Welcome to our community at Price Hill Church of Christ. Here, we seek to understand and embrace the profound promise of salvation offered through Jesus Christ. If you’re seeking answers, longing for peace, or wishing to start a new chapter in your life, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore what it means to be saved, why it’s necessary, and how you can receive this gift of eternal life.

How can I be saved? Saved from what?

Salvation is freedom from the burden of sin and its ultimate consequence—eternal separation from God. The Bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Sin impacts all aspects of our lives, but God, in His infinite love, offers us a way out through Jesus. Think of the Prodigal Son, who returned home to find forgiveness rather than condemnation. This story mirrors our own journey back to God, where instead of punishment, we find open arms waiting to welcome us back.

How can I be saved? How did God provide salvation?

God’s plan for our salvation was fulfilled through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As John 3:16 declares, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” This verse underscores the profound love God has for us, choosing to sacrifice His Son to atone for our sins. The crucifixion of Jesus, His death on the cross, and His resurrection are not just historical events but the pivotal act of love that offers salvation to all who believe.

How can I be saved? What do I need to do?

The path to salvation involves several clear steps according to Scripture. Acts 2:38 instructs us, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” To embrace this gift, you must:

1. Believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, recognizing Him as the only one who can forgive sins.
2. Repent of those sins, turning away from old behaviors and turning towards God.
3. Confess your faith openly, affirming your commitment to live according to God’s ways.
4. Be Baptized by full immersion, which symbolizes your old life being buried and rising to walk in a new life, just as Christ was resurrected.

As a member of our church family, you will not walk this path alone. We are here to join you in every step, offering guidance, support, and fellowship. Living a Christian life involves continuous growth and community, embodying the fruits of the Spirit like love, joy, peace, kindness, and self-control, as detailed in Galatians 5:22-23.

Join us at Price Hill Church of Christ, where we strive to live out the love of Christ every day. Whether you’re just starting to ask questions about faith or looking to deepen your spiritual journey, our doors and hearts are open. Together, let’s walk the path of salvation, grow in our faith, and share the love of Christ with all.
