What CHRISTchurch believes:

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that the only way to have a relationship with the Father and have eternal life is through Jesus. Our mission is to be an expression of the rule and reign of Christ, sharing His Gospel with this world.

1. God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

God's love - "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" (John 3:16)
"I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." (John 10:10)

Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because;

2.
Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

Man is sinful: "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)

Man is separated : "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)

3.
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

He died in our place : "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)

He rose from the dead : "Christ died for our sins-He was buried-He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures- He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than 500..." (I Cor. 15:3-6)

He is the only way to God : "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)

4. We must individually receive Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

We must receive Christ : "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." (John 1:12)

We receive Christ through faith : "By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8,9)

5. How to Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

6. God's Assurance: His Word

If you prayed this prayer,

The Bible says...

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He right now? What has He given you?

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)

Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called regeneration, or the "new birth."

This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:
* Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better.
* Talk to God in prayer every day.
* Tell others about Christ.
* Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.
*
As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.

If you just prayed this prayer, please contact us and let us know. Contacting us is not a commitment for Christ Church membership. We would simply like to help you get started with your newfound faith.
