Revive cards:
SIN
ROMANS 3:23
For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God.
DEATH
ROMANS 6:23
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
LOVE
ROMANS 5:8
But God demonstrates His
own love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
FAITH
EPHESIANS 2:8-9
For by grace you have been
saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; not as a result
of works, so that no one
may boast.
LIFE
ROMANS 10:9-10
If you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will
be saved; for with the heart a
person believes, resulting in
righteousness, and with the
mouth he confesses, resulting
in salvation.
