How much more, then, will the
blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself
unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to
death, so that we may serve the living God!
For this reason Christ is the
mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive
the promised eternal inheritance - now that he has died as a ransom
to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

John Ch 1 vs 12

of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision
or a husband's will, but born of God. |

1 Peter Ch 1 vs 3,4
Praise be to the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new
birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil
or fade - kept in heaven for you,... |
| |
|
Ephesians Ch 2 vs 8,9
For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith - and this is not through yourselves, it is the
gift of God - not by works, so that no-one can boast.

If you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the

For it is with your heart that you
believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess
and you are saved.
Anyone who trusts in him (Jesus)
will never be put to shame.
The Lord richly blesses all who call
on him, for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. |

Committing your life to Jesus is only the
start. Jesus wants you to know him more closely than your best friend.
Today you've started that journey, you will need help and guidance. Help
comes from reading the Bible, praying and spending time with other
Christians. We encourage you to find a church close by where you feel
comfortable and biblical principles are taught. |
