- Man's body was made from the dust of the Earth, but God breathed
into man His breath and man became a living soul. Gen. 2:7 - And
the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became
a living soul.
- Man is separated from God by his sin. Isaiah 59:2 - But your
iniquities have separated between you and your God . . .
- This separation will lead to death and judgment. Heb. 9:27 - And as
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment: 2 Thes. 1:8 & 9 - In flaming fire, taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and
from the glory of His power;
- God has provided one way for man to be saved from this judgment
and to have everlasting life. Because of His love for you He gave His
only begotten son to pay the penalty of your sin and the sin of all.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not
perish, but have everlasting life. 1 Pet. 3:18 - 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:
- Eternal salvation is God's free gift to those who will receive that gift,
God will change your heart and break the power of sin over your
life. Rom. 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6:14 -
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not
under the law, but under grace. Rom. 6:16 - Know ye not, that
to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, His servants
ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience until righteousness?
