I NTRODUCTION We have all heard of the 5 Ws in school that are designed to help us write I would like to use the 5 Ws to help us learn a lesson from God

W HO DOES G OD DESIRE TO BE SAVED ? God desires all to be saved The whole reason God wanted Jonah to go to Nineveh was to give them an opportunity to relent from their ways and return to Him that He might spare them Jn 3:16; Rom 1:16; Rom 10:9-13; 1 Tim 2:1-4; 2 Pet 3:9;

W HO DOES G OD DESIRE TO BE SAVED ? This desire stems from the fact that God is a just God who shows no partiality Deut 32:4; Ezek 18:23-32; Job 34:12; Acts 10:34-35; Rom 2:11; Gal 3:28; Eph 6:9

W HAT HAS G OD DONE TO SAVE H IS PEOPLE ? He sacrificed His only Son Is 53; Jn 3:16; Rom 5:8; Eph 2:8-9; 1 Pet 2:21-24

W HY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ME ? All have sinned Rom 3:23; 1 Jn 1:8-10 All will be judged Rom 14:10; 2 Cor 5:10; Heb 9:27 Without Christ we are left to an eternity in Hell Acts 4:12; Rom 6:23; 2 Pet 2:4-9; Rev 21:8

W HERE CAN I LEARN MORE ? In Gods Word Is 40:8; Lk 24:27; Jn 5:39, 20:30-31; Rom 15:4; 2 Tim 3:16-17; Heb 4:12 In the company of Christians Acts 2:42, 17:17; Heb 10:24-25

W HEN SHOULD I RESPOND / ACT ? The time is now Acts 2:41, 8:34-39, 16:32-33, 22:16 We dont know when our life will end or the Lord may come Mt 25:13; Lk 12:16-20; 1 Thes 5:1-3; Jam 4:13-15; 2 Pet 3:10

C ONCLUSION We have seen from this lesson God is a just God who desires all to be saved What God has done to help all be saved Why this is important to me and all others Where we can continue to learn more of God We need to act now as we dont know when our time will end The question we must now all ask ourselves is Now that I understand these things, how will I respond If you have a need we invite you to make it known while we sing
