The First Step
Nothing brings healing quite like forgiveness. Everyone has sinned, whether big or small - and that sin separates us from God. But because of His great love for us, God made the ultimate sacrifice, giving His only Son, Jesus, to take upon Himself the penalty for our sins.
Jesus lived a perfect life, and though He committed no sin, He paid for our sins through His death on the cross. Three days later, He rose from the grave, defeating death.
God’s Word tells us that if we confess our sins, repent, and put our faith in Jesus, we will have that healing forgiveness we all desperately need.
Every journey begins with a step. This is the first step in our walk with the Lord. Once we take that step, God’s Holy Spirit dwells within us, giving us a new heart and leading us into an abundant life through spiritual growth. It’s through this first step of faith, by God’s grace, that we find hope for eternity in His presence.
We hope you’ll take that step today by praying a prayer like the following:
“Dear God,
I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that You raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do Your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

While this first step is the most important, the journey doesn’t end here. God has great plans for your life, and He created us to walk together.
