God is holy and God is love. His holiness demands that
our sin be punished infinitely. His love provides a
way for us to be saved from this punishment.
How
is this possible?
Another was willing to suffer what we deserve. Our
substitute had to be a sinless man, able to suffer the
infinite anger of God against our sin. The only one
able to take our place was God's only Son. |
|
The greatest display of God's love unfolded as His Son
left heaven to become a man. Born of a virgin 2000
years ago, Jesus Christ lived with His creation.
Unwilling to sin Himself, yet He showed compassion to
sinners all around Him. However, men hated Him because
His holiness revealed their sinfulness.
He willingly allowed them to nail
Him to a cross of wood outside Jerusalem.
They suspended Him so they could sit and watch Him
die. |

Three
days after His death, Christ Jesus rose from the dead.
This is evidence to all that saw him afterwards and to
all who read God's word that Christ's suffering
completely satisfied His father. He was victorious
over death itself - the ultimate consequence of our
sin. God's plan of salvation brings us into the good
of Christ's suffering, death, and victory.
It says
in the Bible; "For when we
were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died
for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6). "For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life" (John 3:16). |

There is only one way to escape hell! Believe upon
Jesus. Confess your sins to Jesus and ask Him to
forgive you and to cover your sins with His blood. You
will not perish but will have everlasting life with
Jesus in Heaven. Pray with me the sinners prayer right
now and give your past sins over to Jesus Christ and
escape Hell... The Bible says in Romans 10:9 -
If you confess with
your lips that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. |

Dear God,
I am a sinner, Thank you for loving me and coming down
from heaven to rescue me by dying on the cross for my
sins. Thank you for giving me eternal life and hope
through the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ. I
am yours. Lord, mold me into the person you want me to
be. In Jesus' name. Amen. |
