A Biblical Perspective on Sin and Redemption

Their choice led to spiritual and physical separation from God.
The Consequence of Sin
Romans 6:23 – 'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sin leads to death and eternal separation from God.
Human efforts cannot bridge the gap caused by sin.
God’s Plan for Redemption
John 3:16 – 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus Christ is the bridge that reconnects us to God.
His sacrifice on the cross paid for our sins.
Invitation to Salvation
Romans 10:9 – 'If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
