OUR SIN
We are all born with a sin nature. Because of our sin, we are unable to have a relationship with God without forgiveness.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God’s Gift
We can’t earn God’s forgiveness – it must be given. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven.
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
OUR RESPONSE
We must accept this free gift from God by committing our lives and heart to Jesus.
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9
A SYMBOL OF YOUR FAITH
Baptism shows others that you have been made new. It represents your old sinful life being washed clean because of your faith in Jesus.
“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4
