Black is for Separation caused by sin.

"For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard." (Romans 3:23 NLT)

Red is for the Blood Jesus shed in the cross.

Blue is for Faith.

"And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law." (Galatians 2:16 NLT)

What God Wants for You

Before He created the universe, God had you on His Heart. He wanted you to enjoy a perfect, endless life with Him (Ephesians 1:4)

So then, why does life often seem so meaningless and full of misery? These ABC's explain briefly and point the way to peace.

ADMIT

No one has or can live the perfect life God requires. God wants you to admit that you need to be rescued from this condition called sin "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 NLT)

BELIEVE

Jesus Christ died on the cross to rescue you from sin and to restore your broken relationship with God. Now God invites you to "believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31 NLT)

CALL

Here is God's promise to you, "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:13) God wants you to receive His gifts of pardon and peace, thanking Him for His rescue in Jesus Christ
