GOD LOVES US. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son . . . ” (John 3:16)
WE ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD BECAUSE OF OUR SIN. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR US. Christ’s death on the cross paid for our sinfulness. And because He conquered sin and death, He offers us all Eternal Life with Him. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
WE MUST ACCEPT THIS TRUTH PERSONALLY. We must believe in Jesus Christ, and only Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins. Nothing else will work. And when we accept Him into our hearts God accepts us as His children. “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9) “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (John 1:12)
