1. We are SINNERS

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (NIV)

Psalm 51:5 For I was born a sinner--yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. (NLT)

2. We are HURT

3. We are LOVED

Romans 5:6-9 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. 8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God's sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God's condemnation. (NLT)

4. We are NEW

Ezekiel 36:26 And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. (NLT)
