In addition to these masterfully performed songs, the God So Loved the World CD includes vocalist Heidi Strand’s testimony and a clear, concise gospel presentation.

As a child, I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. However, I spent many years putting most of my effort into the acts of Christianity. There was no maturity or depth in my walk with Christ. The busyness of my life continued to take priority over advancing my relationship with Christ to a more meaningful and fulfilling level. I was comfortable living a life of the world and had no real understanding of how much I was missing.

It wasn’t until much later that I really began to understand the power of God’s love for me. As I realized God’s great love for me, I started to see people in a different light. I began to reach out to people just like me – people who may experience momentary earthly happiness but need to experience the fulfillment of heavenly joy. My prayer is that this CD will help you understand the truth of Romans 5:6-8: “You see, just at the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly … God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Christ died for me, just as He died for the world – and for you. All He asks of us is to embrace His love and let it change our lives.

If you are ready to accept Christ as your Savior, it’s as simple as ABC:

Admit your need of forgiveness

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)

Believe in Christ

“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved (Acts 16:31)

Commit Yourself to Him

“To all who received Him … He gave the right to become children of God

(John 1:12)

You might want to say a prayer like this:

Dear Jesus, I know that I need you to forgive my sins and change my life. I believe you died for my sins and rose again to give me life. I want to learn to trust and follow you as my Savior and Lord of my life from this moment on. Amen.
