RENEWING THE SPIRIT: Living a Life of Faith

Gracious living begins with having the right foundation. To live a life of grace and beauty, one must live a life of goodness. We were created in God's image to be people who live rightly and love purely. But the Bible tells us we have all sinned and are incapable of being good based on our own merits. We need to be reconciled to God, and He has provided a way to do so: through Jesus Christ.

We must come to God by acknowledging that we are sinners in His sight and need forgiveness. God so loved us, that He gave His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us and to bring us into right relationship with God. Jesus' death and resurrection provided the way for us to be reconciled to God. We must believe in Him and surrender our lives to Him as Lord.

If you have already committed your life to Christ, I trust that He is drawing you into a closer relationship with Him each day. Being a Christian is more than praying a prayer and attending church on Sundays. It is about having the most wonderful relationship we could ever imagine: a relationship with the One Who created us and loves us more than anyone else! We can begin each day anew, giving it to Jesus by spending time with Him in Bible reading, prayer, and worship.
