| The Gospel of Jesus Christ: |
| "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God..." Romans 3:23 |
| As it is written,There is none righteous, no, not one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Romans 3:10-12 |
| For the wages of sin is death.... Romans 6:23a. |
| ......but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23b |
| In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 |
| Who created this world? |
| Who created you? |
| Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:3 |
| For by Him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 |
| This is what the Lord says-He who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you.... Isaiah 44:2 |
| Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..... Jeremiah 1:5 |
| What happened to separate man from God? |
| Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned... Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. Romans 5:12-14 Referring to the Fall of Man in Genesis Chapter 3 |
| Did God stop caring about you? |
| The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 |
| 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 |
| What is the penalty for your sin? |
| If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 |
| What if you are a "good" person? |
| What is righteousness? |
| Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. Matthew 25:46 |
| Then He will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41 |
| All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all OUR righteous acts are like filthy rags..... Isaiah 64:6 |
| For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one Man the many will made made righteous. Romans 5:19 |
| Then you will understand what is right and just and fair-every good path. Proverbs 2:9 |
| Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. 1 Timothy 1:15 |
| But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. Titus 3:5 |
| How is righteousness gained? |
| 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. Ephesians 2:8-9 |
| We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him (the Savior) the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6 |
| It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth....Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 |
| They replied, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household'. Acts 16:31 |
| However, to the man who does not work, but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. Romans 4:6 |
| Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him. Romans 4:7-8 |
