The answer starts with the Law - God is holy. Can I, a sinful person, keep his law perfectly? What happens if I don't? The answer is that God cannot except anything less than holy. As sinful humans, we are unable to meet his demands. We have nothing to offer a holy God.
What is the answer? The answer comes outside of sinful man. The answer comes from someone who was able to fulfill all of God's holy law. The answer comes from someone who was able to pay the price that God demanded for sins committed. That answer is - Jesus.The presentation emphasizes two important things Jesus did. The first was in His life. During His life Jesus was fulfilling the Law of God. He kept all the commandments - perfectly. He did all this as my Substitute. The second thing Jesus did was in His death, when He paid the price for my sins. This He did as my Substitute.
These are the points we want to communicate in our witnessing opportunities to others. God's law-which we cannot fulfill, and God's Gospel, Jesus lived a perfect life for me and died an innocent death to pay the price for my sins.
How can I have a right relationship with God?
The only answer is - Jesus.
