Model the gospel part 3: My Own Efforts

review

In the previous module, we joined Jared as he used the Knowing God Personally tool to engage with Grant in a conversation about the gospel, and about the fact that Jesus has come to give us life in abundance. 
 
Take a photo of anything (a scene, a word, a picture from a magazine, something you doodled yourself) that represents to you the abundant life Jesus said he came to give us. If you’re going through this content with a friend or a mentor, share the photo with them, explaining the significance of the item you photographed.

Jesus Christ is God’s answer to our sin problem. Through Jesus, our relationship with God can be restored so we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.
