Knowing Jesus
Our first purpose is to KNOW Jesus, which means having a personal relationship with Him that begins on earth and continues into eternity.
Knowing Jesus is as easy as A-B-C.
We ADMIT that we have sinned against God, in our actions, our thoughts, and our motives. In light of this, we deserve punishment and judgment.
We BELIEVE that Jesus is God's Son, that He died on a Roman cross, taking our punishment on Himself, and opening the door to eternal life for all who call on Him.
We CONFESS our faith in Jesus, placing our trust in Him, and Him alone, for salvation. We turn from our sin and our efforts to gain salvation in any other way, and we turn toward Jesus.
