Our Sin

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.
Romans 3:23 NLT

God's Gift
We cannot earn God’s forgiveness – it must be given. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven.
But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

A Symbol of Faith
Baptism shows others that you have been made new. This outward declaration of an inward decision represents your old sinful life being washed clean, because of your faith in Jesus.
For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
