1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.

God's Love
"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" (John 3:16 NIV).
God's Plan
[Jesus speaking] "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" [that it might be full and
meaningful] (John 10:10).
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because...
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and
experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own
independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active
rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Man Is Separated
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two. The arrows illustrate
that a man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life,
philosophy, or religion - but he inevitably fails.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know
and experience God's love and plan for your life.
He Died in Our Place
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
He Rose From the Dead
"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures...He
appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." (1 Corinthians
15:3-6).
He Is the Only Way to God
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'"
(John 14:6).
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus
Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
It is not enough just to know these three laws...
