The Gospel
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.
We were born under the power of sin's control.
- Admit that you are a sinner.

Romans 6:23a "...The wages of sin is death..."
Sin has an ending. It results in death. We all face physical death, which is a
result of sin. But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God,
and will last for all eternity. The Bible teaches that there is a place called
the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever. It is the place
where people who are spiritually dead will remain.
- Understand that you deserve death for your sin.

Romans 5:8, "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"
When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life. He did all this because He loved us and gave Himself for us!
-Give your life to God... His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only
hope to have forgiveness and change. His love bought you out of being a slave to sin. His love is what saves you -- not religion, or church membership. God lovesyou!

“If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn’t it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death.” -Unknown

Jesus said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Mat.9:37).
Jesus also said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” (Mat. 28:19).
He commands us to go to the people of this world and share the gospel with them. Share that "cure" for the eternial wages of death. This could be sharing the "cure" where you are at, in your school, your workplace, your community, but especially in places where they have never heard.
