Why do I need to be saved?

• God made man to have dominion over creation

• God created man for fellowship and the devil deceived the first man and woman created, Adam and Eve to disobey God.

• It was their disobedience that caused them to be separated from fellowship with God.

• This became a generational curse that the whole human race has sin.

• Sin brings spiritual death, which separates us from our Creator.
