GOSPEL CROSS

1. WHO IS GOD ?

ONE TRUE & LIVING GOD – GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC & JACOB (EXODUS 1:6) GOD IS HOLY (LEVITICUS 19:2) GOD IS IN HEAVEN (ECCL 5:2, ISAIAH 66:1) GOD WANTS PEOPLE TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN (JOHN 14:2,3)

2. GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE GODMAN

GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE (GENESIS 1:26,27) GOD AND MAN HAD FELLOWSHIP IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN

3. SIN SEPARATED MAN FROM GOD GODMANSIN

GOD COMMANDED MAN NOT TO EAT THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL (GENESIS 2:16,17. MAN CHOSE TO DISOBEY GOD, SIN ENTERED THE HUMAN RACE. FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD WAS BROKEN ! GENESIS 3:1-7, ROMANS 5:12, 3:23, ISAIAH 53:6

THROUGH THE YEARS, MAN HAS TRIED MANY WAYS TO “GET RIGHT WITH GOD”, OR BE “RECONCILED” TO GOD, BUT HE CANNOT DO THIS HIMSELF.

4. MAN NEEDS A SAVIOUR

BECAUSE GOD IS HOLY, HE CANNOT SIN OR ALLOW SIN IN HIS PRESENCE. SHARE ABOUT GOD’S LOVE AND PLAN OF SALVATION, USING SCRIPTURES SUCH AS ROMANS 6:23, ROMANS 5:8, JOHN 3:16, HEBREWS 9:22, 28, ROMANS 10:9-13, LUKE 3:8

(THE LONG RED PIECE OF FELT IS PLACED OVER THE BLACK FELT SQUARE, FORMING A RED CROSS. THIS SHOWS HOW CHRIST’S DEATH ON THE CROSS BROUGHT `MAN AND GOD TOGETHER AGAIN. A WAY WAS MADE FOR THEIR FELLOWSHIP TO BE RESTORED. MAN MUST BELIEVE, REPENT OF HIS SIN AND RECEIVE JESUS AS HIS SAVIOUR. (Acts 2:38, 26:30)

THE ROAD OF DECISION

HEAVEN HELL

OLD SIN NATURE WE DO WRONG THINGS NATURALLY ROMANS 3:23 – ALL HAVE SINNED (DONE WRONG) AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

THE MOMENT YOU REALIZE YOU DO WRONG – YOU ARE “LOST” HEAVEN HELL

GOD MADE A WAY – HE SENT HIS ONLY SON JESUS TO DIE FOR OUR SINS HEAVEN HELL

YOUR ETERNAL LIFE WILL BEGIN THE MOMENT YOU INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE

THEN YOU WILL GET OFF SATAN’S ROAD AND STEP ONTO GOD’S ROAD WHICH ENDS IN EVERLASTING LIFE HEAVEN HELL

DO YOU BELIEVE? WOULD YOU RIGHT NOW INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR HEART? IF YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE, YOU NEED TO NOW.

THE BIBLE SAYS: THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMETH RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF IS THE WAY TO DEATH. PROVERBS 16:25 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, IAM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER (HEAVEN) BUT BY ME. JOHN 14:6
