For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-Romans 6:23-
SOS is the Morse Code signaling that someone needs help. It is known worldwide as the international emergency signal. SOS was first used in 1909 by the SS Arapahoe. It is still used today.
Suppose you find yourself stranded on a deserted island, now you know what to carve in the sand. But SOS is also a fun way to talk about law and gospel.
God’s law...
Shows us Our Sin
We realize, through the law, we have failed, we are sinners, and desperately need help. As the Apostle Paul states,
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
-Romans 3:20
God’s Gospel…
Shows us Our Savior
We realize, through the Gospel, that we have a rescuer, a Savior, who died for us
Jesus said,
“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.”
- John 3:16
In our sin, lost and condemned, we would be lost forever without help. But thanks be to God, help is here today for me and for you - His name is Jesus.
See you Sunday- I can’t wait!
