The Gospel: A Bridge to Eternal Life
The person who believes:
1. Has eternal life
2. Does not come into judgment
3. Has passed out of death into life
Will you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord today?
TO DO SO YOU MUST...
1. Admit that you have sinned against God and ask Him for forgiveness.
2. Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Who died for you on the cross, rose from the dead, and is Lord.
3. Call upon Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.
- God created man to honor, serve, and fellowship with Him. THE BIBLE SAYS..."Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." (Revelation 4:11)
- Man chose to sin against God rather than serve Him. THE BIBLE SAYS..."For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) What does it mean to sin against God? Sin is breaking God's law (I John 3:4). We sin by doing what God has commanded us not to do, or by not doing what God has told us to do.
- Sin's Penalty is death. THE BIBLE SAYS..."For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23) When man chose to disobey God, the result was death. The idea of death is separation.
- How can we ever have eternal life? THE BIBLE SAYS..."Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us." (Titus 3:5) "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves." (Ephesians 2:8)
- Jesus Christ, God's sinless Son, was sent by the Father to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross. THE BIBLE SAYS..."But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit." (I Peter 3:18)
- How do we cross the bridge to Eternal life? We must receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. THE BIBLE SAYS..."Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out," (Acts 3:19) "for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13) Jesus himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) In order to receive Jesus Christ as Lord, you must repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus Christ alone as the only hope of eternal life.
- God's Promise: Eternal Life Jesus Christ said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)
