God created us to enjoy an intimate, Father-child relationship with Him. But the first man and woman disobeyed Father God and went on their own willful way. We have all been rebelling against God in this way since. The Bible says: Everyone has sinned and is far away from God’s saving presence.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Our efforts to reach God on our own terms have always fallen short of reaching Him. For what it’s worth, we try very hard – with good works, charity and religious rites. But let’s be honest – how can sinful man reach out to a perfect and holy God on his own? The Bible says: It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy and grace.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
Instead, God reached down to us in love through Jesus Christ. He became a man and willingly took on the punishment for our sins by dying a criminal’s death on the cross. On the third day, God raised Jesus from the dead back to life forever. The Bible says: God has shown us how much He loves us – it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus Christ now stands in the gap between us and Father God. Through Him, that Father-child relationship can be restored. On our part, we have to now accept Jesus as our Saviour and our Lord. The Bible says: If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
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.
We believe that all men and women are sinners and can only be justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 2:1-10)
Father God,
I confess I am a sinner, and I need your forgiveness.
I believe you sent Jesus Christ, Your Son to die on the Cross for my sins.
I believe that Jesus was buried and rose on the third day.
I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour.
Thank You for loving me and accepting me as Your child.
Thank you for the gift of eternal life.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
We really believe in the significance of growth in being a follower of Christ. Grow in understanding of scripture and also learn to connect with the Holy Spirit to receive revelations and truly understand God’s heart.
As a follower of Christ, resonate with God’s heart through Scripture, grow to know Him more intimately, love Him more passionately, and willingly surrender to His Lordship.
