Who is Jesus Christ for you?

Why did Jesus Christ die? 

• He died for you! 

• He died to appease the wrath of God 
• He died to reveal the love of God 
• He died to reconcile you to God 
• He died for you and offers you eternal life freely 
• He died to show Christians how to live sacrificially 

 He must be both Savior and Lord 


• To be your Lord, He must also be your Savior!  

• To be your Savior, He must also be your Lord!  

– We must surrender our lives to Him through repentance and faith. 

Who is Jesus Christ for you ? 


•  Have you embraced the Salvation that He freely offers you by repenting and believing in Him?

•  In His Incarnation, He united Himself with your humanity 
•  In His Life, He obeyed God perfectly and taught the truth you need to live
•  In His Death, He atoned for your sins
•  In His Resurrection, He provided life for you
•  Will you be ready for His Judgment?
•  Will He be your Judge (condemner) or Justifier (declarer of righteousness)? 

Dear friend, the choice is yours. I pray you choose Him!


God bless you.
