The Bible passages that are the essentials of the Christian faith, involving sin, forgiveness, redemption, confession, and God’s love for us. Presented by a child, a teenager, and a mature adult. Regardless of one’s age or spiritual maturity, there are a few basic truths to which we all must return, and so shed the barnacles that cling to our hull.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Carly: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans\u00a03:23)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rebecca: \u00a0the wages of sin is death (Romans\u00a06:23a)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Matt Oliver: God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rebecca: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John\u00a03:16)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Carly: the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans\u00a06:23b)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rebecca: if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Matt Oliver: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith\u2014and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God\u2014 not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Carly: to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (John\u00a01:12)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
