Our Church

The Fremont Church of
Christ occasionally has Gospel meetings. We invite a Gospel preacher from
another Church of Christ to come and preach a whole week at our church. We start
the meeting on Sunday night and end on Friday night. Please stop by and visit
our site and see when the next meeting will be and who will be with us for the
week.

The real question is, "How do I come in contact with the grace of God and
receive this salvation?"
The New Testament tells us over and over again that we come into contact
with the grace of God and receive salvation through faith in the saving work of
Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21-26). Remember it is the grace of God shown in the life
of Christ which saves us. Our role is to accept this gift through saving faith.
True faith involves several specific actions. It involves confessing aloud
that Jesus is Lord and believing in our hearts that God raised him from the dead
(Romans 10:9-10). Faith involves repentance, the changing of our heart and life
to do the things of God (Acts 2:38; 3:19-20). Faith involves surrendering our
lives in baptism to the will of God for the forgiveness of our sins (Galatians
3:26-27; Acts 2:38; 16:29-34; 22:16). Faith also involves living with commitment
toward God and with compassion toward those around us (Galatians 5:6; James
2:14- 16). While we submit to God's will in these actions, God is at work
bringing us into his kingdom, his Church, forgiving and cleansing us of all our
past sins, and placing his Holy Spirit in us (Colossians 1:13- 14; Acts 2:38-41;
1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Titus 3:3-7; Romans 8:9-17, 26- 27). We become new people
(2 Corinthians 5:17), born of God to begin a new spiritual life of service for
him (John 1:10-13; 3:1-5).
It is important to remember there is not one thing we can do to earn our
salvation. These several actions do not cause our salvation to happen, they are
simply the ways that God has provided for us to receive the salvation given us
in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This point is clearly shown in
Romans 6 where Paul talks about baptism. Notice that the whole discussion on
baptism is framed by the concept of grace (verses 3 & 14)! Notice also that
baptism is not some arbitrary act that is done to be saved, but is actually a
participation, a sharing, in the saving death of Jesus Christ so that we can
share in his new life (verses 3-10). It is sharing in what Christ has done,
through our faith, that allows us to receive the grace of God already provided
for us in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
