SALVATION

We at SEMSAR believe in the saving work of Jesus Christ, and that relationship with Him, through belief in His death, burial, and ressurection, is the only way that sinful man can approach a Holy and Righteous God. The steps outlined below bear witness to the truth of the diety of Jesus Christ. Five minutes of your time, to see what the Bible has to say about salvation, will determine your eternity. Please consider these words carefully, as they are the difference between life and death. We hope to see you in the Kingdom.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Who Needs to be saved?
