Jesus Is Enough

Sin-causes separation from God

Isaiah 59:2

[2] but your iniquities have made a separation

        between you and your God,

    and your sins have hidden his face from you

        so that he does not hear.

Repentance-turn from sin

1 John 3:4

[4] Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Acts 3:19

[19] Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

Regeneration-new creation in Christ

Titus 3:5

[5] he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

Faith-that Christ is able to meet God's demand

2 Corinthians 5:21

[21] For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Isaiah 53:4-6

[4] 

    Surely he has borne our griefs

        and carried our sorrows;

    yet we esteemed him stricken,

        smitten by God, and afflicted. 

    [5] 

    But he was pierced for our transgressions;

        he was crushed for our iniquities;

    upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

        and with his wounds we are healed. 

    [6] 

    All we like sheep have gone astray;

        we have turned—every one—to his own way;

    and the LORD has laid on him

        the iniquity of us all.

Salvation-through Christ alone

John 14:6

[6] Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Acts 4:12

[12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

1 Timothy 2:5

[5] For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

Justification-Jesus-blood on the cross-gift

Galatians 2:16

[16] yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Galatians 3:11

[11] Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Restoration-God demanded a holy sacrifice 

1 Peter 5:10

[10] And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Titus 1:2

[2] in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began

Glorified-we are eternally debt free by design-God's sovereign wisdom 

Hebrews 10:4-7

[4] For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

[5] Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, 

 “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,

        but a body have you prepared for me; 

    [6] in burnt offerings and sin offerings

        you have taken no pleasure. 

    [7] Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,

        as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

Revelation 5:9

[9] And they sang a new song, saying, 

 “Worthy are you to take the scroll

        and to open its seals,

    for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God

        from every tribe and language and people and nation,
