Know Jesus: The Path to Eternal Life and Salvation
Greetings in the Lord
Welcome to a journey of discovery, hope, and renewal. In a world searching for meaning, the message of Jesus Christ stands as a beacon of hope, offering unconditional love, forgiveness, and the promise of eternal life. At Springfield Baptist Church, we're here to guide you through understanding the profound truth of the Gospel—the life-changing message of Jesus.
God's Love for You
God's love is boundless and unconditional. Scripture tells us, "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). This profound love invites us into a relationship with God, despite our flaws and shortcomings.
The Gospel: The Gracious Gift of God
The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ. God sent His Son to live among us, die on a cross, and rise again, defeating death and sin. This act of ultimate love and sacrifice is freely offered to us, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Why You Need to Know Jesus
Our separation from God, caused by sin, can only be bridged through Jesus Christ. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Knowing Jesus is the key to reconciling with God, finding true peace, and securing eternal life.
What It Means to Know Jesus
To know Jesus is to have a personal relationship with Him, understanding that He is not only our Savior but also our friend and guide. Through Him, we experience the forgiveness of sins and the joy of transformation. "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3).
Accepting Jesus Christ as Your Personal Savior
Accepting Jesus means acknowledging your need for Him, believing in His death and resurrection, and inviting Him to be the Lord of your life. "If you declare 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).
The New Birth: Born Again into Eternal Life
Being 'born again' signifies the beautiful transformation that occurs when we accept Christ. It's a spiritual rebirth, marking the beginning of our new life in Him. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Conclusion
Knowing Jesus is the first step on the most important journey of your life. It's a path filled with love, grace, and truth, leading to eternal life. At Springfield Baptist Church, we're here to support you as you explore, question, and grow in your faith.
