9. Sin
is
doing
anything
that
breaks
God’s
laws.
Everyone
who
sins
breaks
the
law;
in
fact,
sin
is
lawlessness.
1
John
3:4
(NIV)
10. Sin
is
anything
we
say
that
is
displeasing
to
God.
But
I
say
to
you
that
for
every
idle
word
men
may
speak,
they
will
give
account
of
it
in
the
day
of
judgment.
For
by
your
words
you
will
be
jus5fied,
and
by
your
words
you
will
be
condemned.”
MaY
12:36-‐37
NKJV
11. Sin
is
anything
we
think
that
is
displeasing
to
our
Loving
God.
The
thought
of
foolishness
is
sin:.
.
.
Prov
24:9
KJV
12. Sin
is
not
doing
some
things
we
should
do.
Therefore,
to
him
who
knows
to
do
good
and
does
not
do
it,
to
him
it
is
sin.
James
4:17
NKJV
13. Sin
is
Universal
• Rom
3:23
says,
“For
all
have
sinned
and
fall
short
of
the
glory
of
God,
• According
to
this
verse
who
sins?
EVERYONE!!!
14.
If
Sin
is:
• Breaking
God’s
laws
• Thinking
that
does
not
please
God
• Words
that
are
not
pleasing
to
God
• Not
doing
the
good
we
know
to
do.
.
.
It
is
preYy
EASY
to
SIN!
15. What
are
the
Consequences
of
our
sin?
• Sin
MUST
be
punished
by
a
perfect
and
good
GOD
For
the
wages
of
sin
is
death,
but
the
gid
of
God
is
eternal
life
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
Rom
6:23
NKJV
16. Do
you
know
what
the
word
WAGES
means?
• Wages
are
what
we
get
for
what
we
do
17. Rom
6:23
For
the
wages
of
sin
is
death.
.
.
So
our
wages
(what
we
get
for
what
we
do)
for
our
sin
is
death.
18. The
only
punishment
God
has
for
SIN
is
the
death
penalty.
• Death
for
sin
is
not
about
dying
physically
• It
refers
to
a
placed
we
call
Hell
14
Then
Death
and
Hades
were
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire.
This
is
the
second
death.
15
And
anyone
not
found
wriYen
in
the
Book
of
Life
was
cast
into
the
lake
of
fire.
Rev
20:14-‐15
NKJV
19.
The
good
news
is.
.
.
GOD
LOVES
YOU!
• God
does
not
want
you
to
die
for
your
sin
• God
does
not
want
you
to
go
to
Hell
20. So
What
Has
God
Done
in
His
Love
for
US
To
HELP
US?
21. SALVATION
PROVIDED
STEP
2
God
Loves
us!
He
did
something
to
help
us!
He
provided
for
our
salva5on.
22. GOD
LOVES
YOU!
• God
provided
for
our
salva5on
by
sending
His
son
into
this
world.
• He
sent
His
son
to
be
our
Savior.
For
God
so
loved
the
world
that
He
gave
His
only
begoYen
Son,
that
whoever
believes
in
Him
should
not
perish
but
have
everlas5ng
life.
John
3:16-‐17
NKJV
23. Who
is
God’s
Son?
JESUS
• Jesus
is
God’s
Son
whom
God
sent
to
save
the
world
from
their
sin
25. Jesus
lived
the
perfect
life
• Because
Jesus
is
God
He
is
the
only
person
who
never
sinned.
• Heb
4:15
For
we
do
not
have
a
High
Priest
who
cannot
sympathize
with
our
weaknesses,
but
was
in
all
points
tempted
as
we
are,
yet
without
sin.
NKJV
• Because
He
had
no
sin
of
His
own
He
did
not
have
to
be
punished
for
sin.
• Because
He
had
no
sin,
He
could
take
the
punishment
I
deserved
for
My
Sin
upon
himself.
26. Jesus
Died
for
our
sins
• Jesus
died
on
the
cross
• For
I
delivered
to
you
first
of
all
that
which
I
also
received:
that
Christ
died
for
our
sins
according
to
the
Scriptures,
1
Cor
15:3
NKJV
• He
died
for
our
sins!
27. Jesus
arose
from
the
dead!
• Jesus
defeated
death
and
hell
• His
resurrec5on
promises
us
everlas5ng
life!
28. Jesus
Ascended
to
Heaven
and
is
there
preparing
a
place
for
us!
• "Let
not
your
heart
be
troubled;
you
believe
in
God,
believe
also
in
Me.2
In
My
Father's
house
are
many
mansions;
if
it
were
not
so,
I
would
have
told
you.
I
go
to
prepare
a
place
for
you.
3
And
if
I
go
and
prepare
a
place
for
you,
I
will
come
again
and
receive
you
to
Myself;
that
where
I
am,
there
you
may
be
also.
John
14:1-‐3
NKJV
29.
Jesus
is
coming
again
soon!

