4 MAN’S RESPONSE Just knowing these truths is not enough. We need to respond personally to God’s offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. How? Click here to continue.

God’s Word says that salvation is a gift of God and not a result of human works. Not by religion or by sincerity or by obeying laws – it is available only by God’s grace. It is something we do not deserve and cannot earn. It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the giftof God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

Today I am putting my trust in you as my Lord and Savior and I receive you into my heart. Thank you for forgiving my sins and coming into my life. I accept your free gift of eternal life. Thank you that one day I will be with you in heaven. From this day on, I will follow and obey you. Amen. Click here to continue.
