Mankind Needs SalvationBecause of Sin

• (Rom 323) For all have sinned, and come short
  of the glory of God
• (1 John 110) If we say that we have not sinned,
  we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
• What is Sin?
• (1 John 34) Whosoever committeth sin
  transgresseth also the law for sin is the
  transgression of the law.

Mankind Needs SalvationBecause of Sin

• (Isa 592) But your iniquities have separated
  between you and your God, and your sins have hid
  his face from you, that he will not hear.
• (Ezek 1820) The soul that sinneth, it shall
  die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the
  father, neither shall the father bear the
  iniquity of the son the righteousness of the
  righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness
  of the wicked shall be upon him.

4
In Sinning, Man Deserves the Consequences.

• (Gal 67-8) Be not deceived God is not mocked
  for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
  reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of
  the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth to
  the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
  everlasting.
• (Rom 623) For the wages of sin is death but
  the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
  Christ our Lord.

Mankind Needs Salvation BecauseWe are Human and
not an Animal

• No Animal Needs Salvation There is NO SIN
• Man is a Composite Being
• (Gen 3518) And it came to pass, as her soul was
  in departing, (for she died) that she called his
  name Ben-oni but his father called him
  Benjamin.
• (Eccl 127) Then shall the dust return to the
  earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto
  God who gave it.
• (Job 328) But there is a spirit in man and the
  inspiration of the Almighty giveth them
  understanding.

In Having this Soul, Man CannotBe Satisfied with
Bread Alone!

• (Matt 44) It is written, Man shall not live by
  bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
  out of the mouth of God.
• (Luke 1215-21)

The History of the World is but aHistory of
Mans Need of Salvation

• The plan of Salvation was in the Mind of God from
  all eternity
• (Eph 310-11) To the intent that now unto the
  principalities and powers in heavenly places
  might be known by the church the manifold wisdom
  of God, According to the eternal purpose which he
  purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord

The History of the World is but aHistory of
Mans Need of Salvation

• The Downfall of Man (Gen 3)
• The separation of a race
• (Gal 316-19) Now to Abraham and his seed were
  the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as
  of many but as of one, And to thy seed, which is
  Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that
  was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law,
  which was four hundred and thirty years after,
  cannot disannul, that it should make the promise
  of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the
  law, it is no more of promise but God gave it to
  Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the
  law? It was added because of transgressions, till
  the seed should come to whom the promise was
  made and it was ordained by angels in the hand
  of a mediator.

The History of the World is but aHistory of
Mans Need of Salvation

• The Animal Sacrifices Testified to this need
• (Heb 101-4) For the law having a shadow of good
  things to come, and not the very image of the
  things, can never with those sacrifices which
  they offered year by year continually make the
  comers thereunto perfect. For then would they
  not have ceased to be offered? because that the
  worshippers once purged should have had no more
  conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices
  there is a remembrance again made of sins every
  year. For it is not possible that the blood of
  bulls and of goats should take away sins.

  glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
  full of grace and truth.

Gods Plan Of Salvation in History
(John 112-13) But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
(John 33) Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God. (John 35) Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and
of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom
of God.