if
I

John

30. Jesus

now
in
His
Holy
Spirit
and
wants
to
Come

your
Heart!
For
where

MaY

NKJV
31. Review
• Why
do
we
need
to
be
saved?
• Because
of
Sin!
• How
did
God
provide
for
our
Salva5on?
•
• He
sent
Jesus
Christ
to
be
our
Savior.
38. So
what
do
you
do
if
someone
wants
to
give
you
a
gid?
You
TAKE
it!
39. God
has
a
gid
for
you
that
He
wants
you
to
take!
• His
gid
is
everlas5ng
life.
• He
wants
us
to
receive
it.
• The
problem
is
that
this
gid
is
invisible,
but
is
very
real.
40. How
do
we
receive
this
invisible
gid
from
God?
• Repentance
Toward
God!
• FAITH
in
Jesus
Christ!
41. Repentance
means
to
CHANGE!
It
may
be
a
change
in
direc5on
or
in
mind
or
both.
42. So
Repentance
Means:
• To
be
sorry
for
our
sin,
but
it
is
more...
• It
means
to
be
sorry
and
to
tell
God
you
are
sorry
for
your
sins,
but
it
s5ll
means
more…
• It
means
to
say
we
are
sorry
and
to
turn
toward
God
and
start
living
to
please
Him!
43. SO
.
.
.WHAT
IS
FAITH?
• Faith
is
res5ng
on
God’s
promise.
• (Like
simng
on
a
chair)
• Faith
is
taking
God
at
His
Word.
• (Like
jumping
into
a
Fireman’s
net)
• Faith
is
trus5ng
God
to
do
what
He
said.
44. The
Bible
Says:
• 8
For
by
grace
you
have
been
saved
through
faith,
and
that
not
of
yourselves;
it
is
the
gid
of
God,
• 9
not
of
works,
lest
anyone
should
boast.
Eph
2:8-‐10
NKJV
45. God
offers
us
salva5on
As
a
free
Gid!
• We
receive
this
gid
by
repentance
toward
God
for
our
sins
.
.
.
• .
.
.and
faith
in
Jesus
Christ
as
our
Savior.

47. The
Ques5on
of
the
Day
Do
you
want
God’s
gid
of
salva5on?
49. How
do
we
accept
God’s
gid
through
repentance
and
faith?
We
do
it
through
prayer.
50. What
is
prayer?
• Prayer
is
talking
to
God.
• Prayer
is
telling
God
• how
we
feel…
• what
we
believe…
• what
we
need…
• what
we
want.
51. Through
Prayer
we
express
our
faith
to
God
and
call
on
Him.
For
"whoever
calls
on
the
name
of
the
LORD
shall
be
saved.”
Rom
10:13
NKJV
52. The
Bible
Says:
For
God
so
loved
the
world
that
He
gave
His
only
begoYen
Son,
that
whoever
believes
in
Him
should
not
perish
but
have
everlas5ng
life.
John
3:16
53. •
For
God
did
not
send
His
Son
into
the
world
to
condemn
the
world,
but
that
the
world
through
Him
might
be
saved.
John
3:17
54.
"He
who
believes
in
Him
is
not
condemned;
but
he
who
does
not
believe
is
condemned
already,
because
he
has
not
believed
in
the
name
of
the
only
begoYen
Son
of
God.
John
3:19
55.
Does
this
make
sense
to
You?
• Have
you
sinned?
• Do
you
believe
Jesus
Died
for
your
sin?
• Do
you
believe
you
need
to
be
saved.
•
• Do
you
want
to
receive
His
gid
of
salva5on?
