Why Jesus?

Everyone has sinned and falls short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). However, God loved the world so much that He sent His Son to die in our place so that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life (John 3:16). The wages of sin is death, but the free gift is eternal life in Jesus Christ(Romans 6:23). Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away and the new things have come(2 Corinthians 5:17). For by grace you have been saved through faith; not by your own strength, but by the gift of God so that no one should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). If we confess our sins, God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord of your life, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). Truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3).

If you believe this and would like to let Jesus lead your life instead of doing it on your own, you can pray a prayer like this right now, right where you are: Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your son, Jesus, to die for me. I repent of my sins and turn to You. I give You my life. Come live in me. Change me, cleanse me, make me the person You want me to be. I receive You, Jesus, as my personal Lord and Savior. Amen. Now, don't keep it to yourself, tell someone. Another Christian that you know or you can even email us here at the River and we will celebrate with you.
