The Coventry Baptist Church family would like to share with you the greatest gift ever given to mankind—the gift of Jesus Christ. Below is the road you may take to have eternal life in heaven.   

Step 1:  
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  John 3:16 

Step 2:  
Man is sinful and separated from God  Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life.

“The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 6:23

Step 3:  
Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin.  Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.

“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:8

“Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one comes to the Father but through Me.”  John 14:6

Step 4:  
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.”  John 1:12

“That is you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God 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 can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. (Prayer is talking with God.)

 Lord Jesus, I need.  Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.  I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord.  Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life.  Take control of the throne of my life.  Make me the kind of person you want me to be.
