Following Jesus
3 simple steps to become a follower of Jesus…
Admit your condition before God…
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Believe that Jesus Christ is God’s only solution to your condition…
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Choose to follow Christ as your Savior and Lord…
I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged; but has crossed over from death to life.
If you want to accept Jesus Christ into your life just pray this prayer:
Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. I believe Jesus was who He said He was and proved it by rising from death. I want to discover and begin following Your plan and purpose for my life. I want to get to know You personally. Thank You, Jesus Christ, for dying for me and forgiving all my sins. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for Your free gift of eternal life.
If you have questions, or would like someone to talk with as you make this decision, we would love to know.
BAPTISM
We believe that baptism is essential for every believer who has repented of sin and confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior. Baptism at Purpose Church is done by total immersion in water, just as Jesus was.
Baptism is a symbol of Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection and new life. (Romans 6:4) It is a way of uniting ourselves with Jesus (Galatians 3:27). It is further an outward expression of an inner commitment (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We totally understand that with this topic and big decision comes many questions. Why should I get baptized? How should I get baptized? What is the meaning of baptism? Who should get baptized? We want to answer these questions the best that we can as you go forward in this step of obedience.
We have baptisms every 3 months. Let us know if you want to get baptized. We are so excited for you as you walk through this process, and please know that we are here to help you each step of the way.
