Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the Gift of God is Eternal Life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Every human being is born a sinner. We all have within us something called the sin nature. This is why we are prone to sin. God hates sin. He will not and cannot tolerate sin in any way, shape, or form. The punishment for sin is death.
Because Adam and Eve fell into sin, every person born is a sinner. God created human beings in three parts: Body, soul, and spirit. Our bodies are the fleshly tent we live in while alive on this earth. This part of us gets old, deteriorates, and will eventually die. However, our soul and spirit never dies. They are eternal, meaning that they live on forever somewhere. The question at hand is, Where will your soul and spirit spend eternity?
There are only two eternal destinations: Heaven and Hell. Everyone who has ever lived is in one place or the other. There is no other option. Since everyone is a sinner and God cannot tolerate sin, every person who died not Redeemed, is in Hell and will remain there for all of eternity.
While every person is bound for eternity in Hell because of their sin, God made a Way for everyone to be Redeemed which is to be forgiven of every sin and made Righteous in God’s Eyes. This is God’s Will for every person on Earth. Who desires all men to come to the Knowledge of the Truth. (1 Timothy 2:4)
We are all God’s Creation and He loves us all so much that’s why He sent His Son to die on the Cross for our sins. God made a way for us to be Saved from sin. This includes the punishment for sin which is death and eternity in Hell and the power of sin in our lives now which is a life of torment, pain, and suffering while we are alive on this earth.
God does not want anyone to live in the bondage of Satan and sin. That is not His Plan for anyone. That’s why He sent Jesus to die on the Cross of Calvary. His Law demands a Blood Sacrifice for sin. Jesus paid that price for every human being and that includes you and me! Jesus went to the Cross to pay God’s Price for your life!
He was the ONLY one who could do this because He was the only perfect, sinless person to ever live. Jesus gave up His place in Heaven with God to come to earth and be Sacrificed by Crucifixion on the Cross of Calvary. He did this willingly because He knew God’s Plan for humanity. He died so we can live an Abundant Life here on Earth (John 10:10) and spend all of eternity in Heaven. (John 3:16)
Every person is condemned and bound for Hell. Faith in Jesus Christ and His Finished Work on the Cross is our Way out. All we have to do is believe it. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
The Word of God is true. God means what He says and He says what He means. IF you believe in the Finished Work of Christ on the Cross you stand Redeemed in the Eyes of God. If not, you are condemned to Hell. Today is the day of Salvation. Today is the day to believe in God’s Son and what He did for you on the Cross of Calvary. Jesus made this extremely clear. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18)
Faith in Christ will……….turn the tide
Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb of God! Doreen
