“And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once,
and after that the judgment,” (Hebrews 9:27)

● SPIRITUAL DEATH OR ETERNAL SEPAR ATION

FROM GOD.
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, the murderers,
the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and ALL LIARS, their
place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is
the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
 SINCE SIN SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD,
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?

MAN GOD
We often think that

RELIGION
GOOD WORKS Religion
GOOD MORALS Good Works
Good Morals
are the solution.
But there is only one solution
from God.
 WHY?
● HE IS THE
ONLY WAY.
In John 14:6, Jesus says, MAN GOD
“I am the way, and the
TRUTH #3 truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except
JESUS through Me.”

CHRIST ● HE COMPLETELY

for sins once for all,
ETERNAL the righteous for the
LIFE. unrighteous, in order to
bring you to God”
(1 Peter 3:18)
● HIS RESURRECTION
PROVES THAT HE IS THE
SON OF GOD, THE MESSIAH,
THE ONLY SAVIOR.
“the gospel concerning his Son, who was
descended from David according to the
flesh and was declared to be Son of God Merely knowing
with power according to the spirit of W H AT
holiness by resurrection from the dead,
Jesus Christ our Lord,” (Romans 1:3–4) CHRIST
● HE PROMISES HAS DONE
ETERNAL LIFE. FOR US
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal is not enough.
life; whoever disobeys the Son will not
see life, but must endure God’s wrath.”
(John 3:36)
 ● WE ARE

OUR FAITH this is not your own
IN JESUS doing; it is the gift of
God— not the result
CHRIST TO of works, so that
S AV E U S . no one may boast.”
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
Based on Ephesians 2:8–9, if salvation can be expressed in a formula,
which do you think is the correct one?

FAITH IN JESUS + GOOD WORKS

= S A LV AT I O N

FAITH IN JESUS + NOTHING FROM US

= S A LV AT I O N

Ephesians 2:10 tells us good works come as a by-product of salvation:

“For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.”
GOOD WORKS
are not the means to salvation, rather they
ARE THE
EVIDENCE OF
YO U R S A LVAT I O N .

1. Accepting His gift YO U H AV E E TE R N A L

2. Turning away from our sins
TRUST IN JESUS.
3. Surrendering our lives to Him

For the wages of sin is death, but “I write these things to you who
the free gift of God is eternal life believe in the name of the Son of
in Christ Jesus our Lord. God, so that you may know that
(Romans 6:23) you have eternal life.”
(1 John 5:13)
“If any want to become My
followers, let them deny
themselves and take up their cross
and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24)
T H I S W I L L D E T E R M I N E YO U R E T E R N A L D E S T I N Y.

Perhaps you have trusted God for many things, but today
He is asking you to trust Him alone to save you.
He is offering you forgiveness and eternal life,
and He wants to have a personal relationship with you.
