Reasons to believe in Jesus Christ
Repent and Believe in the Gospel If salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, then one question still presses upon the conscience: How should a sinner respond to this gospel? Jesus answered plainly: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and…
Saved from God’s Wrath by Grace Through Faith in Christ If Christ truly died for sinners and rose again, then the next question is unavoidable: How is His saving work received by guilty people like us? Not by trying harder. Not by becoming religious enough. Not by adding our goodness to His merit. Not by…
What Jesus Accomplished for Us If Jesus is truly God the Son in human flesh, then the next question is unavoidable: What did He come to do? He did not come merely to give advice, set an example, start a movement, or offer vague spiritual inspiration. He came to do what sinners could never do…

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.’”— Genesis 1:26 “You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.”— Psalm 8:5 If you are going to understand why you need salvation, you first need to understand what you were made for….
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”— Isaiah 6:3 If you’re honestly searching for truth, you can’t start with yourself.
