SAVLVATION IS FREE

and we want you to have it. All you have to do is ask the Savior to help you and he will comfort heal and keep you in perfect piece ... BUT THE RELATIONSHIP is needed for that comfort. 

Romans 10:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV) says that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved!!! For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  

Salvation .. and Snippet into Being Saved by Jesus Christ!

WHY TRY JESUS?

The journey of faith begins with understanding the good news, or the Gospel, which lies at the heart of the Christian faith. The term “Gospel” translates to “good news,” and to fully understand this message, it’s crucial to acknowledge the challenge humanity faces due to sin. In essence, sin is what separates us from God, originating from the fall in the Garden of Eden when mankind rebelled against God’s way. However, despite this separation, God’s love provided a path of reconciliation through His son, Jesus Christ.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

Sanctification ... Living a life that is Holy and Acceptable

What is Sanctification? 

Sanctification is a translation of the Greek word hagiasmos, meaning “holiness” or “a separation.” In the past, God granted us justification, a once-for-all, positional holiness in Christ. In the present, God guides us to maturity, a practical, progressive holiness. In the future, God will give us glorification, a permanent, ultimate holiness. These three phases of sanctification separate the believer from the penalty of sin (Justification), the power of sin (maturity), and the presence of sin (glorification).
