Recognize that sin separates you
from God and others.
SIN is walking our own way in rebellion
against God's will. When we walk away
from God, we walk away from life.
>Everyone Has Sinned
Since we've compiled this long and sorry
record as sinners (both us and them) and
proved that we are utterly incapable of living
the glorious lives that God wills for us.
Romans 3:23 (MSG)
>Sin Brings Death
Work hard for sin your whole life and your
pension is death. But God's gift is real life,
eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master.
Romans 6:23 (MSG)
As sinners we futilely try to find life's true meaning in the wrong ways and places.
>Our Own Efforts Cannot Save Us
Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's
God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go
around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!
Ephesians 2: 8-9 (MSG)
