  • 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?
