who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,”
Romans 1:4

Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.””
Acts 4:12

Christ’s Death Was Not Meaningless

“I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.””
Galatians 2:21

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.””

Four Common Responses People Give As To Why God Should Let Them Into Heaven:

❌ No response at all
❌ Good works = salvation

✅ Faith in Christ alone = Salvation + Good works

5. We Must Personally Receive Jesus As Our Lord And Savior; Then We Can Have Our Sins Forgiven And Know God As Our Friend

We Must Receive Christ

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,”
John 1:12

We Receive Christ Through Faith

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9

We Must Respond To God’s Remedy By Faith

“for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.””
Romans 10:13

“And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
1 John 5:11-13

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9

James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Proverbs 29:24-27
The partner of a thief hates his own life; he hears the curse, but discloses nothing. The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe. Many seek the face of a ruler, but it is from the LORD that a man gets justice. An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, but one whose way is straight is an abomination to the wicked.

God is not impressed with our skills and abilities, but He is rather pleased when we trust in Him to provide and protect as we step out in faith!

Hebrews 11:6 “without faith it’s impossible to please God”

Great Time with Great Kids and a Great God with so many professing Jesus Christ. I pray these kids will grow in the Grace and knowledge of Christ.
