What does it mean to follow Christ?
Our Sin
We are all born with a sin nature. Because of our sin, we are unable to have a relationship with God without forgiveness. Romans 3:23 NLT “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
God’s Gift
We can’t earn God’s forgiveness – it must be given. Jesus gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven. Romans 5:8 NLT “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 6:23 NLT “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
