TRUTH #1: God is LOVE and we humans are the chief recipients of His love.

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

TRUTH #2: God is HOLY. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Sin has separated man from God.

Romans 5:12 - "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned."

TRUTH #3: Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin and the only way to bridge this gulf between God and man. Through Christ you can know and experience God's love.

Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

TRUTH #4: We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

Romans 10:9&13 - "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ...for, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
