“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1

Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
Genesis 2:7

People Are A Unique Creation

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:27, 31

People Are Created With A Free Will

The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.””
Genesis 2:16-17

2. We Have All Chosen To Disobey God, And Our Relationship With Him Had Been Broken

Man Rebelled against God

“Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.”
Genesis 3:22-24

The Consequences Of Our Choice

We Are All Born With A Sinful Nature

“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.”
Psalms 51:5

as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;”
Romans 3:10

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 3:23

Our Sin Brings Death And Separation

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

Our Sin Brings Eternal Judgment

“dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,”
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9

Our ways are not Gods ways

Good Deeds Are Not The Solution

3. God’s Love Moved Him To Save Us From Our Sins

“In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
1 John 4:10

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