LOCKPORT
ALLIANCE CHURCH
In Christ we who are many
form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. - Romans 12:5
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
(Because He died for your sin and rose again, providing forgiveness for sin and victory over death)
1 Peter 3:18 - For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 10:13 - For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Right now, right where you are at, you can receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior by confessing your sins and praying for His forgiveness.
You can form your prayer something like this:
“Dear God, I believe that You are telling me
the truth in Your Word and I agree with it. I confess that I am a
sinner and I need to be rescued – I need a Savior. I believe that
You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on a cross to pay the penalty for
my sin. I believe that He rose from the grave, conquering sin and
death, and now offers me eternal life – a love relationship with You
forever. I want that. So right now Jesus, I turn from my sin in
repentance and I turn to You. Come into my life, forgive my sin,
and give me eternal life. I commit my life to You. Thank You for
becoming my Savior, my Friend, My Lord. I love You. Thank You for
loving me. Guide me now as I follow You. Amen.”
In choosing to follow Jesus you’ve now entered into the most
amazing relationship you’ll ever experience- a relationship with the
Divine- a relationship with the God Who not only purposefully
created you but Who loves you passionately and wants to give you a
life that matters! He wants you to walk through everyday with Him
and to experience both His presence and His activity on your
behalf. His desire is for you to grow closer and deeper with Him.
He wants to lead your life (He authored life- He knows how it works
best)- to guide you in truth so that you won’t be duped into making
choices that are deceptive and destructive. His love for you is
real.
And, just as in any relationship, in order for it to grow and
develop you’ve got to spend time together. That’s how it is with
your new relationship with Jesus. He wants you to spend meaningful
time together each day so that you’ll be able to experience
first-hand what following Him is all about.
Here's how:
1. Listen to God through His Word (the Bible) -- join us in reading through the Bible together
2. Talk to God in prayer. Tell Him what's on your heart.
3. Find a Bible-believing local church (like
Lockport Alliance!) and attend regularly.
