We want to tell you about something that really means a lot to us. It works. It makes people free.
There must be thousands of religious philosophies men have made up, and it's true that, in God's name, these have sometimes been used to enslave men. Nevertheless, a Creator-Designer is there. He proves it. And He has made His love for us known by coming to this world and suffering, in our place, the penalty we deserve for our sin.
The Good News is that we can be made right with God and receive eternal life as a free gift because of what Jesus Christ did for us.
Everyone has one basic problem - sin. From this comes our many other personal and social problems. 'For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God' (Romans 3:23). God's perfection requires that sin be paid for. Jesus Christ made this payment in full when He died on the cross in our place. He then rose from the dead to prove it. "Herein is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the (payment) for our sins" (I John 4:10).
Salvation - eternal life in heaven - is a free gift. It's yours the moment you believe (trust) in the Lord Jesus Christ as the One Who paid for all your sin. We could never, by our works, be good enough to earn eternal life. 'For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast' (Ephesians 2:8,9).
And it's forever. God promises that He will never take it back. ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' John 3:16.
We hope, if you haven't already trusted Christ, that you will now.
And, if you have, we hope that our music - what it says and the way it is said - will really encourage you to be one of those who are passing the Good News on to others.
Free men serving because of love.
