The Four
Here are four symbols that represent the central message of the Bible and its relationship to our lives.
HEART
God totally loves us He made us. Even if we think we have messed things up or believe we are a failure.
He will not love us any less. His love is boundless and unconditional.
The love of God has shown itself through His Son, Jesus Christ.
This loving God can be experienced, He is real and He wants nothing more than for us to experience His love personally and to discover the purpose of our life by having a relationship with Him.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love... 1 John 4:16
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there [are pleasures] for evermore. Psalm 16:11
DIVISION
Unfortunately, we cannot experience God’s love because we ignore Him.
We search everywhere for meaning and fulfillment – but without thinking of God.
We don’t trust Him and do not think that He wants the best for us. Going our own way, disobeying His laws, and the selfish actions that result from it are what the Bible calls sin. Sin damages and destroys our relationships with others. Worst of all, our sin keeps us from the kind of love and fulfilling life that God intends for us.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2
CROSS
Our sin and our selfish actions do not stop God from loving us.
God became a human being in Jesus Christ and gave His life for us. He took our place on the cross, suffering and bearing all the consequences of our sin. He died once and for all for the sin of every person to bring us back to God But He came back to life again.
Now, He freely offers us peace with God and to restore a personal relationship with Him. Through placing our personal faith in Jesus, because we can experience God’s love daily, discover our purpose, and have eternal life after death.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Peter 3:18
DECISION
God has already done everything to show us how much He loves us. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, His death and physical resurrection, He offers us fulfillment and eternal life. We can experience this kind of life if we will entrust our life to Jesus
Every person is challenged to make a decision. We can talk to God directly – to ask for forgiveness for our sin, trust Jesus, and receive Him into our life.
What will your decision be? • How will you decide?
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him... Revelation 3:20Questions?
