God has the solution – his grace

John 3:16

• G – God Exists - “God so…” Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:19-20
• Our Problem: Genesis 6:5; Psalm 14:1; Psalm 51:5; Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-22; John 3:19; Romans 3:23; Ephesians 2:1; Colossians 1:21
• R – Radical love - “so loved the world” 1 John 4:8
• A – Amazing gift - “that He gave His One and Only Son” 1 John 4:10; Romans 8:32; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-6; Romans 5:7-8
• C – confessing christ - “that whoever believes in Him” Galatians 2:16; Luke 9:23
• “belief” means to “rely upon” or “cling to” or “place confidence in.”
• Biblical belief is not clinging to your righteous deeds; rather it is finding all of your merit in the cross.
• Biblical belief is not esteeming yourself; rather it is losing yourself for Christ’s sake.
• E – Eternal Life - “shall not perish but have eternal life”
• Perish: John 8:24; Revelation 14:10-11; 2 Thessalonians 1:9
• Life: Colossians 1:13-14; 1 John 5:12-13; John 10:10
