Being promoted to the position of 'Grandparents'!

Paid In Full




Your Salvation has been purchased, your sins forgiven...it's in your court. All you need to do is receive this free gift.
Step 1 - Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin. We were born under the power of sin's control.
Step 2 - Understand that you deserve death (or separation from God) for your sin.
Romans 6:23a "...The wages of sin is death..."
Not speaking here of physical death, but a spiritual death - or eternal separation from God. Since God created us specifically to have a relationship with Him, this is definitely not His purpose for us - but we do have a choice.
Step 3 - Ask God to forgive you and save you.
Romans 6:23b "...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Salvation is a free gift from God to you! You can't earn this gift by your own works. The only thing you have to do is reach out and receive it.
Step 4 - Give your life to God...His love is what saves you -- not religion, or church membership. God loves you!
Romans 5:8, "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"
When Jesus died on the cross He paid the price for all sin! All we have to do is believe in Him and what He has done for us, then trust Him to guide and direct our lives.
Step 5 - Just ask, He'll take care of the rest!
Romans 10:13 "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved!"
Step 6 - If you know that God is knocking on your heart's door, ask Him to come into your heart. Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."
Jesus said, Revelation 3:20a "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him..."
- Is Jesus knocking on your heart's door? He says He is!
Step 7 - Get involved in a Bible teaching, Bible believing church. Let them know your decision! What better time of the year to begin your new life!
