• THERE ARE 7 THINGS GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW

1. GOD'S PURPOSE

God created you to honour, serve and have fellowship with Him.

The Bible says:

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."

(I Corinthians 10:31)

"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)

2. MAN'S PROBLEM

Man choose 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.

The Bible says:

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." (I John 3:4)

3. SIN'S PENALTY

When man chose to disobey God, the result was death. The basic meaning of death is separation.

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)

The are three types of death, or seperation, that result from sin.

The Bible says:

SPIRITUAL DEATH separates a person from the life of God.

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;" (Ephesians 2:1)

PHYSICAL DEATH separates a person's soul from his or her body.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" (Hebrews 9:27)

ETERNAL DEATH separates a person, both soul and body, from God forever

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:15)

4. MAN'S PURSUIT

Throughout history individuals have tried many ways to gain or earn eternal life. But every attempt has been unsuccessful.

The Bible says:

"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 14:12)

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, . . ." (Titus 3:5a)

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9)

5. CHRIST'S PAYMENT

God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ was sent by the father to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross in our place. He was our sinless substitute.

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)

Jesus is the Saviour of ALL PEOPLE - He is now available to be YOUR SAVIOUR!

6. YOUR PARDON

In order to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you must  first repent of your sins.

The Bible says:

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19)

Secondly you need to believe in Jesus Christ:

• who is God the Son
• who died in your place
• who rose again bodily from the dead

7. GOD'S PROMISE

The free gift of eternal life that is offered by God is only made available by His grace.

The Bible says:

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"(Titus 1:2) 

Will you take God at His Word and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today?

1. Then 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 of Calvary, and rose from the dead, and is Lord.
3. Call upon God to save you.

"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)
