The Truth Behind Accepting Jesus Christ Into Your Life.

 Accepting Jesus as one’s Savior is the One and Only way. There is not a dramatic flare that is added to the process. It is a simple transition between shedding the old and emerging with the new.


Some people take advantage of this concept. In their minds, it is more of a “say a few words and I get to go to heaven”. Which we know, as believers, is far from the case. 

God does offer the free gift of salvation, yes!

Simply, too. (Praise God)


However, does He also expect for that individual to be a willing vessel for anything He needs him to do during his time here on Earth? Absolutely, yes!


Faith based salvation. Works based life. Not to be mistaken with saying, “works get you into heaven”, because they certainly do not.


There is no fooling the Creator of the universe. God knows who means what they say, and who doesn’t.


There are MANY individuals who strictly spew words from their mouths, knowing it means absolutely nothing to them. It simply looks “good” to the onlookers.

And, Yes! Our Father knows that.


However, for the few, wonderful individuals who do choose to dedicate their life to God… their prayer of Salvation is heard, and they know it.

It is felt, and as a result… said individual is given the opportunity to have a new life without fear of death.


This leads the believer to the natural next step, which is water baptism.

They know that God changed their life, and have no problem showing the world that change.


Is baptism necessary to be saved? No.

Does God command His children to do it? Yes.


“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139‬:‭14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Salvation Is Not Given Without Its Challenges.

  As Believers, we are required by God’s Word to accept Jesus as our Savior and make God our King. In doing so, one’s Salvation Story is set in motion. After praying for forgiveness of any and all sin that has plagued the believer’s life, they will then ask for remission of such sin; and be held accountable for any action they take in the future, that is against God’s Will. Following this, a public declaration must be made in order to state to those around the sinner that they no longer wish to live by the ways of the world, but by the way of the Lord. God has only provided One Way for the sinner to become His Child, by prayer to salvation paired with water baptism. This will solidify one’s place in the Kingdom of God without fail. Next comes the act of living itself. God never intended for life of the average believer to be simple. Because this is so, He provided His children with a guide for everyday they spend on Earth, the Bible. This is brought to us, in this day and age by wa...

Come Unto Me.

To whom it may concern: Did you know that God cares? He cares whether you live or die. He cares whether you come to Him or not. He understands your pain, whether you believe in Him or not. Do you know how to be saved? “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:10-13 -UoB
