Part II. Proclaim Christ

All Have Sinned

Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God,

Isaiah 53:66
66 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Sin’s Penalty

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hebrews 9:27-28
27 Just as man is destined to die once,
and after that to face judgment,
28 so Christ was sacrificed once
to take away the sins of many people;
and he will appear a second time,
not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation
to those who are waiting for him.

Christ Paid Penalty

Romans 5:88
88 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Peter 3:18
18 For Christ died for sins once for all,
the righteous for the unrighteous,
to bring you to God.
He was put to death in the body
but made alive by the Spirit,
Salvation not by works

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith-
-and this not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Titus 3:55
55 he saved us,
not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of his mercy.
He saved us through the washing of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

Must Receive Christ

John 1:12
12 Yet to all who received him,
to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God--

Revelation 3:20
20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door,
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Assurance of Salvation

1 John 5:11-13
11 And this is the testimony:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
12 He who has the Son has life;
he who does not have the Son of God
does not have life.
13 I write these things to you
who believe in the name of the Son of God
so that you may know that you have eternal life.

John 5:24
24 "I tell you the truth,
whoever hears my word
and believes him who sent me
has eternal life and will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.
