The Problem of Sin
Mankind has become alienated from God through rebellion and disregard for His spiritual principles. We cannot restore that broken fellowship by our own strength.
Sin has broken humanity’s fellowship with God, but Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to the Father through His sacrificial death and victorious resurrection.
All of us have sinned against God the Father, and sin breaks our fellowship with Him. Scripture teaches that sin has an eternal consequence: spiritual death and separation from God.
Mankind has become alienated from God through rebellion and disregard for His spiritual principles. We cannot restore that broken fellowship by our own strength.
Jesus Christ is the only way humanity can be reconciled to God the Father. He stands between sinful humanity and God as the one Mediator.
Christ became a sin offering for us and sacrificed His life on the cross so that we can be forgiven, reconciled to God, and redeemed by His blood. He rose in triumph over the grave and eternal death.
Jesus Christ alone died on the cross for our sins. He paid the penalty for sin and bridged the gulf between God and mankind.
Christ invites each person to respond to Him personally—to hear His voice, open the door, and receive Him.
The source material presents a simple biblical response to the Gospel: repent of sin, believe in Christ and His resurrection, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord.
Admit that you are a sinner and repent of your sins.
Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins and that God raised Him from the dead.
Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and invite Him to become Lord of your life.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I need You. I believe that You died on the cross for me. I repent of my sins and surrender my life to You. Forgive me of my sins, Lord Jesus, and wash me clean. I believe that You are the Son of God and You died on the cross at Calvary for my sins and rose again on the third day for my victory. I believe in my heart and make confession with my mouth that You, King Jesus, are my Lord and Saviour. I invite You to be the Lord of my life and heart. Amen.
The Gospel is an invitation to turn from sin, place your faith in Jesus Christ, and enter into restored fellowship with God the Father.
