Believing in Christ means trusting Jesus as your Savior
- We all have sinned and need forgiveness (Romans 3:23).
- Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for our sins (Romans 5:8).
- By believing in Him, we receive the free gift of eternal life (John 3:16).
This isn’t just belief in your head — it’s trust in your heart that Jesus is who He says He is and has done what He said He would do.
It means receiving new life through the Holy Spirit
- When you believe, God places His Spirit in you (Ephesians 1:13).
- The Holy Spirit gives you power to live differently — to grow in love, joy, peace, and purpose.
- You now have a personal relationship with God — not just religion.
It means surrendering your life to follow Him
- When you believe, you turn from your old way of living and follow Jesus as Lord (Luke 9:23).
- He becomes the center of your life — your guide, your strength, your hope.
- This doesn’t mean you’ll be perfect, but it does mean your heart belongs to Him.
It means becoming part of God’s family
- When you believe in Jesus, you are adopted as a child of God (John 1:12).
- You belong to a family of believers all over the world — the body of Christ.
- You are never alone; God walks with you every step of the way.
- “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession…” — 1 Peter 2:9
