God is holy and good
God created us and owns our lives. He is holy, righteous, loving, and true.
We have sinned
Sin is not only doing bad things. It is rejecting God’s rule over us. The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Sin separates us from God
Because God is holy, sin cannot simply be ignored. We need forgiveness, rescue, and a new heart.
Jesus Christ came to save sinners
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived without sin, died on the cross for sinners, and rose again from the dead.
Salvation is by grace through faith
We cannot earn eternal life by being religious or doing enough good works. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received by faith in Jesus Christ.
God calls us to repent and believe
To repent means to turn from sin and turn to God. To believe means to trust Jesus Christ personally as Savior and Lord.
Simple summary: We are sinners. Jesus is the Savior. He died and rose again. God saves all who turn to Christ in faith.
