Grace
- Heaven Is A Free Gift "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23. We cannot earn our way to heaven and none of us really deserves to go. It is a gift.
Man - We Are All Sinners "All have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23. Every person who has ever lived has missed God's standard
of perfection.
God - He Loves Us "God is love."
1 John 4:18. While God loves us and does not want to punish us, we should also know that as a just God, He must punish
sin. "The soul who sins shall die." Ezekiel 18:4
Christ - God Balanced Justice And Love Through His Son Jesus "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16. Jesus is the infinite God-man, God in the flesh.
He died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place for us in heaven, which
He offers as a free gift.
Faith - The Gift Of Eternal Life Is Received By Faith Saving
faith is not merely intellectual assent. It is trusting in Jesus Christ alone and what He has done rather than what
we can do to get us to heaven. "What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will
be saved." Acts 16:20b, 31
