The purpose of Team CBMX and what we do at the races is to fulfill the command of Jesus when he said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." in Matthew 28:19-20.

First, you need to know that no matter who you are or what you've done, that God loves you!  He told all of us this in
Romans 5:8 - "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

What we all need to realize is that all of us need Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, because all of us have sinned.  
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Romans 3:23  "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity
of us all."  Isaiah 53:6

There is a consequence for our sins...death!  "For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord."  Romans 6:23

The other reason why we all need Jesus Christ is because we cannot earn our way to heaven by the way we act or the things we do, whether you're a Christian or not.  God told us this in Ephesians 2:8-9 -- "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast."

To be a part of God's family, to be called his son or daughter he requires that you start with accepting Jesus Christ (his own son) as your Lord and Savior.  Jesus himself tells us that in John 14:6 "...I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."  If you accept him then God promises us this, "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God."  John 1:12

What is really cool about accepting Jesus into your life is that you'll become a new person!  This means that you'll look at things in your a life in a different way, you'll still be who you are because that how God created you.  This is explained in 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 -- "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Another thing we need to do in becoming a Christian is to be baptized.  Jesus set the example of this for us as stated in Matthew 3:13-15--"Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.  But John tried to deter him, saying, 'I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?'  Jesus
replied, 'Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.'  Then John consented."  And Jesus tells us to do the same in Matthew 28:19-20 (stated above).  Baptism is an important act for a Christian.  It represents what Jesus did for all of us, he was buried (just as we are when we go underwater) and then raised again (just as we are when we emerge from the water) to a new life.

There is a lot more to understand and those of us from Team CBMX want you to know as much as you would like to.  Please feel free to contact us via e-mail or visit with us at the track to talk more to us about our own decisions to become Christians and what God has done for us since doing so.
