Ball State BCM Knowing Jesus

Did you know that just about every religion proclaims that we are separated from
God? Did you know that just about every religion gives us steps to follow and things
to do so that we can be reconciled to God? Did you know that these are just
man-made attempts to be right with God? Actually, God did all the work for us. He
sent his son, Jesus, to earth and the cross for us. We don't have to do anything - just
have faith. What's faith? - read on!

Want to read some cool stories of people's faith in Jesus? Go to My Story.

1) God loved us and sent His son, Jesus, to earth for us.

2) Jesus lived a perfect life, but decided to die anyway, which he didn't have to do because his life was perfect. God raised Him from the dead, and His death can count as payment for our sins while his resurrection gives us the promise that we too can spend eternity in heaven.

3) We have to believe in our heart about Jesus and confess that He is who the Bible says He is - God who loved us and through faith in Him, we will be saved from hell and get to spend eternity in heaven.

1) We're sinners. That means we've messed up at least once in our lives. Not one of us is perfect.

2) Our sin separates us from God. That means no fellowship with Him now, no eternity in heaven, and yep, an eternity in hell.

3) There's nothing we can do about it. Try if you want, but your efforts will be in vain.
