  1. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Introduction: Matthew 28:19A (KJV) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations” Matthew 28:19A ESV “Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations” -Jesus commands us to “make/build” disciples (learners & followers of Christ). -Only 2% of Christians share their faith. -Perhaps we don’t share our faith because we don’t know the foundation; WE CAN’T SHARE WHAT WE DON’T KNOW!

  2. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Body: (1.)Principle 1 JESUS IS THE “ONLY” WAY TO HEAVEN. -John 14:6 “….I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” *To get to God, one must go through Jesus! -Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” *Eternal Salvation is “only” in the name of Jesus!

  3. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Body: (2.)Principle 2 God’s Grace (unmerited/undeserved favor) saves us; NOT our own good/righteous works. -Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not that of yourselves: it is the “gift” of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” *Being good doesn’t get one into Heaven; being bad doesn’t get one into Hell. *Belief in Christ gets one into Heaven; Unbelief in Christ gets one into Hell. *I don’t do good “to be saved;” I do good “because I am saved!”

  4. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Body: (3.)Principle 3 We need Jesus because we have a sin problem. -Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” -1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” -1 John 1:10 “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” *To sin is to MISS THE MARK (as in aiming for a target). *Both saved & unsaved people miss the mark. *The difference between saved & unsaved people is that pre-salvation, I wasn’t even aiming for the mark; post- salvation AT LEAST I’M AIMING/TRYING!

  5. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Body: (4.)Principle 4 Sin has a penalty (death). -Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” *Death is separation from God. (5.)Principle 5 Sin has a remedy (Christ’s Death, Burial, & Resurrection). -Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” *Jesus Christ bore the sins of the world on the Cross that we may be reconciled to God through Christ.

  6. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Body: (6.)Principle 6 Christ died for the sins of the world, but everyone must still make an individual decision to accept Christ. -Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” *We must decide to verbally confess Jesus as the Lord (ruler) of our lives and believe in his death, burial, and resurrection.

  7. FAITH FOUNDATIONS Close: (7.)Principle 7 I am to live a transformed life that is opposite from the world by different thinking until Christ’s return. -Romans 12:1-2 KJV “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” *I behave different by thinking different!
