THE GOSPEL…
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin
is death but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrated
His love for us in this-that while we
were sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans: 10:9 - If you declare with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and
believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are
you saved through faith and not of
yourselves. It is a gift from God, not
of works, lest any man should boast.
