that ye may know that ye have eternal
life."

choice. - "All have

of God." (Romans

of works, lest any man should
boast." (Ephesians

We deserve death and hell. - "The

Because God loves us He has provided
forgiveness for our sin. He has given us
a provision, His Only Begotten Son, Jesus
Christ. Jesus said, "I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me."
(John 14:6)
Our
provision is Jesus Christ
