The Four Spiritual Laws

The Four Spiritual Laws

"The Four Spiritual Laws" is an evangelistic Christian tract created in 1952 [http://www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com/aboutus/history.htm] by Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ. Bright wrote the booklet as a means to clearly explain the essentials of the Christian faith concerning salvation.

In the booklet, Bright summarizes the Christian message of salvation contained in the Bible as four spiritual laws that govern our relationship with God, just like there are physical laws that govern the universe.Bill Bright (2006). [http://campuscrusade.com/fourlawseng.htm "The Four Spiritual Laws"] at [http://campuscrusade.com Campus Crusade] . ] The four spiritual laws are:

# God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (John 3:16, John 10:10)
# Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life. (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)
# Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life. (Romans 5:8, I Corinthians 15:3-6, John 14:6)
# We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives. (John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8,9, John 3:1~8, Revelation 3:20)

Use of the tract is widespread ["...likely the most widely distributed religious booklet in history, with approximately 2.5 billion printed to date." [http://www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com/aboutus/history.htm "Campus Crusade History"] at [http://www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com Campus Crusade for Christ] , Orlando, Florida.] and continues today in various forms and multiple languages by Christians in their efforts to explain their faith to non-Christians. ["Millions of men and women in most countries of the world have prayed to receive Christ through the direct, simple presentation of the gospel contained in this booklet. Approximately one billion copies have been distributed in all of the major languages of the world."
