Lesson 1.1 Your New Life in Christ

Knowing Jesus Christ is the most exciting relationship you can have. It is the beginning of a life of tremendous adventure with an all-loving, all-powerful God.

There are four simple points that concisely explain all a person needs to know to begin a new life in Christ. A brief review of these will help us as we look at some principles of growing in your relationship with Christ:

1: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

2: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

3: Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

4: We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
