Invite Him into your life today by following and believing the Gospel message below
The Good News Gospel of Jesus Christ
1
In the Beginning
1. In the beginning God who created the heavens, the earth, the moon and stars also formed man in His image who became a living being. God planted a garden in Eden, and there He put the man (Adam). Man walked with God and had a relationship with Him.
2. Adam disobeyed God’s commands as a result, sin entered into creation. This sin separates us from God’s presence and God’s love. God’s Word tells us “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned’. We are born with a sinful nature. This is why there is so much chaos, suffering and injustice in the world. Things like murder, adultery, lying, stealing and more are the norm.
3. The Good News - While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God’s sinless Son came to earth, died for our sins was buried and was raised on the 3rd day and is coming back to judge the living and the dead.
4. We are told to repent and believe the Gospel message and we will receive salvation the forgiveness of sins and receive the gift of everlasting life.

Ready to Start a New Life Christ
Place your faith in Jesus Christ and in the saving work of the cross. Repent and be saved from your sins
- Father God I come to you as a sinner. I know I have sinned against you. I now choose to repent (turn away) from my old life. As an example this may be a lifestyle of unforgiveness, hatred, anger, lying, stealing etc.
- Confess those sins to be released from them. Say out loud if possible and mean it from your heart. Choose not to do them anymore.
- I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, who died for my sins on the cross, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day and is coming back as judge. "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10.9
- Thank you Jesus for saving me from my sins and my old lifestyle. Thank you for a new life.
- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
- Now believe the Holy Spirit lives in you, see number 3.
If you have been involved in any type of occult activity and darkness. Just stop and repent of those things and practices and renounce them. Meaning to openly declare one's abandonment of such practices.
We can all be deceived when looking for acceptance, belonging and love in all the wrong places. God knows we did these things in ignorance. He is wating to forgive us all our sins and to bring His peace into our life through Jesus Christ His son.
In Acts 19.9 its says this: Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Deuteronomy 18.9 tell us that those practices are an abomonation to the Lord.
9 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.
Repent of these things and carry on with the rest of the repentance steps
