The 4 Points
GOD LOVES ME
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
The four points is a simple overview of the entire bible, and the first thing you need to know is that God loves you very much. His love for you is unlimited and completely unconditional. There is nothing you can do to make God love you any more or less than He does right now. There is nothing that God wants more than to love and be loved by you.
I HAVE SINNED
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2
Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1:15
Sadly we have been separated from God’s love by something the bible calls sin. Simply put, sin is when we choose to live for ourselves rather than for God. We sin when we ignore God, break His laws and basically do things our own way. Sin destroys relationships with friends, with family and with God. The bible says that sin ultimately brings death.
JESUS DIED FOR ME
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
The third point is probably one of the most well known facts in the history of mankind but is often misunderstood. The key is to realize that the penalty for sin is death. We’ve all sinned and we all deserve to die. But God, who is full of mercy, loved you so much that He sent Jesus to come and die in your place. Jesus died, so that we can have eternal life.
I NEED TO DECIDE TO LIVE FOR GOD
Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Not only did Jesus die for our sin, three days later He rose from the dead! Through His death and resurrection, Jesus has now made a way for us to have a relationship with God. All you need to do is accept you’ve sinned, ask for God’s forgiveness and then decide to live the rest of your life only for Him. The choice is yours.
PRAYER
Dear God, thank you that you love me and have a good plan and purpose for my life. I’m sorry for ignoring you and doing things my way. I realize now that my sin has hurt you and the people around me, and for this I’m truly sorry. Thank you Jesus that you gave your life for me and took the punishment for my sin. Please forgive me and help me now, by the power of your Holy Spirit, as I decide to live only for you. Amen.
