What we have learned about trusting Jesus Christ:
- In contrast to other religions of the world, the gospel of Jesus Christ offers eternal salvation in a manner that does not require people to work for it or earn it.
- As sinful beings, no human being could earn salvation even if he or she wanted to and diligently tried to do so.
- Through the death of His Son Jesus, our loving and righteous God provided the way to pay our sin debt.
- Because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, God extends salvation freely to us as a gift.
- God promises to forgive us if we repent and believe (trust) in His Son, Jesus Christ.
- Repentance occurs when our former false views of God, ourselves, and our sins are deeply changed to conform to God’s view.
- To believe is to trust Jesus (place our faith in Jesus), and Jesus alone, to save us.
