But consider another scenario. Imagine you receive not a check in the mail, but notification of a deposit from your bank. You don’t have to do anything to receive the funds—the money is already yours. And the date on the deposit? Almost two thousand years ago!

God has already accomplished salvation for us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s money in the bank! This is the good news of Jesus Christ: God loves you, chooses you, saves you not because of anything you may do to deserve it. Salvation is a free gift from God for those who don’t deserve it. Granted, you may experience the presence of God in powerful ways at times throughout your life; but your salvation does not depend on these powerful experiences. God wants us to choose him; but only because God has already chosen us.

More good news!  Since we don’t deserve salvation, and
can’t earn God’s grace, we are free to say “yes” to the God who saved us. Saying yes to salvation means that we enter into a life long relationship with the God who created us and loves us. We are assured that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:31-39).  

Saying yes to salvation means that we become part of Jesus’ family around the corner and around the world (Galatians 3:26-28).

When we say “yes” to salvation, we have God’s assurance that we will never be alone even after death. When we breathe our last breath, God will bring us to our eternal home (John 14:1-3).  It’s money in the bank!

God in Christ has saved you. We encourage you to say “yes” to this free gift. We hope you will also contact us in person, or via e-mail, to share with us how God’s free gift has changed your life.
