THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS (by Campus Crusade)
1. God
LOVES you, and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
- John 3:16; John 10:10
2. Man
is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know
and
experience God's love and plan for his life. Romans 3:23, 6:23
3. Jesus
Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin.
Through
Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
Romans
5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3-6.
4. We
must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then
we
can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives. John 1:12, 3:1-8
What does a child need to know to appreciate Christ's death and receive Him as Savior? These basic facts should be emphasized:
1) God loves all kids - including
me. I don't have to earn his love.
2) I have done wrong, and this wrong (called sin) must be punished.
3) Christ died to pay for my sin.
4) I must accept Jesus as my Savior to receive God's forgiveness.
When I do this, I become a God's child.
