The Grace of God!
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not as a result of works so no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8
The Bible tells us that we can establish a right relationship with our Creator through his son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.; who died on the cross for our sins over 2000 years ago.
Jesus Christ, the sinless lamb of God, was born of a virgin through the power of the holy spirit; and it was his mission to die on a cross and shed his blood to make atonement for the sins of all mankind.
Yes. it's true, all we need to establish a right relationship with our Creator and to live in his goodness and grace, for the rest of our lives, is to repent and believe the gospel.
When we realize that we cannot live a life that is pleasing to God, in our own strength and power, we are left with the good news that we can then turn our hope to the one who died on the cross to shed his blood to make atonement for all our sins.
Saved by Grace through Faith!
But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scripture. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. REPENT and BELIEVE the gospel. Mark 1:14-15
Turn to God and BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins!
“The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart” that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:9-13
If you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, pray this prayer and make this confession of faith!
Gracious God and heavenly Father. I humble myself to you and thank you that you sent your son into the world to die on the cross and shed his blood for all my sins. I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and I believe in my heart that he was raised from the dead. I ask you to help me live for you moment by moment, day by day, and help me to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour. In the name of your son Jesus Christ I pray!
Saved by Grace, Live by Grace!
You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
