Following are excerpts from a Power Point presentation (10 of 88 slides) I've been preparing to communicate foundational biblical truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I hope you'll be able to "see" the basic biblical truths unfold and build upon each other as each slide is viewed in order.
Note: I wish I could sit next to you as you view the slides to more personally share my testimony of the truths. I hope one day to be able to share audio and video recordings through this Rest Stop.
I am seeking to communicate with these slides
how THE CROSS OF CHRIST is the center of His gospel
and
how THE CROSS OF CHRIST is the center of all of history!
THE CROSS is where the perfect Lamb of God's blood
was shed for the forgiveness of sins.
THE CROSS is the dividing line between life and death.
Christ was born into our sinful realm of death
in order to rescue (redeem) us into His graceful realm of life.
This rescue occurred by God's grace through THE CROSS.
When a person trusts Christ for salvation, God spiritually unites the person with Christ in His death on THE CROSS and in His burial.
In this spiritual union, the sinful person is put to death with Christ.
When Christ rose from the dead to be alive to God the Father again, a new person is reborn in union with the risen Christ, alive for the first time as a child of God the Father!

As I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost,
You (God) looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross.
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ.
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life.
Oh Father use my ransomed life
In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You.
[Sovereign Grace Praise 2008 by Jordan Kauflin]
Let me know if you would like for me to more personally share these truths with you and/or with a group.
I am humbled and excited about upcoming opportunities to teach these truths using these Power Point slides to men at a mission and to managers at a manufacturing company. Please pray for me.
God bless you!
