Salvation

EXPERIENCE LIFE, LOVE,
AND GRACE IN JESUS

At Connexus, we believe that there is much more to this life than what meets the eye. We believe that God created everything in this world, including you and that Jesus truly loves you where you are at, no matter your situation or your past. Salvation is as simple as saying yes to Jesus and placing Him has the leader of your heart and life. We pray that you will step into the grace that Jesus has given each one of us and follow him. 


SALVATION IS THE START OF A RELATIONSHIP

Salvation is so much more than securing a place in Heaven: it’s the start of a vibrant, purpose-filled life with God right here and now. When we choose to follow Jesus, we’re surrendering control and admitting that life on our own isn’t enough. It’s saying, “I trust You, Jesus, to lead my life.” The beauty of salvation is that it’s a gift. A gift completely undeserved and freely given. And because it’s a gift, it cannot be lost. Romans 8:38-39 reminds us that nothing, no force in all of creation, can separate us from God’s love once we belong to Him: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

COMMON QUESTIONS

How are we saved?
Salvation is God’s gift to you. It’s not something you can earn or achieve by “getting right.” When you trust in Jesus' sacrifice for your sins and commit to following Him, you are saved.

As Ephesians 2:8-9 says: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
What happens after I'm saved?
Salvation is just the beginning of a lifelong journey and walk with God. After making the decision to follow Jesus, you’ll grow spiritually through prayer, reading the Bible, and connecting with a church community. You’ll also experience the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit to live a purpose-filled life and discover your God-given calling.
Who can be saved?
Everyone needs salvation. Paul wrote in his letter to the church at Rome in Romans 3:23 that "All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory."  God’s heart is for every person to have a relationship with His Son.

As 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us: “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”


What does it mean to repent?
Repentance is more than feeling sorry for sin—it’s means to do a complete 180 degree turn. It's a decision to turn away from a life of sin and align your life with God’s will. It’s a heart transformation that begins with acknowledging your need for forgiveness and leads to a changed life. (Acts 3:19)
Can I lose my salvation?
At Connexus Community, we believe that salvation is secure as long as you remain in faith with God. However, we do not believe in  the "once-saved, always saved" theology. We believe that a deliberate rejection of God or turning away from Him can lead to a loss of salvation. We encourage every believer to stay rooted in their faith and strive to live a life constantly pleasing unto the Lord. (Hebrews 6:4-6)

Ready to Begin Your Relationship with Jesus?

Romans 10:9 says it clearly: “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Having a personal relationship with Jesus is as easy as remembering the first 6 letters of the alphabet.
A- Admit you are sinner needing a Savior
B- Believe that Jesus Christ is that Savior and came to set men free from the bonds and enslavements of sin
C- Confess your sins to Him and ask for Him to change your heart
D-Declare that you accept Him as Lord and Savior and that you now are His and will serve Him only
THEN... you will
E-Experience the power of grace and live a transformative life
THEN... you will get to spend eternity by living
F-Forever in the presence of your Savior.

You can speak to Jesus in your own words or pray this simple prayer to be saved:
"Jesus, I know I’ve missed the mark and made a mess of my life, but I need You. I believe You died and rose again to save me, and I choose to follow You and surrender my life to Your will. I give You my past, my present, and my future. Thank You for forgiving me and giving me new life. Amen."

From this moment forward, you’re never alone. Jesus promises to walk with you every step of the way, giving you His Spirit to guide you and connecting you to a God who loves you unconditionally (Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 31:6).
