Salvation
Leading a Person to Christ
Apart from Christ we are helpless and sinful.
We are all sinners
We are in spiritual bondage
We are alienated from God
Knowledge of sin comes by the law of God
God, in his justice, punishes sinners
We cannot save ourselves in any way
Jesus saves us by grace and through faith
Jesus suffered and died for sinners
Examples of those who were saved by grace and through faith
The Lord calls sinners like you and me
We are saved to joyfully obey and serve the Lord
