What is Salvation?

Salvation is a gift from God to mankind. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only through Jesus' death on the cross when he took every sin upon himself (1 Peter 2:24) can we be forgiven and saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life by faith.

Learning about who Jesus is and the significance of his ministry and resurrection is a vital part of Christianity. The best way to learn about him is through the Bible, God's written Word to all mankind. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living and because it is inspired by God, we honor and abide by the Word as the ultimate truth for our faith.

A lamp to our feet

Reading the Word

We believe the Word of God is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path (Ps. 119:105) at Shoreline Church. Hebrews tells us, “the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Heb. 4:12).

We primarily use the NIV version in our services across our campuses. Though there are many versions of the Bible, they all tell the same transformational message of God sending his son, Jesus, to give us new life. Other versions we recommend are ESV for a word-for-word translation and NLT for a paraphrased translation.

You can order bibles from Mardel or Amazon online, or stop by our Welcome Centers at our North and South campuses to get a bible on Sunday.
