Our Message
1. SIN HAS BROKEN OUR RELATIONSHIP
Adam, in the Garden of Eden, had an intimate and personal relationship with God. Adam, as a representative for all mankind, sinned and broke his and our relationship to God. We ALL became SINNERS deserving eternal DEATH!
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
(Romans 5:12)
"But your iniquities (sins) have separated between you and your God..
(Isaiah 59:2)
2. GOD LOVES YOU
God loves all men, women and children and desires to have a restored daily and personal relationship with them.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life"
(John 3:16)
3. NEED FOR A RESTORED RELATIONSHIP
Since man and his relationship was now broken, God needed someone who was WITHOUT SIN and willing to intervene for man in PAYING for the PENALTY of his sins. There was only one choice...His Son, Jesus Christ. No ONE was or is able to pay for any PART of THEIR SINS.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (I Timothy 2:5)
4. PENALTY PAID FOR OUR SINS
We were ALL MADE SINNERS because of Adam's disobedience. EACH and EVERYONE of us needed someone to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus did that for YOU, personally, on the cross.
"...Behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world."
(John 1:29)
5. RELATIONSHIP CAN NOW BE RESTORED
God was satisfied with the sacrifice of Jesus for YOUR sins. The opportunity for you to have your relationship to God restored is available NOW.
"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses (sins) unto them..."
(II Corinthians 5:19)
6. ACCEPT GOD'S PERSONAL INVITATION
God has restored the way back to Him. All you have to do now is by faith ACCEPT His PAYMENT for YOUR sins, ask Him to forgive you and let Him be your personal Lord and Saviour. Will you do that today?
"For whosover shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:13)
If you chose to accept Christ, please call us and let us know so we can help you grow in your new walk with the Lord
