  6. Review: Two Questions • Do you know for certain that if you died tonight you would go to heaven? • Christians believe that you can know with certainty • If you were to die tonight and God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?”, what would you say? • According to Christianity, there are two answers – a right answer and a wrong answer

  7. Review: Two Answers If you were to die tonight and God asked you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?”, what would you say? • Wrong Answer: What I have done (salvation by works) • Right Answer: What Christ has done for me (salvation by grace) • “Grace not Works”

  8. Review: What is a Christian? • Mark 1:14-15 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." • A Christian is someone who belongs to the kingdom of God. • To belong, two things are necessary: • Repentance • Belief

  9. Review: Repentance • Mark 8:34-38 • I put Jesus first… • Before my will • Before my ambition • Before my popularity • Before anything and everything
