God is love. Love prompted Him to redeem us.

God created human beings in His image.

Sin destroys our fellowship with God so we run from His presence (Isa. 59:1,2).

Separated from God we deserve to die eternally.

All have sinned and are under the penalty of death.

Adam brought death, Jesus brings life.

Jesus bore our curse.

Jesus experienced death for us.

Jesus became sin (took its penalty for us).

As we repent, He forgives.

As we confess, He pardons.

Receiving Jesus, we are no longer condemned.

Through grace by faith we are saved.

As we receive Him by faith we become sons of God.

Believing in Him, we receive the gift of eternal life.

salvation is a present experience and gift of God for all who believe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Commonly Asked Question Regarding the Divinity of Christ

     Doesn't the Bible teach that once you come to Jesus you can never lose your salvation? John 10:28 states "and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of mine hand."

      Coming to Jesus, accepting His forgiveness by faith, receiving His grace, we receive the gift of eternal life ( Eph. 2:8, Rom. 3:22-25). Salvation is a free gift. It is not something we earn by our obedience. salvation is by grace through faith. When the Philippians jailer asked,"What must Ido to be saved?" Paul responded, "Beleive in the Lord Jesus Christ"(Acts 16:30,31). Belief is a function of the will. The same mind which chooses to believe can choose to disbeleive and unbelief leads to spiritual death (Heb. 3:12-14). If we do not hold our confidence in God to the end, we will develop a heart of unbelief. "He that endures until the end shall be saved" (Matt. 24:13). We are saved only if we keep in memory what was preached and live the life of faith (1 Cor. 15:1,2). It is always possible to return to the old life of sin, have our names blotted out of The Book of Life and be eternally lost (2 Pet. 2:19-22,Rev. 3:5, 1Cor. 9:27). The word which Paul uses for cast away in 1 Cor. 9:27 is the same word that is used in Jer. 6:30 for those who are burned and ultimately lost. In John. 10:28, when we come to Jesus we receive eternal life. Just as His coming into the heart by faith brings life, our unbelief brings spiritual death. We cannot be unborn, but we can die. Nothing can take us from His hand except our own choice.
