God Inspired Scripture

Genesis 1:27

[God] created from one blood all nations of men to dwell over the face of all the earth, and determined the set times and the boundaries for their habitation; so they could seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out to him and find him, though he is not far from anyone of us.  For in him we live and move and have our being; for even some of your own poets have said, “For we are also his offspring.”

Genesis 2:16-17

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all mankind, upon all who sin.

Sin Separates Us From God

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither is his ear hardened, that it cannot hear:  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Isaiah 59:2

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

But everyone is tempted when they are drawn away by their own lust and enticed.

Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin; and sin, when it is completed, brings forth death.

James 1:14-15

The Gospel of God

And the angel said to them, “Fear not.  For, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 15:1-2 

In this way was the love of God for us revealed, in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the atonement for our sins.

Jesus

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:16

But God revealed his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, upon all who sin.

Romans 5:8-12

Now, Christ is risen from the dead and has become the first fruits of those that slept.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, now likewise in Christ all shall be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:20-22

And he is the atonement for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
