G.O.S.P.E.L

God created us to be with Him

God isnt just our creator, He wants a relationship with us…

John 1:1–4 (CSB)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

Psalm 100:3 (CSB)

Acknowledge that the Lord is God.

He made us, and we are his—

his people, the sheep of his pasture.

and god knew me, and loved me efore i was even born

Job 10:10–12 (CSB)

Did you not pour me out like milk

and curdle me like cheese?

You clothed me with skin and flesh,

and wove me together with bones and tendons.

You gave me life and faithful love,

and your care has guarded my life.

Jeremiah 1:5 (CSB)

I chose you before I formed you in the womb;

I set you apart before you were born.

I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

God created me to be with him…. but i messed up…

Our Sins Separate us from God

sin messes up our relationship with God…

Romans 5:12 (CSB)

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.

Romans 3:23 (CSB)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

i have lied, stolen, i’ve cheated and been unfair, i sinned before i knew Jesus and even now i still do. and as hard as i tried….

Sins cannot be removed by good deeds

Our best efforts cant patch up our relationship with God

i thought i could just serve, be nice to people and be ok and everything would work out… but,

Romans 3:10–12 (CSB)

as it is written:

There is no one righteous, not even one.

There is no one who understands;

there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away;

all alike have become worthless.

There is no one who does what is good,

not even one.

Ephesians 2:8–9 (CSB)

For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.

We cant cove the cost…

Paying the price for sin, Jesus Died and Rose again

The Love of God and Justice of God collide at the cross…

Leviticus 17:11 (CSB)

For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have appointed it to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement.

Hebrews 9:22 (CSB)

According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

1 John 4:10 (CSB)

Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life

John 3:16–18 (CSB)

For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

The Bible teaches that Salvation Comes through Faith ALONE in CHRIST ALONE!

There are no lost causes!

it’s not my righteousness, but his!

Romans 5:19 (CSB)

For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.

Hebrews 10:10 (CSB)

By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.

Life with Jesus starts NOW and lasts FOREVER

Jesus’ gift of life is PERSONAL and PERMANENT

John 17:3 (CSB)

This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent—Jesus Christ.

John 10:28 (CSB)

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand.

There is a total security in Jesus hands…

I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.

all it takes is faith,

Romans 10:9 (CSB)

If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

confession is a result of faith…

maybe youve made the decision to trust jesus but you dont know how to express that, you can pray with me. It’s not the words that do anything, its what you believe! Maybe you would say…

“Jesus, i know i’m a sinner, i know i need your grace. i Trust in who Jesus is, That He is God, that he Lived a perfect life, that he willingly died in my place. i believe that Jesus raised from the dead, showing his authority over it. and i believe Jesus has paid my debt. God i thank you for this gift

Rejection?
