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.

What happens next?

If you prayed that prayer — welcome to God's family! Here are your next steps:

  1. 1. Tell someone

    We would be honored to welcome you at Lake Shore Church in Chicago's West Loop and help you grow in faith.

  2. 2. Read the Bible

    Start with the Gospel of John to learn about Jesus. You can read or listen online.

  3. 3. Pray daily

    Prayer is simply talking to God. Continue sharing your heart with him daily.

  4. 4. Binyag ng mananampalataya at Banal na Espiritu

    Sundin si Jesus sa binyag ng mananampalataya. Kung nais mong lumalim sa pananampalataya at tumanggap ng binyag sa Banal na Espiritu, basahin ang seksyon sa ibaba o makipag-usap kay Pastor Brian.

Ang binyag sa Banal na Espiritu

Matapos ilagay ang inyong pananampalataya kay Jesus, maaari ninyong tanggapin ang binyag sa Banal na Espiritu — isang natatanging kaloob para sa bawat mananampalataya na nagbibigay ng kapangyarihan upang maglingkod kay Cristo. Humiling nang may pananampalataya, lubos na magpakailalim sa Diyos, at tumanggap nang may pananampalataya.

  1. Hilingin sa Ama nang may pananampalataya — «Kung kayo na masasama ay marunong magbigay ng mabubuting bagay sa inyong mga anak, gaano pa kaya ang makalangit na Ama na magbibigay ng Banal na Espiritu sa mga humihiling sa kanya!» (Lucas 11:13)
  2. Lubos na isuko si Jesus bilang Panginoon sa bawat bahagi ng buhay.
  3. Tumanggap nang may pananampalataya — ang parehong Espiritu na pumuno sa mga mananampalataya sa Pentecostés (Gawa 2:4) ay available ngayon.

Mga Kasulatan

  • Ngunit tatanggap kayo ng kapangyarihan pagdating ng Banal na Espiritu sa inyo… (Gawa 1:8)
  • Habang nagsasalita pa si Pedro, bumaba ang Banal na Espiritu sa lahat ng nakikinig sa salita. (Gawa 10:44)
  • Narito, ipinapadala ko sa inyo ang pangako ng aking Ama… manatili kayo sa lungsod hanggang mabihisan ng kapangyarihan mula sa itaas. (Lucas 24:49)
