Fallen humanity’s only hope of redemption is through the blood of Jesus Christ and his work on the cross. We accept that redemption when we fully believe in Jesus’ power over sin, satan, and death; and make him Lord – accepting his forgiveness, his authority over our lives, and the gift of his spirit living in and through us.  Those who receive God’s offer of grace by faith are born again, justified, regenerated, adopted into the family of God, made heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit, and will live forever in his kingdom.  From the moment of salvation, God begins the work of sanctification – which is God, through his spirit making Christians more like Jesus everyday.
