Friend, stop and ask "why are you visiting this site?"

Maybe it is because you have heard about us and are checking us out. Maybe it is because you're searching for answers to life.

Whatever it is, it is not by any chance that you are here. If you are searching for the missing link in your life then please accept our invitation and read on. 

A number of years ago I began searching. I knew that there was something greater than me just being here on the earth, "what was it all about?"

I didn't know it at the time, but the Holy Spirit was illuminating me to the answers for the questions I had.

Allow me to share with you the answers I found.

1- God is pursuing a relationship with you, He created you to worship Him.

Revelation 4:11 says "You are worthy, O Lord our God to receive glory and honour and power. For you created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created."

You have probably noticed that many people do not honour God, but abuse Him. So why do people do this?

2- Man has decided to go against God rather than honour Him. Man has turned away from God. He never pursues God.

Romans 3:11-12 says, "There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."

Why? Because in the very beginning the first man & woman disobeyed God and because they did wrong before God all men have been separated from God (Gen 3). We call this "sin."

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned; and fall short of God's glory."

Notice that "ALL" have done wrong, that includes you and me friend.

Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This is what we deserve, this is our payment, separation from God for all eternity.

But, because God loves you and me He sent His Son Jesus, who came into the world and died on the cross so we can have eternal life.

So how do we get it?

Man has tried to appease God in all sorts of ways, by being good, doing things for others, going to church. But the fact is none of these things will work. What man thinks is the right way is actually the wrong way.

Proverbs 14:12 says, There is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death."

There is only one way and that is through Jesus. I cannot pay for your sins because I am like you, a sinner. It is only through God's Son Jesus that one can be made right with God.

Jesus suffered for you and for me because He loves us with an unconditional love.

1Peter 3:18 says "Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit."

So how do we get to God? Through His Son Jesus Christ.

In John 14:6 Jesus says "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

So one must accept that Jesus is the only way to God.

Acts 3:19 tells us, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

Acts 2:21 "And it shall come to pass, that whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

You see friend, if you believe with all your heart, soul and mind that Jesus died on the cross so you can have eternal life, then you will be saved.

So, if you want to know Jesus as your personal Saviour then keep reading.

Romans 10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

So, you can have forgiveness and eternal life with your creator right now. But it is your choice, you choose. God does not make you, it is up to you.

All you need to do, is truly believe that Jesus' blood washed away your sins, and that He rose again victorious over eternal death. Then by confessing that you are a sinner, seeking forgiveness of your sins, and then asking Jesus into your heart as your Saviour you will be saved.

Remember it is not by some chance that you are reading this, but it is because God wants a personal relationship with you, and that relationship starts by confessing all the wrong you have done in your life and then by asking Jesus into your heart as Lord and Saviour.

If you have done this then please contact us so we can pray for you and help you to find a good church.
