What We Believe
Who is Jesus Christ?
We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God who was born to a virgin mother Mary; Lived among us; Sacrificed and Died on the cross for us; Rose from the dead on the 3rd day and ascended back to the father and now is alive and sitting on the right hand of the father continually making intercessions for us.
​
Why should I give my life to Christ?
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)
​
How do you receive the Lord?
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)
​
Jesus was born into the world more than 2,000 years ago to bring humanity back into relationship with God. He gave his life on the cross for our sins. He came that we might be free, that we might have peace and that we might have victory over our pain and struggling.
​
All He asks is that you let Him into your heart.
​
If you are at the point in your life where you are ready to accept Christ as your personal Savior, all you have to do is reach out to Him. His arms are wide open, waiting for you, just as you are. He wants to help you live a better life, a more abundant life.
​
Will you invite Him in now? If so, just pray this simple prayer:
“Lord Jesus, come into my life. I confess my sins to You, and I ask that you forgive me. I confess Jesus as the Lord of my life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead for my sins. I thank you Lord for saving me. Amen.”
​
If you prayed this prayer, email us to let us know about your life-changing decision. If you don’t have a church home, we’d love for you to join and fellowship with us at St James!
