As we begin our walk in Christ, it is important that we get a complete understanding of salvation. As the scripture below tells us; there is no other way to salvation other than through Jesus Christ. Jesus bore the sins of all of us and through his work on our behalf we can be saved. We have assembled links to several wonderful articles that explain and describe this truly wonderful gift from God.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there     is none other name under heaven given among men,     whereby we must be saved." Act 4:12

WHAT IS SALVATION?

A BURNING QUESTION ON THE MINDS OF EVERY HUMAN BEING IS, WHAT HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I DIE? WILL MY MIND LIVE ON? WILL I SEE MY LOVED ONES? WILL I BE IN HEAVEN OR HELL? IS THERE REALLY LIFE AFTER DEATH?

THERE IS AN ANSWER GREATER THAN THE EXPECTATIONS OF OUR FEELINGS OR THE PHILOSOPHIES OF CENTURIES PAST. THAT ANSWER IS YES! THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH. THE BIBLE SPEAKS CLEARLY OF IT. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT OF THE SPOKEN WORDS OF GOD ARE THAT YOU BELIEVE. BELIEVE IN GOD AND THE SHED BLOOD OF HIS SON JESUS. BUT YOU HAVE A MORE SURE WAY OF KNOWING ALSO.

THERE ARE COUNTLESS EXAMPLES OF SPIRITUAL ASSOCIATIONS THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, MANY OF WHICH MAKE REFERENCE TO DWELLING IN EITHER HEAVEN OR HELL. THE BIBLE IS AS MUCH OF A PART OF OUR HISTORY AS THE EARTH ITSELF. BIBLICAL SCHOLARS HAVE BROUGHT THE MOST RELEVANT PORTIONS OF SCRIPTURE INTO THE LIGHT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE BECAUSE THERE IS A MESSAGE THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE IGNORED.

IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN? DID YOU KNOW THERE IS A WAY FOR YOU TO KNOW FOR SURE?

ANY WELL BUILT STRUCTURE STARTS WITH A FOUNDATION. ANY JOURNEY CONTAINS A VEHICLE AND A PATH. EPHESIANS 2:20b SAYS; .JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE; AND JOHN 14:6 SAYS; JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE: NO ONE COMES UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME.

JESUS CHRIST IS BOTH THE FOUNDATION AND THE VEHICLE TO REACH GOD THE FATHER IN HIS HOME OF GLORY IN HEAVEN. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN BY APPLYING THIS INFORMATION TO OUR LIFE.

  READ ALOUD THESE PASSAGES FOUND IN THE BIBLE: 

THESE THINGS HAVE I WRITTEN UNTO YOU THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD. (1 JOHN 5:13)   FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD; (ROMANS 3:23)   FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. (ROMANS 6:23)   

BUT GOD COMMENDS HIS LOVE TOWARDS US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. (ROMANS 5:8)   

THAT IF YOU WILL CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALL BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD HAS RAISED HIM UP FROM THE DEAD, YOU SHALL BE SAVED. (ROMANS 10:9)   FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED. (ROMANS 10:13)   

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PARISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. 
(JOHN 3:16)   

FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. (JOHN 3:17)
