THESE ARE THE FACTS.
Whether you choose to believe them or not, doesn't change them...
BUT, THE CHOICE IS YOURS ....

We choose to go by rejecting His offer of forgiveness and salvation
which He provided through Jesus sacrifice on our behalf.
God will / must judge sin. Either we accept Jesus payment on our behalf
or we will stand before God's anger at sin and pay for the sins we still carry ourselves.
He has done all He can to save us from His wrath....

There is one, eternal, true, living God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – Who is.

He reveals Himself

to those who

diligently seek Him;

through His Living Word - His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ
through His written Word.
through His creation

all by

the calling, witness and working of

His Spirit

He empowers and develops those that will worship Him in spirit and in truth

True worshippers will live their lives in a way that seeks to bring Him joy;
True worshippers will honor Him in thought, word and deed,
True worshippers will offer themselves to Him, moment by moment, as a living sacrifice,

making

themselves

available to Him to use to work His will in and through them as He

chooses

The Bible, God’s written word - Old and New Testament - was given to us by God through the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit.

It is complete and true.
It is to be taken seriously - studied, understood and applied to our daily lives
It is God’s personal message to us.
It was given to establish us in His truth,

to use to

gage

our lives

and service

to correct us in attitude and conduct, and

to instruct us in righteousness.

God’s Justice and Righteousness demands that sin’s penalty of death be paid in full.

Men and women are all born in a sinful condition
As sinners we are unable to do anything on our own that will make us acceptable to God.

In Jesus, God became a man; the flesh and blood Son of God; born as the scriptures said...

He is ‘God’s Living Word - God in the flesh’.

Born sinless

, as the Son of God

, He lived sinless

is our example of the righteousness that God’s

oliness demands.

He offered Himself freely for us, taking on himself the sentence we earned due to our personal sin. He,
who had no sin, took on Himself our sin and paid our penalty for us.
Three days following His death and burial Jesus rose from the dead just as the scriptures declared.

When Jesus died

and

ose again

did for us what we could not do for ourselves

And,

mad

e it

possible for

anyone

to be given a new life

who will:

personally believe that Jesus is alive, acknowledging His payment for their sin and
publicly acknowledge their belief in Him as their living Lord and Savior.

hey will be

spiritually

‘born again’

; will be

made

new

This new life is available to us only through Christ Jesus.

It places us into a personal right relationship with God satisfying God's justice without compromising or
violating God’s character, righteousness, or perfection.

There is no

other way for any

of us

to have a right relationship with

our holy

God

Those who believe - place their trust and faith in Jesus - will be made new, given a new start and new purpose
in life. We will be changed. In Christ we become new creatures. As a result:

We will live a life of gratitude and praise seeking to please Him,

ot because

must but because

want to please Him.

No longer a slave to

we can finally say no to sin and temptation

Christ likeness and obedience to Him becomes

our

priority and our

goal

in life.

Love will drive us - God's love for us and our love for God.
The Holy Spirit who indwells us will empower us.

He will teach

He will

reveal God’s will and plan for

and

will guide

deeper and deeper into God’s truth establishing a closer and

closer

relationship

to Him as

grow

and mature

in the new life

now have in Christ.

Jesus is our Living Lord interceding with God on behalf of all those who:

believe in Him,
have put their trust and faith in Him, and
who confess Him as their Lord.

He forgives,

cleanses, and

finish

ing

the work He has begun in those

who are His.

Those who ignore Him or choose to reject Jesus as their Living Lord, those who refuse to acknowledge His
death as the payment for their sin, will ultimately stand before God still carrying their own guilt, shame and
sinfulness.

As a result of their own choice to reject God's offer they will be hopelessly and eternally lost.

The price of Sin is death

and it will be pai

Either Jesus pays your debt

you pay it yourself.

The Lord Jesus will return – unannounced - this time to execute God's wrath on those who have not accepted
His offer of salvation.

Think a minute, What are we being saved from ??? ---

We are saved from God's

rath

by God

so we can be reconciled to God

and enjoy friendship with God

we live for God.

But don't delay,

sus

coming back

–

and

oon

In the meantime, until He returns, He calls us to:

represent Him to the world through our character, speech and conduct
to be His ambassadors to the world working to reconcile men, women and children to Him
to be a light in a dark place drawing others to Him
to lift Him up
to bind and loose as He directs, restraining evil by standing up for righteousness..

God, thank you for your free gift of eternal life.
I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness.
I am sorry for my sins, and I ask You to forgive me.

Jesus, I believe You died on the cross
for my sins and that you rose again from the dead.

I now open myself to you completely
and I invite your Holy Spirit to come into my life.

I realize there is nothing I can do to earn my salvation.
I place my complete trust in You alone for eternal life.

I choose to follow and serve You as my Lord.

Father, please, make me the person
You want me to be.

Come and join us at Bethel. Learn and grow with us.
Tell us about your decision.

MAKE JESUS YOUR LORD !!

Decide for yourself and tell God...

the mandatory, unchangeable, no compromise, essentials
