"PERFECT LOVE"

>>>How do people show love to each other?

>>>Human love is flawed.

ROMANS 5:7 “For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—”

>>>This verse confirms a limit to human love-not dying for even good people!

>>>Attention goes to God

ROMANS 5:8 “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

>>>To understand power of this verse, we must understand what it means to be sinners.

>>>We read that God created the world-and called it good.

>>>Humans made in God’s image

>>>Adam/Eve eat fruit.

*We all serve ourselves in sin.

ISAIAH 53:6 “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

*When we mess up-fix with sin

>>>Sin must be punished

*For the presence of God there must be absence of sin.

>>>”While we were sinning” Christ took our punishment.

>>>Christ rose-salvation through risen Savior!

>>>How can we be saved?

*Repent (turn away)

*Faith in Christ
