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.
So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us; we [as Christ’s representatives] plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)
Salvation means you have been “saved” from the penalty of sin— death, separation from God and eternal punishment— because Jesus Christ died to pay the penalty for you. He died so you could live.
“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
What Jesus Did For You
Jesus became the sinless human substitute that God’s justice required.
He (God) made Jesus sin— not that He made Jesus commit sin; He never sinned, but He made Him sin in this sense— He treated Jesus as if He had personally committed every sin ever committed by every person who would ever live— though, in fact, He committed none of them.
Hanging on the cross, He was still holy, harmless, and undefiled. Hanging on the cross, He was the spotless Lamb of God. He was not—even for a split second—a sinner, but the Holy God bearing your sin, nailed to the cross.
But God is treating Jesus as if He had lived your life. God punished Him for your sin and then—even two thousand years later— turns around and treats you as if you had lived Christ’s perfect, sinless life.
And what you get is complete forgiveness covered by the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
When God looks at the cross, He sees you and when He looks at you, He sees Christ.
It is God’s will for you to be saved!
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:17)
“God our Savior… desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:3-4)
“The Lord… is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
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.
“Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17)
You are saved only by God’s grace applied by the Holy Spirit, through genuine repentance and saving faith in Jesus Christ!
It is the ONE way, the ONLY way to be saved from God’s wrath and His rightful judgment.
God commands people to hear the gospel message and also requires a response. It is more than just words— it is the supernatural power of God. Our responsibility is to be confronted with the truth of the gospel and not ignore it or suppress it when it is heard and trust the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do. The Holy Spirit is the divine messenger who leads you to repentance and takes your genuine belief and applies it as saving faith, making you alive in Christ. You cannot do it yourself and nobody else can do it for you.
The Work of the Holy Spirit:
As you hear or read the Good News of Jesus Christ, telling of the greatest life ever lived and what He has done for you— the Holy Spirit begins His unique work. In His perfect timing, He shines sufficient light into the darkness of your sin, where you are naturally unwilling and even unable to believe. Our spiritual eyes remain blind until God Himself opens them, enabling us to see and believe in the Savior.
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 and about righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8-11) and you realize that you are sinner— lost, condemned, without hope— and need a Savior, and the only thing you can do is “cry out to God and ask Him to be merciful and save you.“
It is only Jesus who delivers you from the wrath to come— and wrath is coming! This wrath is the powerful and just anger of a holy God against sin and evil in this world; His rightful judgment. As you hear the Good News, the Holy Spirit does a supernatural work of grace to reverse your unwillingness or ignorance to believe the facts of the gospel and releases you from the bondage of your sin, leading you to repentance, “forsaking sin and turning to God for salvation,” and takes your genuine belief in Jesus Christ and applies it as saving faith, transforming you into a spiritual rebirth, where you are “born again,” as a new creation in Christ!
And God, by His grace, declares you righteous through the righteousness of Jesus and gives you eternal life!
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 is a serious problem because one day every one of us will stand before God and in our sin, we are completely unprepared to face His perfect justice. Apart from Christ, we will be judged, found guilty and thrown into the lake of fire—the second death—where we will be consciously tormented day and night, without rest and without reprieve, forever and ever. This is the holy and just judgment of God against sin and those who reject the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
And forever and ever is a long, long time to be wrong!
How can an unholy, wretched sinner stand before the Lord Jesus Christ on the last day and expect anything but condemnation?
We can’t!
We are all sinners, without exception, and have fallen short of His perfect standard of righteousness— His glory. It is sin that separates us from God and there is an eternal penalty to be paid for that. (Romans 3:23; 6:23)
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 sin through Adam, and condemned without hope. (from Ephesians 2:1)
But God by His grace and because of His mercy and love for us, sent us exactly what we needed—a Savior.
The same God who is described as a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29) to those who reject Jesus, is also rich in grace, mercy, and love. His plan to redeem fallen mankind through Christ was established before the foundation of the world.
It is important to understand that because of Adam’s sin and its curse, we are all born spiritually dead, separated from God, lost, condemned, and without hope (Romans 5:12: Ephesians 2:1-3).
So God did what only He could do. He added humanity to his deity and God himself through His Son Jesus Christ became the sinless human substitute His justice required. Jesus lived the perfect life we could never live, died the death we deserved and rose again on the third day, conquering sin, death, hell, Satan and all the powers of darkness.
The resurrection is proof of God’s acceptance of Christ’s substitutional sacrifice for us. It is the most important event in the history of the world. Only Christianity proclaims a risen Savior who conquered death and lives forever. Do not be deceived.
