Our mission is simple— to share the absolute, unchanging, and indisputable Good News of Jesus Christ and trust the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do. This app exists for only one purpose— to bring glory to the one true, Creator God. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7) (1 Corinthians 10:31)
As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.” (Paul in Romans 10:13 taken from the OT; Joel 2:32)
It is God’s will that you be saved.
Read His Word daily so that the Holy Spirit might use it to draw you to Him. Read the Gospel of John – for it tells us of Jesus Christ, the greatest life ever lived, and what He has done for us. Review this clear presentation of the gospel message over and over.
Be persistent—keep calling, keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking, keep praying.
Have a sense of urgency, audacity, earnestness, boldness, and relentlessness— like the persistent asking of a desperate beggar.
Remember Jesus’ promise: If sinful human parents still give good gifts out of love, how much more will a perfectly good Father gladly give His own Spirit—His presence, power, and help—to His children who ask and keep asking? (adapted from Luke 11:13)

A clear presentation of the gospel message must precede genuine repentance and saving faith. True faith always has content… the revealed Word of God. The Holy Spirit uses the Word to produce life. (James 1:18)
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17)
Salvation comes to those who hear and believe the facts of the gospel. (1 Corinthians 15:1-2)
The Gospel Truth is this— There is only one true, sovereign, living, Creator God. One Savior. One Mediator between God and man. One Holy Spirit. One true religion. One holy book. One gospel. One way to salvation. One way to eternal life. (Acts 4:12)
Jesus—the Christ, the Son of the Living God—is that WAY. He is THE way, the ONE way, the ONLY way to salvation. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (from John 14:6)
The gospel is the most offensive claim to the many who are lost. It just happens to be the TRUTH— the absolute, unchanging, indisputable and exclusive truth of Christianity. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
This is the Good News of Jesus Christ
“God, the Creator of the universe and everything in it, the one true, sovereign and only living God is holy— perfectly righteous and pure, and you and I are not. That’s a serious problem, because one day you and I will stand before this holy God, and in our sin we are completely unprepared and unequipped and will be judged, found guilty, and thrown into the lake of fire.
How can an unholy person stand before a holy God on the last day and expect anything but condemnation? We can’t. We are all sinners and have fallen short of His perfect standard of righteousness. That’s why God, in His mercy and because of His love for us, sent us exactly what we needed—a Savior. Jesus Christ lived the perfect life we couldn’t live, died the death we deserved, and then rose again, conquering sin, death, hell, Satan and all the powers of darkness.
If you genuinely repent of your sins and completely surrender your life to Christ and put your faith and trust in Him, God, by His grace, will forgive you, declare you righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, and give you eternal life.
These are the facts of the true gospel of Jesus Christ you must believe in your heart in order to be saved.
But it is imperative for you to understand that because of the curse and consequences of sin we are all born “not saved,” lost, without faith in Christ— spiritually “dead” in our sin, and condemned without hope. (Ephesians 2:1)
But God knew that Adam would sin and even before time began, He had a plan to restore the relationship with humanity that was broken due to sin. (Ephesians 1:4)
We are all sinners, without exception, and have fallen short of God’s perfect standard of righteousness— His glory, and there is a penalty to be paid for that. (Romans 3:23)
Because of God’s wrath, the powerful and just anger of a holy God, and His rightful judgment, the penalty for all sinners is death (spiritual and physical), separation from God and eternal punishment in the lake of fire. (Romans 6:23) (Hebrews 9:27)
Either you must pay the penalty for your sin or someone else pays it for you. But God’s justice required that the person paying your penalty must be sinless. There was not one perfect, sinless human being alive at that time who could do that. (Hebrews 7:26)
So that sinless human being had to be God Himself— God incarnate, God in human form, truly God and truly man— Jesus. So, God did what only He could do. He added humanity to His deity and God himself through His Son Jesus Christ, born of a miracle virgin birth, became that perfect, sinless substitute, “the perfect lamb,” who took your punishment and died in your place so you wouldn’t have to. (John 1:14)
And on the third day God raised Him from the dead in a victory over sin, death, hell, Satan and all the powers of darkness. The resurrection is proof of God’s acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice and the guarantee of eternal life to all who genuinely repent and put their faith and trust in Him. (Romans 4:25)
