Welcome to Your Journey of Faith: The ABCs of Salvation

At True North Community Church, we believe in making the path to salvation clear, joyful, and accessible for everyone. Whether you're a long-time believer or just starting to explore faith, we're excited to guide you through this transformative journey with our simple yet profound ABCs of Salvation.

​
ADMIT- Admit you need a Savior

Why We Need Salvation: Let's start with a truth we all share: we're not perfect. None of us have lived a life without mistakes or sin. Romans 3:23 tells us, "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Imagine if someone added a drop of impurity to your purest water; no amount of clean water would make it pure again on its own. That's us with sin - we need a Savior to cleanse us. Romans 6:23 reminds us, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." 

Your First Step: Acknowledge that you, like all of us, need Jesus to save you from the consequences of your actions. It's not about tallying good deeds over bad; it's about recognizing our need for purity, which only Jesus can provide.

"All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." Romans 6:23

BELIEVE- Believe in Christ

The Core of Our Faith: Here's where faith takes flight. Believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again on the third day. This act of belief is not just intellectual assent but a heart-deep trust in Jesus as your personal Savior. John 3:16 encapsulates this beautifully: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Embracing the Belief: Let this belief transform you. When you truly believe, you're not just accepting a historical fact; you're accepting a life-changing relationship with Jesus. 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life."  John 3:16

"God demonstrated His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  Romans 5:8

CONFESS- Confess Jesus as Your Lord

Making It Public: Confession is powerful. It's about declaring Jesus as your Lord, not just in your heart but out loud. Romans 10:9-10 states, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This step is about making a commitment before God, yourself, and others.

Your Declaration: When you confess Jesus as Lord, you're stepping into a new identity. You're saying, "I'm not just a believer; I'm a follower of Christ, ready to live out my faith."
