About Salvation
Man’s only hope is through God’s precious gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. God’s gift is free but we must accept it. We can never make up for our “missing the mark” (sin) by self-improvement, living a good life or doing good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty of death. When we turn from our self-ruled life by putting our faith in Jesus, letting God sit in the driver’s seat, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life through faith and continues when we pass from this mortal life into eternal life.
