We Are Created to Be a Friend of God

We Are Created to Be A Friend of God

Be Transformed by Renewing Your Mind


The Good News

Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have a relationship with God the Father. Jesus was sent because the Father knew no man can be perfect, so he sent his son to forgive us of ALL our sins and live a meaningful life of joy and peace.

Unfortunately, many of us have been hurt, betrayed, and used by others and still live miserable and defeated lives without peace and joy.

Our belief system still controls how we live, think, feel, and choose. Today is the first step to change this corrupt belief system.

We Were Created to Be a Friend of God

Finding Peace in God


We are complete only when we are in a relationship with God:

  • The man was created to have an intimate love relationship with His Creator. Matt. 22:37; John 15:9, 13
  • The man was created in God's image to know and enjoy God. Gen. 1:27; Pslam 16:11
  • The man was designed to live dependent upon God. John 15:5
  • Man was created to contain God's very life and live by that life. John 10:10
But somehow, many of us believed the lie causing tragic separation in man's relationship with God.... but this did not stop God from loving us.  He will never stop loving you, saved or not saved.

The only difference between being saved and not saved is that if you are saved, you become a child of God, a royal priesthood, and loved with everlasting love.  Most of all, you get all the benefits and promises and escape eternal death and torment. Not only that, you receive the Love of God through what Jesus demonstrated on the Cross.



Satan is the one who keeps you separated from God by reminding you who hurt you or tries to get you to blame God for your misfortunes. 

Remember the story of Adam and Eve!  What caused her to eat from the tree?  Was it because Satan made her believe that God was holding back on her?  Isn't Satan the accuser of us, God, and others?

His purpose is to get you to believe lies to keep you separated and not fulfill your destiny or the high purposes God has for you.

Their sin separated them from the love of God, but God never stopped loving them and made a way through his son. 

We were all born spiritually dead and separated from God.  When we learn about Jesus and invite Him in our hearts, then we are no longer separated, but the lies we believe from Satan do separate us from the truth.



You see, God took it upon Himself to restore our relationship with Him through his son.  He planned to restore us to a right relationship with Him.  Eph. 2:4-5

Thank goodness, through Jesus Christ, he gave us life as a payment for the sins of the whole world through Jesus Christ. His perfect sacrifice satisfied the Father because the Father God of Heaven wants a relationship with you. 

2 Corinthians 5:19 "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

Through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, God has forgiven us when we invite Jesus into our hearts.  When we fall short, we have access to the son for our forgiveness of sin.

Col. 2:13-14 "13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

It is a free gift to all who will receive the Son through believing and trusting in Jesus.

John 3:17-18 "17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Through this, we are deeply and unconditionally loved by God.

You might have grown up in a conditional loved home, but your Heavenly Father loves you unconditionally.  You do not have to work or perform for his love.  He loves you just for who you are.  Remember, He created you, and you are made in His image.  Rom. 5:8

God totally and completely accepts you.  This means he accepts you just for who you are.  That means he receives us to Himself with pleasure and responds to us kindly.

how to find peace with god

If you have not been saved or doubt your salvation, then please watch the video to receive Christ in your life and allow Him to wash you clean. Going to church does not get you saved. You must deliberately ask Jesus into your heart.



Step #1 You Must Believe in Jesus


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." Acts 16:31

Step #2 You Must Confess Your Sins


You must acknowledge that you are a sinner and you want Jesus to wash your sins away. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Step #3 You Must Repent (Turn away from your sins)


For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the gospel. Mark 1:15

Step #4 You Must Confess Jesus Before Men


If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10

Step #5 You Must Accept the Gift of Salvation


For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation 2 Corinthians 6:2

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come in the Name of Jesus. I thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, into this world to die and for raising Him from the dead so that I can have everlasting life.

I recognize Jesus as my Savior and as the Lord of my life. I repent of my sins and forgive those who have wronged me. I believe in my heart and will confess my belief in Jesus openly. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life.

I receive this gift by faith, in Jesus' name, Amen.

"I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance." - Jesus.
