For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
He created each of us by hand, and each one of us is unique. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, so we feel compelled to do the same. All of this wonderful diversity means we hold a variety of views. At Women of Faith we focus on what unites us. We choose to love and to offer grace to one another.
We are here to laugh with you, cry with you, and walk beside you on your faith journey. By having a relationship with God, we choose to encourage you to deepen your spiritual walk with Him. If you are in a different place right now, we choose to introduce you to a community who loves you more than you know.
The bottom line is this:
God loves us. All of us. And He chooses for us all to love one another.
God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life.
The BIBLE says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Being at peace with God is not automatic, because by nature you are separated from God.
The BIBLE says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
God’s love bridges the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins.
The BIBLE says: “He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24).
You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by personal invitation.
The BIBLE says: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s standards.
Romans 3:23
The just punishment for our sin is eternal separation from God in hell
Romans 6:23
There’s no way we can ever earn our way into heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9
Jesus, the Son of God, lived a sinless human life among us.
Hebrews 4:14-15
He died on the cross then rose again, defeating sin forever.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Because of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice, we can be reconciled with God and spend eternity with Him in heaven
John 14:6, Galatians 3:26, John 3:16
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it.
Romans 10:9-10
1. ADMIT your spiritual need and that you’re a sinner in need of a Savior “I am a sinner.”
2. REPENT and be willing to turn from your sin.
3. BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose again.
4. RECEIVE, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.
5. Commit to live the rest of your life for Him.
Christ Jesus says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in” (Revelation 3:20).
The BIBLE says, “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved”. (Romans 10:13).
There are no magical words to pray—it’s more about the condition of your heart.
Some important components can be remembered with ABC:
Admit that you’re a sinner in need of a Savior
Believe that Jesus died for you and rose again
Commit to live the rest of your life for Him
AN EXAMPLE OF THE PRAYER OF SALVATION:
“Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness and please forgive me of all my sins. Make me brand new. I believe Jesus died for me and rose again so I could live for you. I desire to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life.
Fill me with your Spirit so I am able to know you, serve you, and follow you the rest of my life, as my Lord and Savior.
My life is not my own—today I give it to you.
Thank you for new life!
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”
You prayed the prayer of salvation, committing your life to Jesus Christ. What does the Bible say happened?
JESUS said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved” (John 10:9).
What did Jesus say about Himself? I am THE WAY (to eternal life).
What will happen when a person enters through the door (receives Jesus Christ)?
The BIBLE says: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
What happened when you received Jesus Christ? I became a child of God.
The BIBLE says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Now that you believe in Jesus Christ, what can you be certain of? I have everlasting life.
It is God's letter to you. He will speak to you through His Word. If you have never read the Bible, consider starting with the book of John, in the Bible.
He wants to hear from you. He wants you to tell Him your hopes, desires, fears and needs. He wants you to invite him into every day. He chooses to have a personal relationship with you.
Begin to meet with other Christians regularly. Join a church that teaches the Bible and believes that people are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
First, ask the Lord to guide you. Identify with a Bible-teaching church for worship, instruction, fellowship, and service. Look for a church where the people love Jesus Christ and serve Him as Lord, and where the doctrine, teaching, and practice of that church are in accordance with the Word of God. The Bible, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, serves as the final authority and source concerning truth, morality and proper conduct.
It does mean, however, that you are no longer a slave to sin (Romans 6). Now, by the power of God in you through the Holy Spirit, you are able to say no to sin and yes to God’s ways. God will not allow you to be tempted to sin beyond what you can handle and He will provide a way of escape when you are tempted (1 Corinthians 10:13). When you do sin, here are steps to take to get back on God's path:
The invitation from Christ to be forgiven and adopted as a child of God is open to everyone in the world. God wants no one to die separated from Him because of sin. People who do not receive Jesus Christ as Savior will not be saved from the penalty of their sins. (Matthew 28:18-20)
We hope you will choose to know God better through His Son Jesus Christ, and it is your decision to accept him into your heart. We will continue to love and pray for you.
