What We Believe
The following scriptures summarize that process while explaining our soul's condition in God's eyes. Please find a Bible or use a Bible app to follow along for yourself in the Bible.
According to tis scripture there is no person on earth that is right in the sight of God. Whatever our own personal efforts may be we cannot achieve righteousness in the eyes of God. Sin crept into the lives of all mankind and pretty much just took up residence in our hearts. But hold on, it sounds pretty bad but remember, this is called the good news.
Once again the scriptures affirm the futility of us trying to be right in God’s eyes by our own power. Once sin entered into the life of man we were made slaves to sin. We needed someone or something to change that part of our lives. So here comes the good news.
God knows that sin will keep us from him. God is holy and he cannot associate himself with any sin. That is how sin separates us from God. God’s plan is that we are all able to approach him and benefit from His grace and mercy. So he offered his son as a sin sacrifice for us to pay our sin debt. What’s a sin debt?
God will eventually destroy all that is sin in the world. Just like he did when he flooded the earth in Noah’s time, he will again cleanse the earth and reset things finally with righteousness and holiness. This is where God’s grace comes in with full force.
That is the most awesome news. despite our sinful nature we can have eternal life and be made right in the sight of God. The formula is as simple as 1 – 2 – 3. If you understand that you are a sinner and believe that Jesus Christ died and rose to pay the price for that sin, you can be made right and complete in God’s eyes.
Can you believe in Jesus today? Can you make him the Lord of your life? If so, all you need to do is pray this simple prayer and receive Jesus into your heart today.

How Can I Get Salvation?
When we talk about salvation, we are talking about God's plan to reconcile man to him through faith and grace. We need to believe with our faith that God will make us right in his sight despite our short comings. Then we must believe that God's grace will make us worthy of his love and the right to eternal life.
