What is "Salvation"?
We at Sycamore Baptist Church urge everyone to receive Jesus as their personal Savior! Jesus makes a true difference in our lives, both now and for all eternity. Each of us was created in the image of God. This gives us tremendous value to God, and He loves us--everyone. He has made a way for us to experience that love.
However, we have all sinned. We have all chosen to disobey God in our choices and our sin has built a barrier between us and God.
The good news is this: Jesus Christ died to remove the barrier that separates us from God! Sin against a Holy God demands punishment. Jesus took our punishment for us when He died on the cross. His sacrificial death paid the sin debt that we owed. We gain forgiveness when we receive Jesus Christ into our hearts by faith, whose shed blood has paid for the penalty of all our sins. God's Holy Spirit enters into us, and gives us true purpose and meaning in life now and a confident assurance that we will live in heaven forever.

SALVATION PRAYER
If you have felt God speaking to your heart through His Word, would you pray this prayer or in your own words:
"Dear God, I know I have sinned, and I do need your forgiveness. I do believe that you love me, and that you sent your son Jesus to die on the cross to pay for my sins. I ask for your forgiveness, and put my trust in Jesus, and right now ask Him to by my Savior. Thank you, God, for saving my soul, and by your help I will do my best to live for you."
