today’s decision

reading: John 3:1-26

Introduction
God’s message in six boxes

Box 6: Today’s decision
There are two ways to live

John 3:36 (ESV)
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Which of these represents the way you want to live?
Which way describes how you are living now?
Do you want to make the change?

Who will God let into his heaven?

finished judgment

Yet by dying in our place he took our punishment and brought forgiveness.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God

But that’s not all…

All have turned aside” (ESV)
