SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD

There is none righteous, no not one; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3: 10, 23).

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6: 23).

GOD'S INSTRUCTION

Unless you repent you will all likewise perish (Luke 13: 3).

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5: 8).

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3: 16).

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast (Ephesians 2: 8-9).
