Why Do I Need To Be Saved?
Four reasons, because a) I am a sinner b) I am a slave c) I am sick d) I am severed
* I am a sinner: I am a spiritual criminal before God under judgment
* I am a slave: I am enslaved to sin. God wants no sin at all but here I am unable to do otherwise. I am not a sinner because I have committed sins. No, I commit sins because I am a sinner. I am enslaved to sin.
* I am sick: I am spiritually sick. Sin is like a virus that has contaminated my mind, my desires, my will. It even affected my body.
* I am severed: I am spiritually dead; as a sinner l separated from God
You see, I need justification (because I'm a sinner). I need liberation (because I am a slave). I need rejuvenation (because I am sick). I need reconciliation (because I am severed). And coming to Christ in faith gives me all four.
