"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” -Romans 10:9-13
Serving since 1999.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever should believe in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16
This is my favorite verse because it gives life and hope to the lost and saved alike!
Serving since 1995.
