What a glorious day, on Easter Sunday around 2000 years ago, when
Jesus Christ rose from the dead, to forever defeat sin and Satan,
and to give eternal life to an undeserving mankind. This is the gift
of Grace from God: that we can have eternal life - not because we
earn it or because we perform good works - but because we believe
that Jesus is the one and only Savior.
"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
At Cool Spring, Jesus Christ lives in its congregation, Church
staff, and individually in the hearts of every believer. As we have
often been reminded, "Where does Jesus live? In your heart!"
The excitement that the followers of Jesus must have felt when they
discovered his empty tomb, and that he had risen from the dead to
give salvation to all of mankind, continues to be present at Cool
Spring. While man can never be perfect, we know that our sins are
forgiven through Him. Through worship, Bible study, fellowship,
prayer, and faith, our lives are enriched every day, as He guides us
in life.
