Why You Need A Saviour
We are broken people, unreliable and sinful. The answer is not contained within us, we need outside help. In our desperate state, a Loving God had to intervene. The Bible is clear that all who reach an accountable age have committed sin (Rom 3:23) and our sin breaks our relationship with a holy God. Sin is at the root of all our troubles, (selfishness, greed, lust, anger, etc.) and we need a cure.
And here is the good news which the Bible calls "Gospel." The fullness of my broken relationship with God and the abundant life He intends for me can only be restored through Jesus, who is both our holy God and a man who experienced everything we do (Heb 4:15), even carrying our own sin on the cross (2 Cor 5:21). Jesus was bodily crucified (Luke 23) and bodily resurrected (Luke 24). He did this for each of us, He did this for you; as a substitution of His life so that you could truly have yours. His death conquered sin (2 Cor 5:21). His resurrection conquered death (Heb 2:9-15). And in Him we are liberated from both. Want to be freed from sin?
“Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?” Acts 8:31”
The Christian Life
Now as those united to Jesus, the Christian walk truly begins. And so we devote ourselves to:
Worship
We gather every Lord's Day (Sunday) to honor our God through songs, prayer, the reading and discussion of His Word (1 Tim 4:13; Acts 20:7), weekly sharing of the Lord's Communion Supper (Luke 22:17-20; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 11:23-26), and the giving back of a portion of that which He has given to us (1 Cor 16:1-2; 2 Cor 9:6-11). In keeping with the practices of the early church, our singing is acappella (Eph 5:18-19; Col 3:15-17), and Christian males provide leadership for every form of worship in mixed assemblies (1 Tim 2:8-15; 1 Cor 14:33-35). Our worship assemblies are one of the main ways that we encourage one another toward love and good works (Heb 10:23-25).
Discipleship
Jesus says, "Follow Me" (Matt 4:19). We are simply learning to walk in His footsteps (1 John 2:6). Observation. Imitation.
Fellowship
This is the Bible's way of expressing our sharing in true relationship. When we are in Jesus, each of us become a branch that is connected to all other branches through one "vine" (John 15). We are God's family - brothers and sisters in His household (Gal 4:1-6; Eph 2:19). So as a family of sinners saved by grace, we spend time with each other... especially in Bible study, eating together, serving those in need, bearing one another's burdens, mutual moral accountability, intercessory prayer, and constant encouragement. God created us to live in relationship with one another. "A cord of 3 strands is not quickly torn apart" (Ecc 4:12).
It starts now
Jesus said, I have come to save the Lost. To get to know Jesus, is to experience LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GENTLENESS, COMPASSION, MERCY. And He came and died for YOU!
Let me introduce you to my friend, my Savior, my everything, Jesus Christ.
