At South Union Baptist Church, we want you to have a relationship with God. This is the most important thing that you could ever possibly do in your life. The Bible says that God is a perfect God who cannot allow sin into his presence. However, every single person in the world that has ever lived (except for Jesus) has committed sin. Even the very best people occasionally mess up and disobey God. The Bible says that “the wages of sin is death,” and that means that we will not only die physically but that we are also spiritually dead.
Jesus, God’s Son, came to Earth 2,000 years ago and lived the only perfect life. He could do this because He is God. He died on the cross to pay the price for our sins—all we have to do is accept His free gift.
In order for us to have a relationship with God we must ask Jesus to forgive us for all of our sin that we have committed. When we do that Jesus forgives us of our sin and gives us a home in heaven when we die.
To have a relationship with God is what it means to be a Christian, or a follower of Christ. If you would like to start your relationship with God you simply need to ask Him to forgive you from all of your sin, and to help you live for Him.
Joining a local church will help you in your new relationship so that you can begin to learn more about God and His word, the Bible. You should also begin to pray and read the Bible daily because that is how you grow in your relationship with God. Be sure to ask if you ever have questions about how to read the Bible, where to start, or anything else you may have questions about.
We hope this will help you on your journey to take the next step in following Christ and starting your relationship with Him.