As you hear or read a clear presentation of the gospel message, the Holy Spirit begins His unique work. In His timing, He shines sufficient light into the darkness of your sin, where you are naturally unwilling and even unable to believe. The Holy Spirit draws you to Himself, unblinds your eyes, “tugs on” and softens your hardened heart, opens your mind and “convicts you about the guilt of sin, the punishment for it, your need for a Savior and about righteousness and judgment.” (John 16:8)
He then does a supernatural work of grace to reverse your unwillingness or ignorance and releases you from the bondage of your sin leading you to genuine repentance and enables you to come to faith in Christ. (2 Timothy 2:25)
By God’s grace and through your repentance and faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit transforms you into a spiritual rebirth, where you are “born again” (born for a second time), as a new creation Christ. Your old sinful self has been crucified with Him on the cross, the old you no longer exists and everything about you is made new— a new heart, a new mind, a new way of thinking, a new way of acting and reacting, a new attitude, a new Christlike character and identity, a new way of living your life and a new hope, a living hope for eternal life in Jesus Christ! (Titus 3:5)
You have been declared righteous before the one true Holy God through the righteousness of Jesus and your identity is made complete and whole for the first time and for all time— from a sinner separated from God to a beloved child of God and joint-heir of eternal life— a Christian, a born again believer and follower of Jesus Christ, no longer identifying as who you are and what you have done, but by “whose” you are in Christ and what He has done for you. Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Romans 8:15-16)
Jesus Christ is the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth. To receive His grace, you must fully surrender to his authority and his will for your life. (Matthew 18:18)
And one day Jesus is coming back, this time as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to bring history to its proper conclusion. And on that day, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! (Revelation 19:16) (Philippians 2:11)
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for who you are and what you have done for me. Let your will be done, in my life— nothing more, nothing less and nothing else.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.” (1 Peter 1:3-5)
Your Response to the Gospel Message: “Believe, Respond, Receive“
Repentance and faith are the necessary responses you must make to God’s gracious offer of salvation. They are inseparable, two sides of the same coin and linked in scripture, yet distinct acts that work hand-in-hand. Both are gifts of God’s grace and neither is possible without the work of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus first preached the gospel of God in Galilee, saying: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Repentance and faith.
This is the human side of salvation—called conversion—where with a Godly sorrow you change your thinking about sin and make a decisive turn from sin and to God in order to restore your relationship with Him, and place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for who He is and what He has done for you through His death and resurrection, all which results in righteous living. (1 Thessalonians 1:9)
This turning leads to the divine side of salvation called regeneration (spiritual rebirth, where you are “born again”) and justification, where through your faith in Christ, God credits the perfect righteousness of Jesus to you, acquits you of all guilt and declares you innocent, removes your status as His enemy, and declares you to be in right standing with Him—fully pardoned and accepted. (Romans 5:1)
By repentance, you give glory to your Creator, God the Father, whom you have offended over and over. By faith, you give glory to your Redeemer, God the Son, Jesus Christ, who came to save you from your sins.
It requires a total surrender to His authority and His will for your life, as you repent and confess your faith in Jesus.
Paul says if these are genuinely true of you — confession with the mouth, belief in the heart — then the Holy Spirit grants you faith and you are saved.
Have you genuinely repented of your sins? Are you ready to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and completely surrender to His authority and submit to His will for your life?
Do you confess Jesus as Lord, the one true, sovereign God with all authority in heaven and on earth? (Romans 10:9)
Do you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead conquering sin, death, hell, Satan and all the powers of darkness and to grant you eternal life? (Romans 10:10)
If you do— according to scripture— YOU ARE SAVED! Completely forgiven (Ephesians 1:7), reconciled to God through the righteousness of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), made a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), indwelled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14), and given eternal life which begins immediately upon salvation (John 17:3).
Praise God!
