Calvary Baptist Church is a group of followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We acknowledge Him as our Saviour and Lord. Our desire is to point people to Christ and to share the good news of what He had done for us. We encourage you to read through this message of hope and grace.
How can you know that your sins are forgiven, and that God has reserved a place for you with him? If you were to die today, do you know for sure that you would go to heaven?
Is it even possible for us to know that?
The Bible tells us that it is possible to know that your sins are forgiven. That it is possible to know that you will go to heaven when you die.
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
–1 John 5:13
There is a God, and we will answer to Him.
Romans 1:20-21 “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Because that , when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was hardened.”
The first thing we must realize is that God is the creator of everything.
He, is God.
Creation shows us that there is a God, and that we are without excuse. Because of creation there is no reason for us not to believe in God. But we have turned our backs on Him.
Everyone Needs Salvation!
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
None of us are worthy of God or of entering heaven. Our sin, condemns us. Sin is everything from a little lie, to murder, to immorality, and stealing.
Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The wages or payment for my sin, is death. Sin is so bad, that it condemns us all to death.
Jesus Died to Save Us!
Romans 5:8“But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
The good news in all this, is that God loves us. He loves us so much that he sent his own son Jesus Christ, to die in our place to take the penalty for our sins.
Salvation is a Free Gift
Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
The wages or payment for my sin, is death. But God gives us salvation as a free gift.
Romans 11:6 “And if by grace then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.”
God did all the work, it is not because of anything that I have done.
Salvation Comes Through Faith
Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.”
God did all the work, you just need to believe it.
God Saves All Who Call Upon Him
Romans 10: 13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
There is no religious ritual or special formula that saves you, it’s just Jesus.
