ALL OF US ARE SINNERS!
Romans 3:10-12, 23 - As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They (we) are all gone out of the way, they (we) are together become unprofitable; there is none that does (only) good, no, not one. . . . For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory (the righteousness, the holiness, the perfection) of God.
THE PENALTY FOR ALL SIN IS DEATH!
Ezekiel 18:4, 20 - Behold, ALL souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sins, it shall die. . . . The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son....
Romans 6:23 - For the wages (the just payment; that which is earned) of sin is death....
Hebrews 9:27 - And as it is appointed unto men (ALL of mankind) once to die, but after that the judgment.
AND YET, GOD LOVES ALL OF US!
John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the (ALL the) world.
John 3:16 - For God so loved (ALL) the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 5:6, 8 - For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. . . . God commended (demonstrated) His love toward us (ALL), in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1 John 2:2 - And He (Jesus) is the propitiation (the offering that totally satisfies one's debt) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole (ALL the) world.
GOD OFFERS THE GIFT OF SALVATION TO ALL!
Romans 5:15-17 - But not as the offence (unlike sin), so also (salvation) is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many (ALL) be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto many (been offered to ALL). And not as (unlike) it was by one that sinned (earned), so is the gift: for the judgment was by one (sin) to condemnation, but the free gift is of many (covers ALL) offences unto justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which (ALL who) receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
HOW CAN ANYONE, AWARE OF GOD'S LOVE
AND SACRIFICE FOR US, REFUSE TO TRUST
IN JESUS AS BOTH LORD AND SAVIOR?
