Following Christ

When Jesus walked the earth, teaching, healing, loving, he was absolutely a fully human person. He was also totally God at the same time. The New Testament is clear that, if you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.

That doesn’t mean that God is a first century, middle-eastern, Jewish man. It means that God seeks to be in God’s creation. God pursues human beings, humbles God’s self, lives within a loving community, cares for, forgives, and ultimately, sacrifices for the sake of others.

No one but Jesus can be this God-man. While many seek to follow him, Jesus Christ is the only person who can intervene between God and human beings. Jesus is unique. While it is difficult to fully understand, his unique sacrifice by dying on a cross in Jerusalem in the first century, restores a relationship between God and those who believe in Jesus and receive him, throughout history. No one and nothing else can do this.

While there are many questions about Jesus, salvation, God, we think one of the most misunderstood questions and its answers is this, “What does it mean to believe in and receive Jesus?” You hear it said in churches and by Christians all the time. But, what does it mean. Many of us at RBCPC are here because we believe that it must mean more than thinking it is true. There must be life changing significance associated with being restored to the loving God who made us.

We invite you to explore this website and see all the ways we are seeking to live out this transforming reality. And we invite you to open your own heart to the possibility that God is pursuing you, humbling God’s self enough to let you find him here, and God wants to live in a loving, caring, forgiving, relationship with you. Is that worth more exploration?
