8 Essentials to Strengthen Your Faith
When you make a decision to follow Jesus, you are beginning the journey of a lifetime—a discipleship journey. This journey is a lifelong pursuit of becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ, or what we call, a disciple.
God Loves You
God made you and loves you! His love is boundless and unconditional. God is real, and He wants you to personally experience His love and discover His purpose of your life through a relationship with Him.
Sin Separates You
You cannot experience God’s love when you ignore Him. People search everywhere for meaning and fulfilment—but not with God. They don’t trust God and ignore His ways. The Bible calls this sin. Everyone has sinned.
Sin damages your relationships with other people and with God. It keeps us from experiencing the fulfilling life that God intends for us. The result: you are eternally separated from God and the life He planned for you.
Jesus Rescues You
Sin does not stop God from loving you. Because of God’s great love, He became a human being in Jesus Christ and gave His life for you. At the cross, Jesus took your place and paid the penalty of death that you deserve for your sins.
Jesus died, but He rose to life again. Jesus offers you peace with God and a personal relationship with Him. Through faith in Jesus, you can experience God’s love daily, discover your purpose and have eternal life after death.
Will You Trust Jesus?
You can place your trust in Jesus by faith through prayer.
Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not concerned with your words as much as He is with the attitude of your heart. Here’s a suggested prayer:
Dear God, thank you for loving me and wanting the best for my life. I have lived my life for myself and done things my way, and I am truly sorry.
Jesus, I believe that you are God and have forgiven all my sins by dying and coming back to life again for me. I trust You and ask You to be Lord of my life. I surrender my life to You. You are my God, my Savior and my Lord. Let me experience Your love and Your good plans for my life!. Amen.
