CONVERSATIONS TOWARD SALVATION
“Jesus was the master at having conversations that led to belief in Himself. He would turn a conversation from something very natural, into the supernatural…”
Creation.
Beauty. God creates all things beautiful to display His love
and essence. God creates people to share His love and
respond to His love. There is nothing other than goodness
in God’s creation.
GENESIS 1:1
Fall.
Brokenness. People choose self over God. Sin enters and distorts
people’s relationship with God, self, others and the world.
Brokenness enters into and affects everything in God’s original,
beautiful creation.
ROMANS 3:23
Works.
People attempt to repair their relationship with God by their own
works and their own ways. But sinful people cannot repair or
reconcile themselves to a holy God. People are hopeless without
God’s gracious intervention.
EPHESIANS 2:8-9
Incarnation.
God loves people, so He Himself enters His creation in the
flesh, being born because we’re born, so He can substitute
Himself in our place. People cannot get to God, so God came
to us.
TITUS 2:11
Crucifixion.
Since God loves the world, He sent His one and only Son, both
God and man, to stand in as a substitute for our sin and die
on a cross. Jesus suffered because we suffer. And Jesus died
because we die.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21
Resurrection.
Life is more powerful than death. The uncreated Creator of all life
resurrected from death by His own power. Jesus overcomes death
for all who will receive Him and His resurrection on their behalf. He
raised back to life because we could not.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:14
Salvation.
Jesus repairs people’s broken relationship with God and gives His Spirit
to live within all who believe in Him as Lord and Savior. True belief in
Jesus begins with a new life empowered by His Spirit, and this new life
begins now and lasts forever.
ROMANS 10:9-10
Return.
Jesus will return one day to complete our salvation and restore all
things to their original, beautiful state as it was before sin entered
the world. We grow daily by following Jesus, looking ahead with
hope in His return.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:14-18
