Faith And Commitment

Faith

What saving faith is not...

Head knowledge

Just temporary

What saving faith is...

Trusting in Jesus Christ alone for our eternal life.

Acts 16:31 - "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved."

Transition: Does this make sense to you?

Commitment

Would you like to receive God's free gift of eternal life?

Let me clarify what this involves

Admit that you are a sinner in need of God's forgiveness.

Believe that Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rose from the dead to be your Savior.

Commit to turn from your sin (repent) and follow Jesus as Lord.

If this is really what you want to do, I can lead us in prayer and we can tell God what you just told me. I'll first pray for you then I will lead you in a prayer.

John 6:47 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes (in me) has eternal life."

When you prayed just now, would you saw that you have "believed"?

At the beginning of our conversation I asked you a couple of questions. I would like to ask you those again.

John 1:12 - "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God..."

Welcome to God's family!
