The Biggest Decision Of Your Life!Sample
“We All Need a Savior”
When God created Adam and Eve, He made them without sin and in perfect relationship with Him. When they disobeyed God’s command in chapter three of Genesis, they brought sin into their lives, and also to the entire human race. Romans 3:23 describes the far-reaching impact of Adam and Eve’s decision.
“... for all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
No one is exempt from sin and its effect; every one of us is guilty. As a result, we are all separated from God. Our sin also results in an eternal consequence.
“For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23a
Because of Adam and Eve’s decision to disobey God, death became inescapable for them and all of their descendants (the human race); both physically and spiritually. After their failure, God was faced with a decision: to allow sin to run its course with mankind, resulting in the extinction of the human race, or to provide a means to save mankind from sin’s grasp. Thankfully, as the ultimate expression of His love and grace, God provided a means of salvation through His Son.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
“...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23b
Apart from Jesus Christ, mankind is destined for both physical and spiritual death; there are no exceptions. But for those of us who are in Christ, physical death still awaits us, but spiritual death (Hell) does not. Rather, eternal life in Heaven awaits us after we leave this earth. Through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the dead, we escape the spiritual penalty of sin!
