It's a Relationship
Having a relationship with God means trusting Him with your life. God sent Jesus, His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life with God in Heaven. The Bible says, “But God showed His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). This is good news and it tells us that God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to die in our place even though we deserved death.
So How Do I Begin a Relationship with Jesus?
- Recognize that you are a sinner and that Christ died for you.
- Repent of your sins and turn to God, so that you may be washed clean of your sin.
- Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in…” (Revelation 3:20). If you want Jesus to come into your heart, then simply ask. The sample prayer below may give you some guidance.
“Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe that you came and lived a perfect life and that you died for my sins. I confess you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for coming into my life and saving me. Amen.” If you prayed that prayer and you meant it, then Jesus is now in your heart! Your decision today means that you will have eternal life with the Father. If you made that decision today, please let us know. We would like to connect with you and send you some free information that will help you grow in your faith and be closer with God.
Baptism
What is Baptism?
The Bible clearly teaches that baptism is the first step of obedience after making a commitment to Christ. Baptism allows a believer to communicate to the world their heart-felt commitment to Christ.
Have Questions?
People often have questions regarding baptism: Why should I be baptized? I’ve already been baptized. Do I have to do it again? Does it matter if someone is sprinkled or dunked? You can find out more about baptism and what Scripture says about it by attending one of our Baptism classes. Baptism by immersion is a requirement for membership at Heucks Retreat Baptist Church.
