´I·m a good person. Why do I need salvation?µ
Romans 3:23- ´for  have `  and fallen short of the glory of Godµ.

The truth is that no matter how good we are or how many good things we do, we are all guilty of
committing sin and thus, condemned to die. Luckily, God has given us an escape plan!

´What is sin and why is it so serious?µ

Isaiah 59:1,2- ´behold the Lord·s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it
cannot hear; but your ` `
`` have made a separation between you and your God, and your ` 
have hidden his face from you so that he does not hearµ.

Romans 6:23- ´or the wages of ` is , but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lordµ.

Sin is willfully rebelling against God and his commandments. Whenever we sin, we are separating
ourselves from God, because he is holy and cannot be with sin. Since God is the one who gives and
sustains u
, once we separate ourselves from him, the consequence is death. The reason sin is so
serious is because we are separating ourselves from the source of life.

´How can I escape this death penalty an be saved?µ

John 3:16- ´or God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should
not perish but have eternal lifeµ.

Ephesians 2:8,9- ´or by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing· it is
the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

We are sinners who deserve to die! But since God loved us so much, he had mercy on us by
sending his only Son to suffer the penalty of death for us, so that we might have another chance
at life! He died our death so that we could live his life. This salvation is absolutely free! It is a gift
from God to us! There is nothing we can do to gain salvation, it simply a gift that we must
accept.
´How do I accept this free gift of salvation?µ
1.   that you are a sinner in need of God
2. u that Jesus Christ has died for you and wants to save you
