Day 1- GOD IS HOLY

If defending the gospel should lead to sharing the gospel, then it is important for you to have practice in sharing the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This week there are verses that explain the message of the Gospel. Use these verses and others to help you form the way you will share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Read Psalm 18:30, Habakkuk 1:13, Isaiah 59:2
How is God described? Why can we not have a relationship with God?
Why is this a problem?

Day 2- SIN SEPARATES

Read Romans 3:10; 3:23; 6:23; 5:12, Galatians 5:19-21
Does everyone sin? What are the consequences of sin?

Day 3- CHRIST CLEANSES

Read John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:6-11; 8:9-10 and 1 John 1:9
What did Christ do for us? What must you do to accept the forgiveness Jesus has already given to all mankind?

Day 4- JESUS SAVES

Read John 14:6, Acts 4:10-12, John 10:10
Is there any other way to have salvation?
What does God want for you?
What does the enemy want for you?

Day 5- GOD’S GIFT

Read Ephesians 2:8-9. Are you saved by the things that you do?
Today, using the verses you have marked in your Bible and memorized, write out how you, in your own personality and testimony, would share the gospel with someone.

DIG DEEPER

There are three parts of your salvation.
PART 1 – JUSTIFICATION
Salvation from the PENALTY of sin.
Jesus took the penalty of death and eternal separation from God on the cross. His blood justifies your sin.
This happens when you believe in Jesus. You believe and you are secure! (Romans 5:8-11)
PART 2 – SANCTIFICATION
Salvation from the POWER of sin.
Jesus’ death and resurrection gives you the Holy Spirit, who lives inside you. As a believer, the Holy Spirit works in you to help you experience freedom from the destructive power of sin while living on earth. You did nothing to get your justification and eternal life, but your sanctification depends on your active participation in listening to the Holy Spirit and growing in your faith. Sanctification is a continual thing in your life as a believer. It has nothing to do with eternal life, but instead with living a fruitful earthly life of freedom from sin. (Philippians 2:12)
PART 3 – GLORIFICATION
Salvation from the PRESENCE of sin.
Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we will one day get to live with Him forever. It is here with Him that there will be no more sin present around us to tempt us or hurt us! Glorification is a future part of your salvation. (1 Peter 1:3-9)
