The Apostle Paul challenges us to live radically different than the culture around us… we used to be those who thought nothing of lying, cheating, and stealing to get ahead… but now we are those who are known for our honesty, industry, and generosity… all by grace… all for the glory of God!
The Gospel: 4 basic truths. (GOD – SIN – JESUS – REPENTANCE & OBEDIENCE)
1. GOD: There is a GOD – He is Perfect Holy and Just. He created you to know, love and serve Him.
2. SIN: You have infinitely offended Him by rebelliously living your life for yourself – SIN – and you are presently eternally condemned.
3. JESUS: But God, in love took the initiative to rescue you by sending JESUS Christ… to live your life (perfectly) and die your death (pay – penalty) to give you the forgiveness of your sins to make a relationship with the living God possible…
4. REPENTANCE & OBEDIENCE: IF you will REPENT (turn from your life of rebellion) and confess your sin to God, choosing now to FOLLOW Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior with your life… You will be born again and be given the right to become a Child of God.
