SALVATION
DO YOU KNOW JESUS?
Do You Know Jesus?
The desire of God and of New Life Birmingham is that all are saved through Christ Jesus and that all establish a personal relationship with God that will not only lead to eternal life but a life filled with God’s blessings here on earth as well. We believe that the plan of Salvation is a free gift that is offered to all who are willing to accept it. It is God’s way of offering deliverance, freedom and an abundant life to His children.
It is the mission of New Life Birmingham to help nurture all into a lifestyle that is free from daily practices of sin and into a life that reaps a harvest of blessings, peace, love and joy in living for God and being adopted in God’s family. The plan of Salvation is not a hard process but rather one that takes faith in Jesus Christ to believe and to receive. We are fully persuaded that once you believe and receive, you will find that everything you need in life will be found in your relationship with Jesus Christ. . "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power" (Colossians 2:9).
Salvation brings justification and justification represents forgiveness of our sins. As you put your faith in God and turn away from living a continual life of sin, God will forgive you of all of your sins and render you to be guiltless before Him with past penalties of sin completely washed away. As God washes your sins away, He also forgets them; therefore, not wanting us to remember what it is He is willing to forget. That is God’s love and compassion in action for His children. Being justified through faith, grants access to God’s grace and to His mercy. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:1–2).
New Life Birmingham is fully persuaded according to the Word of God, that once you accept the plan of Salvation for your life, God will no longer hold your sins against you but rather place the righteousness of Christ on your account. "Be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from Salvation Brings Peace, Access, and Hope,” (Philippians 3:9). Do not worry, God promises to take care of your past, your present and your future as He prepares for you to eternally share in His glory.
