God has revealed his love and grace to us in Jesus. If we take a look around us today or even back in history we see one big barrier separating us from a holy and righteous God. That barrier is “SIN”. It may only be a three-letter word, but it is what is separating YOU from God. The Bible tells us that “ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23) That includes you!
This sin-barrier is too much for us to take on ourselves. In fact, there is no way we can remove it on our own. That is why God sent someone to REMOVE it completely, a Saviour; Jesus Christ. God sent His OWN Son Jesus, to die in your place. He was crucified on a cross and shed His blood for YOU!
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Isaiah 45:21-25 “And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.24 Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength. To him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.25 In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.”
Romans 3:10-12 “There is not a righteous [man], not even one;11 there is not the [man] that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.12 All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:”
Roamsn 3:26 “for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.”
1 Peter 3:18 “for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God;”
