FOUR SPIRITUAL

LAWS

Just as there are physical laws that

govern the physical universe, so are there

spiritual laws which govern our

relationship with God.

Law One

God LOVES you and has

A wonderful PLAN for your life

1.1 God’s LoveJohn 3:16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

1.2 God’s PlanJohn 10:10“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Why is it that most people are not

experiencing this abundant life?

Law Two

Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore , he can not know and experience God’s love

and plan for his life.

2.1 Man is sinful.Romans 3:23“For all have sinned and

fall short of the glory of God.”

Man was created to have fellowship with God; but because of his stubborn &self-will, he chose to go his own independent way and fellowship with God was broken – the Bible calls this SIN.

2.2 Man is separated.Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Spiritual separation from God

This diagram illustrates ,that God is holy and man is sinful. A great gap separates the two. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and abundant life through his own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy or religion.

How can we reach God

now?

Law Three

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.

3.1 Jesus died in our place.Romans 5:8

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

3.2 He rose from the dead.1 Corinthians 5:3-6

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time…”

3.3 Jesus is the ONLY way to God

The diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gap which separate us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

Law Four

We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as

Savior and Lord. Then we can know and

experience God’s love and plan for our lives.

4.1 We must receive Christ.John 1:12

“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”

4.2 We must receive Christ through faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9“For it is by grace you have been

saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

4.3 We receive Christ by personal invitation.

Revelation 3:20“Here I am! I stand at the door and

knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”These two circles represent two kinds of

lives
