Relationships Take Work
Bridge Builders for Christ
(Matthew 22:37-40)
(Matthew 22:37-40)
A bridge is a structure made to carry something on it or created to go over obstacles. By way of creating a relationship with Christ, we create a bridge to God, and we come to love God and love people.

“God uses unlikely relationships to build bridges to Jesus Christ.” – Elder Melinda Dula
God – John 3:16, John 10:10
We begin by knowing how much God loves us and that He purposed to give us abundant life.
Our Problem – Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 9:27
Our problem is sin, and this separates us from God. As one faces judgement for sin, God sees us in a predicament, and He finds a way.
The Solution – Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 3:18
Through grace we are saved. Through God’s example of sending His only son in the flesh we bare witness to the solution.
Our Response (ABC) – John 1:12
ADMIT – Admit we are sinners.
BELIEVE – Believe Jesus died & rose for us.
COMMIT – Commit our lives to following Him, giving Him the authority to be the decision maker in our lives.
