So, I am going to give you the good news and the bad news:
The bad news: You are a guilty sinner, deserving of God's wrath, and so am I. We have lied, spoken blasphemy, stolen, and murdered, if not in body, in spirit. These are only four of the ten commandments. The Bible says that if we offend in ONE point, we are guilty of ALL. Based on a standard of human morality, or commandment keeping, we are all EPIC FAILURES and stand guilty before the God Who made us.
The good news: 2000 years ago God sent His own Son to this earth in human body. Remaining fully God, He also became fully man. He lived a perfect life, kept every law, and fully pleased God in every way that we have failed. Even though He was tempted in every way, that we are, He remained pure from every sin. But because of OUR sin, He willingly gave His body to be crucified on a tree, receiving the FULL WRATH of God that we deserved, in Himself. He became sin, that we might become the righteousness of God, that we could become clean, purified before God, declared innocent by Him, that we might live FOR Him NOW, and in eternity.
Part of living for Him NOW, means believing in Him: placing your full faith in Him, in the sacrifice that He made on behalf of His own, and repenting: changing our direction in life, from running headlong into sin, including relying on our own standards or goodnesss to earn us favor with God, and turning to Christ, Who has become our life and our salvation. |
