God created man for enjoyment and fellowship.
Man was created by God, in His image, for the purpose of enjoyment and fellowship.

************************************************************************************

Man sinned against God. God and man became separated by death.
Genesis 2 tells us that God commanded Adam not to eat of
the fruit of the tree or else, "you shall surely die."

Adam and Eve ate of the tree, gaining both PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL death
and eternal separation from God.

************************************************************************************

We are ALL sinners, separated from God.
Rom 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Have you ever sinned? Of course you have!
We are all sinners, by nature and by choice, and in need of salvation.
All religions teach that we should be good to earn God's favor.
And if we compare ourself to others, we may look pretty good.
BUT, compared to God's holy standards, we all
"come short of the glory of God."

************************************************************************************

Salvation is totally of God.
Romans 5:6-8 says, "Christ died for the ungodly... God demonstrates
His love for us by the fact that while we were sinners, Christ died for us."
We are weak, imperfect humans. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and holy.
He knows every thought and every deed. There's no "good works"
outweighing "bad works" system of being justified before God.

So, God fulfilled His plan. He came to earth as a man, Jesus.
He lived sinless and perfect, and gave Himself as our substitute sacrifice by
shedding His blood on the cross. God lavished His love on us in order that
we could be forgiven for our sins and spend eternity in heaven with Him

************************************************************************************

If you believe Jesus died for YOU, you can be saved.

With the death of Jesus on the cross God's punishment for sin was carried out.
It is His work to save us! Three days after His
death, He arose from the grave...He is alive, and He has POWER OVER DEATH!
We deserve hell; we cannot cross death. But Christ gains us heaven!
Our salvation is totally by the grace of God.

Eph 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

************************************************************************************

Do you believe it?
Do you believe that you are separated from God due to your sin?
Do you believe that Jesus alone can save you?

Rom 6:23 says, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We all deserve eternal death and separation from God, but when we believe on the works of Jesus, our Lord and Savior,
we are given the GIFT of eternal life (heaven) and a RELATIONSHIP with God.
God will then COUNT us as sinless. Our punishment has been taken care of. We stand before Him pardoned.
In order to receive that pardon, you must BELIEVE that
Jesus died for your sins on the cross, and God will forgive all your sins
and adopt you as His child! You will be reunited with Him forever!

John 3:36 says "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who
does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

************************************************************************************

Believe on Him alone! That's all there is to it! God's plan is simple . . . so
simple that we miss it! You can stand as though you are innocent before
Him. Receive His gift.
This is just the beginning of your relationship with Him. The Bible is God's letter to you!
