> How to begin a Personal Relationship with the Eternal God

We believe that God desires a personal relationship with every individual human. God created us in His image, to connect intimately with Him, but our sin broke that relationship. As soon as we made that break, God announced His plan to bridge the gap and reconcile us to Himself. This plan climaxed when His only Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross as a sacrifice in our place. Because He paid the debt of our sin, we can be forgiven and reconciled to God forever!

Learn how to accept God's forgiveness by asking Jesus Christ into your heart.

As in any relationship, a relationship with God requires time and attention to develop. Your relationship with God will grow for the rest of your life. People have their own special time and place to communicate with God and Faith Baptist encourages its members to connect to God through the following means:

> Prayer

Prayer is a conversation between you and God. Through prayer we can praise God for His blessings, repent for our wrongdoings, ask for the needs of our friends and families, and bring our own requests before God.

> Prayer To Connect To God

We believe that God desires a personal relationship with every individual human. You can begin that relationship at any time by receiving Jesus Christ as your savior. You can express this decision to God through prayer. If you would like to talk to a pastor please contact us.

The following is a prayer that you can use to accept Jesus Christ. Please feel free to say this prayer or use your own words.

"Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sin. I turn from it right now. I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sin. Jesus, I invite you to come into my heart, fill me with the Holy Spirit, and take control of my life. Guide and direct me in my daily walk with you through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you that my sin is forgiven and that I am going to heaven. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
