The Word of God is life! We believe that every word of the Bible is true and that everything we need for life is found in it. The deepening relationship we desire to have with our Lord is found there too. So, how can Scripture become more alive to us so that we can fall more in love with the Word of God? Let’s start that conversation!

There are many verses in the book of Romans that will help point a person to salvation:

*We are all sinners ( Romans 3:10,23)

*The wages of our sin is death (Romans 6:23)

*Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross ( Romans 5:8)

*Salvation comes by faith, that is, by confessing with our mouths and believing in our hearts (Romans 10:9,10)

*Call on the Lord for salvation and get saved ( Romans 10:13)

A sample prayer to ask Jesus into your heart:

God, I have not always lived my life in a way that is pleasing to you. I have made wrong choices and followed paths that took me into sin. I acknowledge that and I repent and ask you to forgive me and I choose to follow a new path that You show me.

I am choosing You, Jesus, and asking you to come into my heart. I am grateful that your sacrifice on the cross was payment for my sin, and resurrection is the way for my eternal life. I want that abundant, eternal life. I want Your Holy Spirit to come into my life to help me overcome temptations and to guide me in how to live for You.

I trust that Your plans for me are good. Help me to trust You more, even as I come to know You better. Give me a deep hunger for Your Word and for relationship with You. I thank you that I am now a new creature with a new beginning.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
