AT SHERIDAN HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH, WE BELIEVE THAT A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS THE FOUNDATION OF A TRANSFORMED LIFE. IT’S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, BUT ABOUT HAVING A PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH JESUS, WHO LOVES YOU DEEPLY AND OFFERS ETERNAL HOPE.
1. GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU
GOD CREATED YOU AND LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. HIS LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL, AND HE DESIRES A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. THE BIBLE SAYS, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE” (JOHN 3:16).
2. RECOGNIZE YOUR NEED FOR A SAVIOR
WE ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT AND HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM GOD BY SIN. THE BIBLE TEACHES, “FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD” (ROMANS 3:23). BUT GOD HAS A SOLUTION: JESUS.
3. JESUS’ SACRIFICE FOR YOU
JESUS CAME TO EARTH, LIVED A PERFECT LIFE, AND WILLINGLY GAVE HIS LIFE ON THE CROSS TO PAY THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. “BUT GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE FOR US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US” (ROMANS 5:8).
4. TRUST IN JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR
GOD OFFERS THE GIFT OF SALVATION TO ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST. BY TRUSTING IN HIM, YOU ARE FORGIVEN AND GIVEN NEW LIFE. “IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, ‘JESUS IS LORD,’ AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED” (ROMANS 10:9).
5. A NEW BEGINNING
WHEN YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR, IT’S THE START OF A NEW LIFE IN HIM. YOU’RE INVITED INTO A RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU GROW IN FAITH, EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, AND FIND YOUR PURPOSE. “THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW HAS COME!” (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17).
HOW TO BEGIN TODAY:
STARTING A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IS AS SIMPLE AS PRAYING FROM YOUR HEART. THERE’S NO SPECIFIC FORMULA, BUT HERE’S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN PRAY:
"DEAR JESUS, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER AND I NEED YOUR FORGIVENESS. I BELIEVE YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. I TURN FROM MY SIN AND ASK YOU TO COME INTO MY HEART AND LIFE. I WANT TO TRUST YOU AND FOLLOW YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME AND GIVING ME NEW LIFE. AMEN."
