Know Jesus
Walk through the gospel one step at a time: God · Sin · Christ · Faith · New life.
You are not an accident. The God of the Bible made you, knows you, and desires a relationship with you.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
Everyone has sinned—fallen short of God’s holiness. Sin is not only “bad deeds”; it is a broken relationship that we cannot repair by self-improvement.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Jesus is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead. He alone bridges the gap.
“Jesus said… ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
You cannot earn God’s favor. Eternal life is a gift—received by repenting of sin and trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works…” Ephesians 2:8–9
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
If the Holy Spirit is drawing you, you can respond now. Prayer is not a magic formula—it is honest faith expressed to God.
“Lord Jesus, I need You. I confess that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. Thank You for dying for me and rising again. I turn from my sin and trust You as my Savior and Lord. Forgive me, make me new, and lead my life. Amen.”
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
