1) WHO IS GOD?
Attributes of God (eternal, self-existent, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, loving, fair, Spirit, righteous).
God is so awesome and great that we can never understand everything about Him because we are not God.
What is the Trinity? God has three different parts (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
2) GOD’S WORLD WAS PERFECT UNTIL SIN.
Who is satan?
What is temptation?
What is sin?
God cannot accept sin
We are all sinners in need of forgiveness
3) SIN REQUIRES THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD.
Blood is important to life
God’s rule says that blood had to be shed in order for sin to be forgiven.
In the Old Testament God required sacrificing of animals for the forgiveness of sins.
4) JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
God only accepts the blood of His son, Jesus, as the solution for sin.
Jesus took on our sin. He was punished instead of us.
The animal sacrifices of the Old Testament did not forgive sins but the people’s obedience to God did so that when Jesus died their sins were covered as well.
Jesus chose to die because He loves God and He loves us.
Jesus’ death on the cross is a gift for mankind.
5) HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND TO JESUS’ GIFT?
We hear and understand God’s plan of salvation.
We make a choice to believe or not.
We confess that we are sinners in need of forgiveness.
We have a Godly sorrow for our sins and then repent meaning we turn from those sins and start living to please God.
6) BE OBEDIENT TO BAPTISM.
Learn about Jesus’ example of baptism.
What does the Bible say about baptism?
Baptism symbolizes the death of our sinful nature and the raising up of a new person in Christ.
Who should get baptized?
How do we get baptized? What is immersion?
7) WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I’M BAPTIZED?
This is the beginning of a relationship with Jesus.
We receive the Holy Spirit to help us live for God.
We need to grow closer to God through prayer, church attendance, worship, Scripture reading, acts of service and contributions.
We ask for forgiveness when we sin again.
