Eternal Life

In the beginning God created all things
You were created in the image of God;
Therefore, you are to be perfect as Your heavenly Father is perfect
But you are not perfect
You have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
Sin is lawlessness
Sin is everyone deciding for themselves good and evil 
Sin is rebellion against God
The penalty for sin is death;
Spiritual death, the separation of the sinner from God
Physical death, the separation of the soul from the body
Eternal death, the abandonment of the soul in hell
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
Therefore, eternal life is a gift given by the grace of God alone
Received through faith alone
In the Son of God, Jesus the Christ alone
Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Jesus was born of the virgin Mary
Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel and saying,
“The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand 
Repent and believe in the gospel”
Jesus died for our sins according to the Scriptures
Jesus was buried in a garden tomb
Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures
Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth;
Therefore, if you reject Jesus and continue in sin 
You will go away into eternal punishment
But if you repent from sin and believe in Jesus
You will go into eternal life in the new heaven and new earth in the presence of God
