PHASE 2 – LIVE THE JOURNEY
2. Share the problem – That we have been separated from
God. Being at peace with God doesn‘t come automatically. By
nature, we are all separated from Him through the fall of man.
Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God‟s
glorious standard.
God is holy, but we are human and don‘t measure up to His
perfect standard.
3. Talk about God’s solution – Jesus and the cross. God‘s love
bridges the gap of separation between you and Him. When Jesus
Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the
penalty for your sins.
1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His
wounds you are healed.
4. Our response – To receive and Christ. You cross the bridge into
God‘s family when you accept Christ‘s free gift of salvation.
John 1:12 But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave
the right to become children of God.
To receive Christ, a person needs to walk the road of salvation:
Admit you‘re a sinner.
Ask forgiveness and be willing to turn away from your sins.
Believe that Christ died for you on the cross.
Receive Christ into your heart and life.
Follow Him and walk away from your past ways.
Now that we see how simple it actually is, lets remind ourselves
that there is no formula to salvation, as the price was paid once
and for all on the cross of Calvary. But you and I have a
responsibility to take our freedom, and share it with the world.
