Repent – The Kingdom Opened

The Kingdom Gospel of Jesus

John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9; Mark 1:15; Romans 10:9–10

That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved; Romans 10:9

Faith without works is dead” James 2:26

In Creation, God made us to reflect His love and rule with Him. Through Rebellion, we chose sin and were separated from Him. Yet God gave a Promise of rescue through a coming King. Christ the King came, lived sinlessly, died, and rose again. Now all are called to Believe, Repent, and through Baptism, begin new life. As we Follow Jesus, we live by His Spirit and await His Return to restore all things.
