Themes
Key Points
- 1.God created you intentionally as His beloved dream and finest creation, knowing you intimately before you were even born.
- 2.God has a specific, good plan for your life designed to give you hope and a future, which is experienced by walking in His ways (Jeremiah 29:11).
- 3.Every human being has sinned and fallen short of God's standard, a truth that levels the ground between all people and eliminates prejudice (Romans 3:23).
- 4.While the wages of sin is death, eternal life is God's free gift received through faith in Jesus Christ rather than through human effort or religiosity (Romans 6:23).
- 5.God demonstrated His love by sending Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners, proving that every individual is deeply valued and worth saving (Romans 5:8).
- 6.Salvation comes from confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10).
- 7.Like a crumpled and dirty hundred-dollar bill that retains its full value because of what is written on it, your value before God remains intact regardless of how life has marred you.
- 8.Surrendering your life to Christ requires dying to self-will, sin, and worry so that God can transform you and produce abundant fruit in your life (John 12:24).
- 9.Investing your life into God's eternal kingdom yields a lasting reward, whereas investing solely in temporary worldly pursuits leads to ultimate loss.
