The basics

God’s plan for salvation is simple.Every single soul in all of humanity, (with the single exception of Jesus Christ),hascommitted sin. God’s perfect nature cannot tolerate “any” sin, even sin that our society writes off as acceptable and as being very minor.

God has made clear that He takesALL sin very seriously, and in factonly the blood sacrifice of His Son Jesus is acceptable to Him to reconcile Himself to sinners. Jesus willingly took the punishment for our sins and offered His blood sacrificein order that we may live and be reconciled to God.

We must believe that Jesus Christ took the punishment for our sins when He offered Himself asa perfect innocent and sinless “Lamb”,as theonly acceptablesacrifice for all of humanities’ sins by shedding His blood and dying on a cross. He was then buried and thee days laterrose from the dead and finally after forty days of witnessing and giving instructions to His followers, ascended to heaven where He currently rules all of creation.

We must believe the foregoing, ask forgiveness for our sins and turn away from sin and our old lifestyle and start living our lives for Him and telling others about His tremendous love for us. In light of what He went through for us, He isn’t asking that much from us.

One day you and I and all of humanity will kneel before a holy and perfect God and face judgment for our lives in this world. Either we will have the blood of His Son Jesus as protection, or we will not. It will be terrifying for those who do not have Jesus by their side. They will be separated and cast into Hell, which has been described in the Bibleas a place of eternal torment, darkness, loneliness and damnation.Only those of uswho have accepted Christ as their savior will join Himand enter paradise forever. I stand with Jesus. How about you?
