Christ Paid the Penality

 

Christ Paid the Penalty

“But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

God loves us beyond what we comprehend. But He proves it to us by Jesus’ death. He does not ask that we clean up before coming to Him. He just asks that we come to Him and then He will work on cleaning us up. 

“For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, after being put to death in the fleshly realm but made alive in the spiritual realm.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Jesus only has to die once for all the past, present, and future sins. Why? Because He was sinless and perfect and in being so He was not condemned to die by God. But Satin had to work overtime to get him to die because if Jesus stayed alive He would be ruler over the world. News flash He is still alive! And we can too. Jesus’ death was a down payment for our souls to inherit eternal life with Jesus both now and forever. 

Will you accept Jesus and welcome His eternal life? 

“If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
