Steps to Peace with god

At Temple Baptist Church, we believe that every person was created for a life-changing relationship with Jesus—one that brings peace, purpose, and eternal hope. God made a way for us to experience His love fully, but sin separates us from Him. The good news is that through Jesus Christ, we can be restored.

1. GOD’S PURPOSE: PEACE & ETERNAL LIFE

God loves you and created you to live in a relationship with Him. His desire is for you to experience His peace now and forever. The Bible says:
“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” – Romans 5:1
“For 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

2. THE PROBLEM: SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD

Though God designed us to know Him, our sin—choosing our own way instead of His—has broken that relationship. Because of sin, we are spiritually lost and unable to save ourselves.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 6:23

3. GOD’S SOLUTION: JESUS CHRIST & THE CROSS

Because of His relentless love, God sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue us. Through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and made a way for us to be reconciled with God.
“But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” – 1 Timothy 2:5
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” – 1 Peter 3:18

4. OUR RESPONSE: RECEIVE & TRUST IN JESUS

Salvation is not something we earn—it is a gift of grace received through faith. To accept this gift, we must turn from our sin, trust in Jesus, and surrender our lives to Him.
“Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” – John 1:12
“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” – Romans 10:9
“For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift” – Ephesians 2:8
