NEW LIFE IN CHRIST - LESSON 1

The most important decision in your lifetime is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior. John 3:3 says “Except a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God” When you trusted Jesus to be your savior you were born again. Your new birth, by the Spirit of God has made you a new creature. II Cor. 5:17 says “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things pass away, behold new things come” Your old beliefs, your old attitudes, your old habits are beginning to pass away. The way you now view life is changing. It is important to understand and review God’s plan of salvation. Why does anyone need salvation ? Romans 3:23 say :All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Who has sinned ? ALL. Next Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ” What wages do we get because we have sinned ? DEATH Yes, eternal death which means eternal separation from God. How do we escape this death ? We can not do it ourselves. Titus 3:5 says “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He has saved us” Jesus did it for us, on the cross. He took our punishment…our wages. I Peter 3:18says “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit”
