Are You Seeking to Know God?
God's Word explains, when you are seeking Him whole heartedly, you will find him. Ask the LORD to speak to you and reveal himself to you as you open up the Bible and read.
Jeremiah 29: 13-14a "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you," declares the Lord..."

Understanding Our Sin
In God's great love for us He has given us His Son, Jesus to be the Savior of our sins. There is a humility required in coming before God and admitting of one's sin before Him, This is recognizing God is good and Holy, and his ways are right, and our ways are not.
Romans 3: 23-26 "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard."
1 John 3: 4 "Everyone who sins is breaking God's law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God."

Choosing Repentance in Response to God's Love in Giving Jesus
In believing Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins, then repenting of going our own way, and turning to follow Him; we are given eternal life.
Jesus, speaking to his disciples before he ascended into heaven explained this in
Luke 24: 45-48 "Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
Acts 3:19 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord."

Accepting and Believing in God's Forgiveness
John 3: 16-20 "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. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
Whoever believes in him has eternal life!
Whoever believes in him has eternal life!
Claiming Jesus One's Savior
Romans 8: 9,10 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are or what we have done.
