Jesus is Gods own son, born over 2000 years ago to be the Savior of the world, the Sacrificial Lamb. Jesus is God in the flesh, the God Man, perfect in every way, our Lord and Savior. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary and lived a sinless life on earth for 33 years, He died on the cross for our sins (He took our place)and was raised again on the third day, He was seen by many, then descended into Heaven to be with the Father. Jesus is going to come back some day soon to gather all of His people and then to judge all the earth's inhabitants. Jesus loves you and died so that you may live eternally with the Lord in Heaven. Jesus lives inside every Christian.
How To Get Saved "That 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. For it is with the heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

What we believe
About God The one true God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe, and the Savior of all mankind. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, and are one God. One example we like to use to help you understand the Trinity better is the egg, you have three parts to an egg, which are, the shell, the egg whites, and the yoke, three separate parts, yet one whole egg. See: Genesis 1:1,26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Jesus Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and God the Son. He is co-equal with the Father and the Spirit.Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people of all time by dying on the cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory at the right hand of the Father, and will return again to the earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of lords. See: Matthew 1:22; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hewbrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13.
About the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is God, and is co-equal with the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation, and provides the believer with power for living, the understanding of spiritual truth, and guidence in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift(s) when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily. See: 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galations 5:25; Ephesians 5:18, Acts 2:1-4.
About Human Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin" - which caused mankind to fall from innocence and goodness, and brought physical and spiritual death. This attitude seperates people from God, and causes many problems in life. See: Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a, 59:1-2; Romans 3:23.
About Salvation Salvation is God's free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works or religious effort. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty - and be delivered from spiritual death and enslavement by sin. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved!("born again"). Eternal life begins the moment a person by repentance and faith receives Jesus Christ, and we are secure in His salvation and His love for eternity. The evidence of salvation is a life of righteousness and total commitment to the Lord. See: John 1:12-13, 3:1-16, 14:6, 17:1-5; Acts 2:37-38; Romans 6:23, 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:1-9; Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Prayer For Salvation
Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I receive you as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen.
If you just prayed that prayer and really meant it, Jesus Christ has now taken residence in your heart! Not only that, but he has forgiven you of all your sin. The Bible tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). God also promises, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us" (Psalms 103:12).
Your decision to receive Christ also means that you are now going to Heaven one day. That's a lot to be thankful for! You need to take some practical steps to grow strong spiritually: read the Bible, pray, and go to church.
