THREE REASONS WHY YOU NEED JESUS

At the moment of birth every person's          Since the unbeliever has rejected

All believers receive the imputed credit         must rely solely on his own merit

of God's righteousness (+R) at the                  for salvation. All the good works of

moment of salvation, guaranteeing                the unbeliever add up to man's

eternal fellowship with the +R of Jesus         relative righteousness or -R

Christ. No believer will be present at the       (Isa. 64:6) which cannot have

Last Judgment, only unbelievers. Their          fellowship with +R and is the basis

Life and transferred to the Book of                 personal sins were judged at the

Works (Rev. 20:15).                                             cross, sin is not the issue in

                                                                                   condemnation (Rev. 20:13).

THE THREE P'S OF THE GOSPEL

THE PROBLEM (Sin)

Romans 3:23 states "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This means we have missed the mark of perfect righteousness that is required to have a relationship with God. We can never be good enough (Isa. 64:6).

THE PENALTY (Spiritual Death)

Romans 5:12 states "Therefore, just as through one man is entered the world, and death through sin, and so death spread among all men, because all sinned." This means that when Adam sinned through disobedience to God he developed a sin nature that is passed on to all of his offspring. This makes all of mankind spiritually dead, separated from God in time and eternity to come. Man is appointed once to die and then the judgment (Heb. 9:27; 2 Cor. 5:10).

THE PROVISION (Jesus Christ)

Romans 5:8 states "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; 16:31)." This means we are saved by grace "if" we accept the precious and righteous gift of God's Son Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Eph. 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Pet. 3:9).
