3:16
"Whoever believes and is baptized will be be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." - Mark 16:15
Receive:
"He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all who received HIm, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God" - John 1:11, 12

Why not make your eternal decision now and pray the following prayer?
"Lord Jesus, I believe You died for my sins. I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I am willing to turn from my way and follow Your way. I receive You now as my personal Saviour and Lord and invite You to manage my life from this day forward. Amen"

The inherent sin of man through the fall, the necessity for repentance and the regeneration by grace and through faith alone, and the eternal separation from God the finally impenitent (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:17; 3:6-24; Romans 7:13-25).

The Virgin Birth, sinless life, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, ascension and abiding intercession of our Jesus Christ, the Son of God became incarnate and dwelt among the people, truly God, truly man (Luke 1:26-38).

The salvation of man - men's only hope of redemption and salvation from the power of sin is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; Romans 5:8-13; James 1:21; Ephesians 2:8).

The Ordinances of the Church - baptism in water by immersion and the Lord's Supper (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4; 1 Cor. 11:26).

The security of the believer as he abides in Christ (John 15:6).

The Baptism with the Holy Spirit for believers with the evidence of speaking in tongues and the availability of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:43; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-13; Acts 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-15; 15:7-9).
