Find Hope in Jesus Christ

God raised Jesus from the dead. There is hope for all who follow him.

What is salvation?

Salvation is the gift of forgiveness and new life that God offers to everyone through Jesus Christ. It cannot be earned — it is received by faith.

Key Scriptures

  • 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 ESV)
  • If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 ESV)
  • For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23 ESV)
  • For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 ESV)

How to receive salvation

  1. 1. Acknowledge

    Admit that you have sinned and need God's forgiveness.

  2. 2. Believe

    Believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead.

  3. 3. Confess

    Confess Jesus as Lord of your life.

Pray this prayer

If you are ready to receive Christ, you may pray in your own words or use this example:

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness of all my sins. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. Right now, I turn from my sins and invite you into my heart and life. Please forgive me, cleanse me, and fill me with your Holy Spirit. I want to trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  4. 4. Bautismo de creyente y el Espíritu Santo

    Siga a Jesús en el bautismo de creyente. Si desea profundizar en su fe y recibir el bautismo en el Espíritu Santo, lea la sección siguiente o hable con el Pastor Brian.

El bautismo en el Espíritu Santo

Después de poner su fe en Jesús, puede recibir el bautismo en el Espíritu Santo — un don distinto para todo creyente que le capacita para servir a Cristo. Pida con fe, entréguese por completo a Dios y reciba por fe.

  1. Pida al Padre con fe — «Si ustedes, que son malos, saben dar buenas cosas a sus hijos, ¡cuánto más el Padre celestial dará el Espíritu Santo a quienes se lo pidan!» (Lucas 11:13 NVI)
  2. Entréguese por completo a Jesús como Señor de cada área de su vida.
  3. Reciba por fe — el mismo Espíritu que llenó a los creyentes en Pentecostés (Hechos 2:4) está disponible hoy.

Escrituras

  • Pero recibirán poder cuando el Espíritu Santo venga sobre ustedes… (Hechos 1:8 NVI)
  • Mientras Pedro aún hablaba, el Espíritu Santo cayó sobre todos los que escuchaban la palabra. (Hechos 10:44 NVI)
  • He aquí, yo envío la promesa de mi Padre sobre ustedes; pero quédense en la ciudad hasta que sean investidos de poder desde lo alto. (Lucas 24:49 NVI)
