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
God the Father! 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. 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.

At his baptism, John gives testimony as to the
Messiahship of Jesus. In Luke 3:21, "the words in bodily form emphasize
the reality of the coming of the Spirit to equip Jesus for His ministry.
The heavenly voice...does not indicate the adoption of Jesus as God's
Son but the divine approval with which He began His work as God's
Servant and Son.
(D. Guthrie and J.A. Motyer, eds. The New Bible Commentary: Revised. Wm.
B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1970, 895, 895)
Volumes have
been written about who Jesus is, what His purpose on earth was and His
relationship with God the Father. This is a brief attempt to give a
character profile. For further information on the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ, we recommend reading one of the four
Gospels in the New Testament.

There have been many names or
titles assigned to Jesus. His personal name given to Him by the angel,
Gabriel, was "Jesus," which signifies Savior. Both Mary and Joseph were,
at different times, told to name Him Jesus. He was given this name at
His birth and at His circumcision. He was also called "the Christ" which
means Anointed One. Other names given to Him are "the son of Man," "the
Son of God," and "God our Savior."
*"The four
gospels
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are occupied in
furnishing facts illustrative of Jesus Christ
and his work as related to mankind; also in
teaching his relation to God. As these
Scriptures derive all their character and
significance from his personality and
life...faith in their teaching reposes on the
following propositions:
(1)
The absolutely
unique and perfect manhood of Jesus Christ among
men;
(2)
The realization
in him of all the Messianic predictions of
Scripture;
(3)
All his miracles being restorative, were part of
his redemptive plan;
(4)
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead, an
absolute historical fact;
(5)
The
transformation secured in the character of the
individual believer;
(6)
The Spirit's witness to personal adoption in
Christian consciousness...."
He was unique in His birth, His life, His death and
His resurrection.

A Testimony of
my Personal Journey into a Relationship with
Jesus Christ
by Eugene J.
Quiroz (Geno)
The
story of a very real person and his
desire to have a meaning for life and a
purpose for being here on earth. A
journey that’s filled with adventure and
excitement. A tale that has romance and
heroism, light and dark, good
verses evil. It is the story of
how one sad, lonely, depressed,
suicidal, self-destructive,
drug-addicted, alcoholic; came to see
the light of redemption and salvation,
and most of all, the only cure to
breaking the chain to these addictions
and receiving hope into your life. This
is a story about my personal journey of
coming to know Christ as my Lord and
Savior. (E. J. Quiroz)
