DISCOVER JESUS
If you are searching for truth and want to get know Jesus or you’re ready right now to say a prayer to welcome Jesus into your life, then you’ve come to the right place!
GETTING TO KNOW JESUS
A relationship with Jesus and the gift of eternal life is something that God freely offers to everyone.
To receive this gift is an act of faith.
In the Bible, the gospel of John says it like this: ‘God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life’ (John 3:16).
To receive this gift of eternal life, it starts with a simple prayer that says three things to God:
1) Sorry
You have to ask God to forgive you for all the things you have done wrong and turn from everything which you know is wrong in your life. This is what the Bible means by ‘repentance’.
2) Thank you
We believe that Jesus died for us on the cross. You need to thank Him for dying for you and for the offer of His free gift of forgiveness, freedom and His Spirit.
3) Please
God never forces His way into our lives. You need to accept His gift and invite Him to come and live within you by His Spirit.
If you would like to have a relationship with God and you are ready to say these three things, then here is a very simple prayer which you can pray and which will be the start of that relationship:
LET'S PRAY
Lord God,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose to life again.
I am sorry for my sins; and ask for your forgiveness. I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Saviour.
I ask you to transform my life and give me your Holy Spirit to lead me all of my days.
Thank you for your unlimited goodness and grace over my life.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
THREE WAYS TO GROW YOUR FAITH
1) Talk with someone
Fill out our “Talk with Someone” Form below if you’d like someone to get in touch with you and help you in your search for truth or your decision to start a relationship with Jesus.
2) Develop your understanding
We’d love to encourage you to join a Group where you can learn more about Jesus with other people who follow Him. Along with this why not start reading the Bible (the Gospels is a great place to start!) and praying to God (talking to Him). We really recommend the YouVersion Bible App that can be downloaded on any smartphone.
3) Get connected to church
You are so welcome to join us for one of our weekly Sunday Services. If you’re not based in Sunderland, we’d love to point you in the right direction of great local church near you.
