Providence Independent Baptist

Prov-i-dence (prov'i-dens), noun. [Latin: providentia < providere.]
1. [capitalized] God Himself (eg: "Vigilant over all that He has made, Kind Providence attends with gracious aid": Cowper's Table Talk, 249).
2. The foreseeing care and guardianship of God over His creatures.
3. A manifestation of God's care or direction (eg: "There's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow": Shakespeare's Hamlet, v. 2. 231).
4. An occurrence or circumstance regarded as specially ordained by God (eg: "I sincerely gave thanks to God for opening my eyes, by whatever afflicting providences, to see the former condition of my life": Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, i. 8).

He that acknowledges a creation and denies a providence, involves himself in a palpable contradiction; for the same Power which caused a thing to exist is necessary to continue its existence. Some persons admit a general providence,but deny a particular providence, not considering that a general providence consists of particulars. A belief in divine providence, is a source of great consolation to good men.

To understand why the Good News is so good, we first have to understand the bad news about ourselves. The fact is that we have to understand just exactly who we are. This is not easy to tell you, friend, but...

The Worse News
Your sin separates you from God, who can not look upon it. Your status as a wretched, vile sinner makes you utterly undeserving of God's mercy and grace. Completely unable to please God with anything you can do by yourself, you would be ashamed to stand on your own pitiful merits before a Righteous, Just and Holy Creator.

The Worst News
Your sin is innate to your very nature, and it has a very heavy price. Your sin pays you nothing but death and separation from God for all eternity.

Some Good News
Even though you don't deserve it, God loves you very dearly. In fact, He loves you so much that He sent His own Son Jesus Christ to pay the debt for all of your sins. This debt, death itself, was paid by Him. The cancellation of your debt is now offered to you as His free gift if you will accept it.

The Best News!
There is nothing you have to do to receive this gift other than believe it! Turn from your sins and trust your salvation to Jesus Christ, and He will save you!

9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

What Will You Do Now?
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross to pay for your sins. He rose from the dead and lives today, ready to save you, if you are willing to turn from your sins and put all your trust in Him and Him alone for salvation. Have you trusted Christ?
