What is the Gospel?

The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ having come to earth to live the perfect life that no one could live, die the death that we all deserve, and rise to new life so that through His resurrection all who believe receive eternal life no human could earn.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

How do I become a christian?

Becoming a Christian means wholeheartedly surrendering your life to Jesus as your Lord. To do this we have to first recognize and acknowledge that we are all sinners against a holy God and we all need saving.

“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God” - Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” - Romans 6:23

Acknowledging this, we also recognize and confess that Jesus Christ is our perfect savior who died in our place, trading our sins and giving us His righteousness.

“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:8

“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” - Romans 10:9

To make this confession of faith, you can offer your heart in prayer by

  • Acknowledging you are a sinner by confessing your sins to God, asking for His forgiveness, and repenting.

  • Confessing that you believe that Jesus the true son of God, lived a perfect life, died for your sins, and raised again to new life.

  • Thanking God for sending His son Jesus Christ to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world.

  • Committing to following Jesus as the Lord of your life.

  • Asking the Holy Spirit to come into your heart to lead you and help you grow in your walk with Jesus.

If you have surrendered your heart and life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, we want to welcome you to God’s family!

If you are making this commitment for the first time we encourage you to reach out to a local church to help you grow in your faith as you connect with other brothers and sisters in Christ.

If you are in or near the Abilene, TX area, we’d love for you to join us in worship at The Well!
