THE ABCs OF SALVATION
To know God and be ready for heaven, follow these steps:

A.  Admit you are a sinner.
“There is no one righteous, not even one … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:10, 23). Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).

B.  Believe in Jesus as your only hope of salvation.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Become a child of God by receiving Christ.
“To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

C.  Confess that Jesus is your Lord.
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

BULLETIN INSERTS

February 14, 2010 by PastorMark.

God has emotions. Unlike us, His emotions never get out of control, and they are always guided by perfect truth and wisdom. As I was reading Deuteronomy, I discovered an “emotional” verse from God’s heart to His people. Feel the intensity of God’s passion as you read this. “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” (5:29). Think of it … God’s emotions are stirred because He wants the absolute best for us! May we answer the cry of God’s heart by willingly offering our love and obedience to Him.
