I found these on a website, and thought I should share them with you. It's all about the basis of out faith...
First Truth: - GOD LOVES YOU
God loves you more than you can imagine and he wants a personal relationship with you. Here are some supporting quotes from the Bible:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, and that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
Yet to all who recieved Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10
Second Truth: - MAN IS SINFUL
Man is sinful and therefore separated from God. Since God is so holy, He cannot stand to be near sin and man can neither experience God's love directly nor have a personal relationship with Him while we remain sinful. When we chose to go our own way, we broke our relationship with God, and therefore do not deserve to go to heaven or indeed to live. Here are some supporting quotes from the Bible:
There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Romans 3:10-12
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23
The wages of sin is death.
Romans 6:23
Those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus...will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord...
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
Third Truth: - JESUS DIED FOR YOU
Jesus is God's solution to the separation between us and him. God's son died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins. All the punishment that should have come to us, instead went to him and left the path to God open to any who chose to take it. Here are some supporting quotes from the Bible:
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Jesus answered, 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred.
1 Corinthians 15:3-6
Fourth Truth - OUR PART
We must accept God's solution to our separation. Once we belive in him and made him the big #1 in our lives, he can then offer us his forgiveness and give us eternal life with him. There is no other way to get to God. Here are some supporting quotes from the Bible:
By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9
[Christ speaking] 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.'
