The problem: Sin
We are all born with a sin nature. Because of our sin, we are unable to have a relationship with God without forgiveness.
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (ESV)
The solution: Jesus
We can’t earn God’s forgiveness – it must be given. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (ESV)
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (ESV)
Romans 5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (ESV)
Our response: Repent and Believe
We must accept this free gift from God by committing our lives and heart to Jesus.
Mark 1:15
and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” (ESV)
Romans 10:9–10
[9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. (ESV)
