If I’m a reasonably good person, why do I need faith?

Are you really ‘reasonably good’?

What’s behind the cross?

What is this salvation? Salvation is: The gift of forgiveness The gift of the Spirit The gift of eternal life

What does this mean for you?

• Are you open to seeing yourself as a sinful person? • Can you comprehend that Jesus, in an act of sacrificial love, died for you? • Does the Bible’s teaching about salvation (ie the gifts of forgiveness, the Spirit, and eternal life) make sense to you? • Does anything hold you back from trusting in Christ for salvation?
