The Scoop
Godâs in charge
The Bible tells us that God created everything and it was very good. Because God created it all He makes up the rules.
We Sinned
Right from the start with Adam and Eve we have all messed up and didnât obey God and His rules. This is called sin and it separates us from God. The punishment for sin is death and eternity apart from God.
Godâs Rescue Plan
God loves us and doesnât want to be separated from us, so He sent Jesus as the perfect fix to our sin problem to rescue us from the punishment we deserve.
Jesus took our sin on Himself and died in our place on the cross! Only Jesus can save us and take our place because He was perfect. And because He was perfect, death couldnât keep Him and He came back to life three days later.
Turning and Trusting
So whatâs next?
Turning
Itâs hard to admit when we are wrong. But hereâs the deal, we will never be good enough to be right with God.
âEveryone has sinned; we all fall short of Godâs glorious standard.â Romans 3:23
Thatâs why we all need Jesus to save us because we canât do it ourselves. Tell God you are sorry for your sin and you want to turn from sin to Jesus.

Trust and believe that Jesusâ rescue plan is true and give Him the rest of your life.
Your Choice
What will you choose? Will you choose to let God be in charge of your life by making Him your Lord?

When we turn from sin and self we can have new life and salvation by trusting Jesus and believing He did what He said He did.
âFor God so loved the world (thatâs you) that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.â John 3:16
