ABOUT JESUS
You will hear a lot about Jesus here at Uniontown.
That’s not because He was a fantastic leader, or an amazing teacher, or a highly moral man. While all of those things are true about Jesus, you can find that to be true in other men and women around the world today.
No, you’ll hear a lot about Jesus here at Uniontown because we love to celebrate the Good News, that is called the Gospel: that though we were separated from God because of our sin, and helpless to do anything about it ourselves, God loved us and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who died for us, and rose from the grave, defeating sin and death forever and giving those who would trust in Him a personal relationship with God.
So what does it mean to trust in Him?
Trusting in Jesus means that Jesus is your King, Lord, Savior, and Friend. He invites you into a personal relationship with Him. And that relationship isn't based on how good you are, but it is based on who Jesus is and what He has done for you through His life, death and resurrection. The Bible says if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved (Romans 10:9). Trusting looks like this:
A - Admit that you are a sinner in need of a Savior. By nature we are dead in our sins and rebellious against God. There is nothing we can do to bring us into right standing with Him.
B - Believe deep in your heart that when Jesus chose to die on the cross as a payment for your sin it counted for you.
C - Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and Savior; publicly proclaiming that only by grace through faith in Jesus can you have a right relationship with God.
And once you admit, believe and confess, you can never lose your salvation.
You're not alone.
If you've recently trusted in Jesus Christ, we'd love to celebrate with you! This journey is not meant to be walked alone. If you would like someone to come alongside you in the coming months - to pray with you, read the Bible with you and support you as you take your next steps - we would love to connect you with someone in our church family.
