DONE: What Most Religions Don't Tell You About the Bible
INTRODUCTION
"If you could know for sure where you would spend eternity - if you could forever put away every fear you've ever had - if this incredible, loving God were knocking at your door right now, offering to rescue you from it all, would you let Him in? Would you even give Him a chance? Wouldn't you want to know this God?"
Chapter One
MORE THAN A BODY
"You are more than a body." With that simple, but profound, statement, we launch into the first step of a life-transforming journey toward a personal relationship with God.
Chapter Two
THE ONLY TWO RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD
"So how do you sift through all the religious 'fluff' and cut to the heart of the matter? How can you know truth from error - fact from fiction? How can you discern between God's true design and man's cheap substitute? The answer to these questions is more simple than you could ever imagine."
Chapter Three
KNOWING WHERE YOU'RE GOING
"Everybody has an opinion, but opinions aren't the kind of thing on which you stake your eternal destination. Once again we must turn to the Bible for answers to these question and see what God actually says. Yes, the Bible does say that the real you will live on somewhere after your body dies."
Chapter Four
BIRTH DEFECT
"You may not consider yourself 'too bad' or 'really bad' - but you know as well as I do that you're not perfect either. So where does that leave us? How does God view this imperfection, and where does it place us in His sight? What are the implications of our 'imperfections' in light of eternity and where we go after death?"
Chapter Five
GOD'S ONLY ACCEPTED METHOD OF PAYMENT
"Long before you and I were ever born - long before the world was created - God determined a penalty - a payment for sin. It is not negotiable. It is just and fair - and yes, it is even good in light of the terrible power and destruction that comes with sin."
Chapter Six
CAN I GET A SUBSTITUTE?
"Sadly the world is filled with very sincere people who are trying to pay their sin debt their own way rather than God's. It's not a new scheme."
Chapter Seven
GOD'S ONLY MIRACULOUS SUBSTITUTE
"I need a substitute who can change the inside of me from being sinful to being righteous before God. I need a substitute who will die the death that sin requires once and for all. I need more than a surface makeover - I need a complete spiritual rebuild."
Chapter Eight
PAID IN FULL
"Jesus was God's miraculous intervention! He was God on a divine rescue mission to save humanity from the power of sin and the condemnation that it brings. Jesus was the miracle!"
Chapter Nine
THE GREATEST GIFT
"When God refers to the payment for your sins - salvation from Hell - He literally calls it a gift. It's a gift from Him to you provided through Jesus Christ."
Chapter Ten
BELIEVING ON CHRIST
"No matter how you look at it, if you choose to believe the Bible then you have to go with DONE...not DO. And if you go with DONE - if you accept that salvation (the payment for sin) is a free gift, then there's only two simple decisions remaining to actually make this gift yours...The first is internal and the second is external."
Conclusion
NEW CREATURE, NEW LIFE, NEW FUTURE
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new."
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
