The Living Word
A journey through timeless promises written across the heavens.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalm 19:1
01
Words of Jesus
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
John 8:12
Reflection
Christ does not merely point toward the light—He declares Himself to be the Light. Following Him means allowing truth, grace and direction to reach even the places we would rather keep hidden.
A promise for the fearful heart
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:10

FOR GOD
so loved
THE WORLD
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
A clear message of hope through Jesus Christ
What it means to be saved
1
Imagine a swimmer in deep water who cannot rescue herself. She cries to a lifeguard, who reaches her in her helpless condition and brings her safely to shore.
Or imagine someone trapped in a burning building, overcome by smoke, calling for help. A firefighter comes, carries him out and saves him from perishing.
In the same way, God has provided a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is able to rescue every sinner who trusts in Him. No matter what you have done, He can save you.
“ God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
2 Why we need to be saved
Because of our rebellion against God, we are in danger of eternal separation from Him and must face the consequences of sin.
- All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
- The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
- It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27
- Those not found written in the Book of Life face judgment. Revelation 20:15
The Savior and your response
What the Savior has done
3
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners by coming down from Heaven and dying on the cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and He is now a living Savior at God's right hand in Heaven.
- While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
- Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
- Christ suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18
4 How you can be saved
The only way to be saved from sin and its punishment is to turn to God in repentance and place your faith in Jesus Christ. Repentance recognizes our serious need before God. Faith rests in the Lord Jesus as Savior, believing that He fully paid the price for forgiveness and cleansing.
Turn to Christ today — He is able to save!