The absolute, unchanging and indisputable “TRUTH” for every living person is this:
“There is simply no solution to the human problem of sin and its eternal punishment, outside the grace of the one true and only living, Creator God and the sinless life, substitutional death and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
“For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
By God’s grace applied by the Holy Spirit through genuine repentance and saving faith in Jesus Christ, you have been reconciled to God, forgiven of your sins, declared righteous before the Father through the righteousness of His Son, born again by the Holy Spirit, made a new creation in Christ, delivered from the kingdom of darkness, adopted as a beloved child of the one true and only living Creator God, and made a fellow heir with Jesus Christ of the gift of eternal life.
You are all of these things in Christ! What a great gift of God’s grace!
Because you have believed the gospel and have been born again, you are a new creation in Christ. The old you no longer exists and everything about you has been made new. God has given you a new heart, a renewed mind, new desires, new attitudes, new character, a new identity, and a new way of living.
You no longer identify as who you are and what you have done. Instead, you find your identity in whose you are—in Christ—and in what He has done for you. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, you now seek to live out your faith each day with righteous thoughts, attitudes, and actions that are Christlike, pleasing to God, and bring Him glory.
And because you are a born again believer— no matter what happens in your life each day, always conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ! (from Philippians 1:27; emphasis added)
“Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment, no hell] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who have repented and put their faith and trust in Him as personal Lord and Savior].” — (Romans 8:1)
You have been saved!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
Just to be clear—
We will all die physically one day. Everybody does (except the prophets Enoch and Elijah). But our souls are eternal and will spend forever either in a place where God is (heaven) or a place where God is not (hell). We are living in a grace period between the first coming of Christ and His return, although we do not know the day or the hour, and your life on earth is brief and uncertain. The Gospel is not merely information to admire—it is truth that demands a response. The greatest tragedy in life is not poverty, sickness, failure, or death; it is to reject the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The greatest success is to know God through His Son. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). He also said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). The invitation is open today. Turn to Christ while there is still time. Trust Him completely. Receive the forgiveness, salvation, peace, and eternal life that only He can give.
Nobody is born a Christian. The flesh does not produce redemption. You don’t inherit it from your parents, nor do you magically become one over time.
Christianity is not a religion. It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Do not be confused by all the “religious” talk out there. There is only one true gospel.
A Christian is not simply someone who believes in God. Even the demons believe—and tremble in fear of God’s wrath to come. Genuine repentance and saving faith are required. Belief in Christ without repentance is not true salvation. It is the faith, trust and complete confidence in who Jesus is and what He has done for you. Turn to, trust in and rely on Jesus.
It’s not just joining and attending a church, following religious traditions, or even getting baptized in a group setting without even hearing about sin or grace or repentance or faith or surrendering your life to Jesus.
You don’t get baptized to “get saved,” you get baptized because you have been saved. You get saved when Jesus baptizes you with the Holy Spirit. The reality of the forgiveness of sins precedes the rite of baptism. Since we are united by faith with Him…. as water baptism symbolizes, His death and burial become ours. We have also been united with Him in his resurrection. Peter was obeying Christ’s command from Matthew 28:19 (The Great Commission) when he urged the people who repented and turned to Christ for salvation to identify, through the waters of baptism, with His death, burial and resurrection.
Everybody does not go to heaven when they die. Some are traveling on the broad road which leads to destruction. You won’t get there because you “think you’re a good person.” Your self-righteousness is also a sin. Only God is perfectly good—and perfectly good is the standard we all fall short of every day, but it only takes one sin to be a sinner.
We do not become angels when we die, we do not “get our wings,” and we will not be reunited with unbelieving family or friends in heaven. And family and friends who are saved won’t be reunited with you if you are not saved.
There are not millions of ways to be saved—only one. Works can’t save you, your family and friends can’t save you and you certainly can’t save yourself.
Salvation comes only by the grace of the one true, sovereign, living, Creator God—through faith in Jesus Christ. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). You cannot be saved and remain the same.
Right now, no matter where you are and what you’re doing, Jesus stands ready to forgive you, to cleanse you, and give you eternal life.
“At the acceptable time I listened to you,
And on the day of salvation I helped you.”
Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation.”— (2 Corinthians 6:2)
You may never have another moment like this.
Stay in the Gospel and trust the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do. Be persistent! Keep asking! Keep seeking! Keep knocking! Keep pleading!
Please do not live here and leave here without Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Too many people do! Do not experience the second death. Too many people will!
And eternity is a long, long time to be wrong!
Don’t be wrong!
