Salvation

             This is the greatest decision you will make in your life!

"God so loved ALL people that He sent Jesus to save us from spiritual death. Spiritual death would be a tragedy if there was not a remedy, but He gave us salvation. He gave us a Savior. What's His name? Jesus. Whoever believes in Jesus won't die; they'll have everlasting life and be set free from the spiritual death that all mankind is subject to. We become new people with new life and we'll share that life for eternity with the Father." Casey Treat - Setting Your Course.
