separates me from You. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, who died and rose from death to pay my penalty for sin and death, to provide forgiveness for my sins, and to restore my relationship with You. Please forgive me and cleanse my life; give me a new beginning! I invite You, Jesus, to become my personal Savior and the King of my life. Resting in Your complete love for me, by Your Spirit help me trust and obey You in every thought and act; help me to love and to serve You and others near me wholeheartedly. Amen.” If you have begun a relationship with God by trusting Christ as your Savior, please let one of the pastors know. They would count it a privilege to be of
help to you in your new life in Christ.

die on the cross for you. “For 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.” (Jn 3:16) “...I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20) 2. REPENT OF Y OUR SIN. This means to admit to God that you are a sinner, ask forgiveness of your sins and, with His help, turn away from your sins. “...But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” (Luke 3:3) “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!” (Mk 1:15) 3. B ELIEVE AND RECEIVE C HRIST AS Y OUR SAVIOR. This means that you accept God’s offer of love, mercy and forgiveness; that you trust Jesus Christ as your only Savior; and that you are free from struggling and trying to save yourself by your good works, baptism, confirmation, church membership or attendance, and that you rely on Jesus Christ alone for your salvation. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12) 4. C ONFESS C HRIST. This means that you will not be ashamed to let others know that you are a Christian and have a relationship with God. When you receive Christ, you should let someone else know about it. “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32) “That if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rms 10:9)

ALMA HUNT OFFERING— September 18-24, 2017. The annual offering for Virginia missions was named for Alma Hunt, a native Virginian who was known worldwide for her missions service and her unswerving dedication to the cause of Christ. Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid, from now on you will fish for people. ”So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything, and followed him.” Luke 5:10- 11(NIV). The Virginia missions goal this year is $1,167,500. When you give to the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions, you are working with other Virginia Baptist to say “YES” as we share the love of Christ with a world in crisis and help further the work of God’s Kingdom. You will find an envelope in the seat pocket for your mission donation. Please see the insert in today’s bulletin for additional information.
