Now check your
answers with what the Bible says.
1. Most people answer question 1 with "YES."
This is correct because the Bible says:
For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory
Of God. -- The wages of sin is DEATH (Spiritual Death

3. Most people answer question 3 "YES." They are trusting
their own HUMAN EFFORTS to help EARN their salvation.
Let's see what God's Word says:

are as
"FILTHY RAGS" (Isa. 64.6)
Do you know WHY God sees your human efforts, good works, etc.,
to earn your salvation as "filthy rags?" YES_____ NO_____
It is because His Word says:
Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS
according to the Scriptures, and rose
again. (1 Cor. 15: 3, 4)
Therefore, if we try to earn our salvation, we are actually
REJECTING Christ's death which has ALREADY PAID
for our sins and salvation.

to earn our own salvation? YES____ NO____
