Welcome to Cromer!
Our town is famous for many reasons. It is a delightful holiday
location often described as the "Gem of the Norfolk Coast". It has
a beautiful sandy beach and a famous award winning pier. It is also
home to a major east coast Lifeboat.
A
recent £3 million pound investment programme by the RNLI
has made our Lifeboat station in Cromer one of the most up to date
stations in the country and has put our crew at the cutting edge
of lifesaving technology. We are justifiably proud of our lifeboat
and her crew. Since the inception of the service in Cromer over
900 lives have been saved. This lifesaving service, rendered so
sacrificially, results from the fact that there are people who need
to be saved and we have the means whereby they can be saved.
Just a slight acquaintance with history and some knowledge of daily
news will tell us that these facts are true in society as a whole.
Gods verdict on the whole human race is that "all have sinned and
come short of the glory of God". Sin is a failure to obey God and
to keep His commandments.
Our lifeboat crew is here to save lives, they hate the idea of
anyone being lost. God describes our state in sin as being LOST,
yet the Bible shows us how we can be SAVED. Jesus Christ came to
earth nearly two thousand years ago to "save sinners". One of his
Apostles said to a man about to commit suicide "believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and you will be saved".
The initials RNLI spell salvation for persons in danger at sea.
Jesus spells SALVATION for all who confess their sin and seek his
mercy. Saved by the Cromer Lifeboat, over 900 persons can claim
that. Saved by the Lord Jesus Christ is true for millions worldwide
and throughout time.
IS IT TRUE FOR YOU?
