HOW CAN I KNOW JESUS?
Maybe you've heard the verse John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." It's probably the most well-known verse in the Bible because it shares so clearly what we call "The Gospel" - the GOOD NEWS of God's love for us.
Simply stated, to “believe in him” means to personally entrust yourself to Jesus as Savior, embracing his death on the cross as full payment for your sins, restoring you to a right relationship with God. You see, no good deed could possibly close the gap caused by our sin, but through his grace we can personally receive his gift of forgiveness and begin a new life in Jesus. And here's where the news gets really good: Jesus defeated death when he came back to life! That's why he can offer you eternal life when you place your trust in him!
Here are a few simple steps you can take to begin your journey of faith in Jesus:
ADMIT that you desperately need a Savior from sin: that you've fallen short of God's perfection.
BELIEVE Jesus is who the Bible says he is - God in the flesh - the Son of the Father who died for you.
CONFESS that you are now placing your trust in Jesus to save your soul and transform your life: that you're surrendering your life to his care and control in light of your new relationship connected to Jesus.
THEN WHAT? We encourage you to get connected with a Bible-centered, Jesus-worshiping local church so you can grow on your journey with him: This step is really important so you can continually draw closer to God. Faith Fellowship would be thrilled to have you as part of our community!
