Welcome To New Haven Church Of God In Christ
Knowing Jesus
God 's Love For You
God's desire is to have a loving, fruitful relationship with you.
Adam's fall into sin in the Garden, damaged the relationship that God had intended and designed to have with man. However, because He is a Holy and loving God, He put a plan in motion to mend, restore and renew what was lost. John 3:16 states that "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life " KJV
2 Peter 3:9 New International Version
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.
Why Jesus? The most of us have tried everything that society has to offer us: alcohol, drugs, sex, fame and power. Yet, we find ourselves in a place of dissatisfaction and emptiness.
Jesus offers peace of mind, hope and assurance that the world can't match. We can't say that you won't have any problems or face trials when you make Christ the center of your life, but there is a peace of mind knowing that you can cast your cares and burdens on Him and He will willingly carry them for you. We are all born in sin. Accepting Jesus gives us the opportunity be born again. That means you can have your sins forgiven and not held against you. There is nothing so bad that you may have done or said that will keep the Lord from receiving YOU as a joint heir with His son Jesus. If you are ready to travel a different path, we invite you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal saviour.
Below is a prayer with you in mind: Make the words personal...

God 's Love For You
Prayer To Accept Jesus As Saviour
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God came to earth to be the Saviour of the world, and that by His death on he cross, He paid the price for the sin of the world, so that whosoever believes on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thank You for Jesus and thank You for my free gift of salvation. Thank You that by believing on His name, I am forgiven of my sins and and brought into sweet fellowship with my heavenly Father.
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son to die on Calvary's cross in my place. Thank You that His innocent life was sufficient to pay the full price for my sin, and the sin of the world.
Lord, I turn from all my prideful sins and from everything that is dishonoring to Your name, and pray that I would grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus, until I come to a spiritual maturity, as day by day the Holy Spirit seeks to transform my lowly body into the likeness of Jesus.
Thank You, Father, for Your wonderful gift of salvation and thank You that by believing I am now Your child. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
