1. Sin Entered Romans 5:12 Through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world. Romans 5:19 Through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Luke 16:15 You are those who justify themselves in the sight of men. Romans 10:3 For not knowing about God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

2. Sin causes Death Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death. Romans 5:12 So death spread to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For much more did the gift by Jesus Christ abound.

3. Reconciliation by Redemption 1. "To ransom from bondage." 2. "To make atonement for, as, to redeem a fault." 3. "To free from incumbrance, as by paying a mortgage or other debt." 4. "To pay, as a note." 5. "To fulfill, as a promise.“ Redemption is: 6. “To show a better way of life at the sacrifice of oneself.” You can't "save yourself", even by being a "nice person", because through Adam death is passed to all people. (1 Cor 15:22) But we can be "reconciled to God through the death of his son...and be saved by his life." (Romans 5:10)

4. Came to Seek Draws Us Luke 19:10 For the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me saying, yea I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn thee.

5. Gave Son Gave Life John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

6. Free Gift Have Life Romans 6:23 The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.

8. The Gospel Scripture Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to every- one who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. John 20:31 These have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God; and that believing you may have life in his name.

9. God’s teaching is inspired John 7:17 If any man is willing to do his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.

10. To Call Who Hears Matthew 9:13 I desire compassion, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners. John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

11. By Faith By Action Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7:26 And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

12. Open Door Enter In Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.

13. Receive Believe John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in his name. Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can, all things are possible to him who believes.”

14. Confess Speak Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. Matthew 12:34 For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.

15. By Grace Be Saved Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of your- selves, it is the gift of God. Matthew 19:25-26 The disciples... were astonished and said, “Then who can be saved? And Jesus said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
