Because all of us have sinned ( lying, cheating, sex outside of marriage which includes adultery & living together, abortion, homosexuality, idol worship, pride, coveting other peoples property, murder, stealing and much more ) none of us can get into heaven or have fellowship with a HOLY GOD. Before the world or anything was even created, GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON and GOD the HOLY SPIRIT made a plan that GOD the SON would be born of a virgin ( at the right time ), would grow up in human form, heal diseases, raise the dead and preach the gospel to those that the religious leaders would never talk to, because those kinds of people were sinners and beneath them.
In Romans 6:23 GOD states - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS our LORD. The death that this verse is talking about is not only the physical death but a spiritual death and separation from a HOLY GOD and the home that HE would have prepared for you in heaven. No amount of works can get us into heaven. No amount of works can pay for our sin.
GOD required a perfect, sinless sacrifice as payment for our sin. That HE got when JESUS was crucified on the cross, buried and rose again on the 3rd.day. If JESUS would not have risen from the dead, that would have meant that GOD the FATHER was not satisfied with the sacrifice, but JESUS did raise from the dead and is seated at the right hand ( the hand of power ) of the FATHER making intersession for us.
OUR SIN OF ALL KINDS had separated us from a HOLY GOD, but JESUS paid the price for our sin and now all we have to do is accept HIS precious gift of salvation. Call upon JESUS in prayer, ask HIM to come into your heart and life as your LORD and SAVIOR, HE will, HE is waiting to come in as Revelation 3:20 states - Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears MY voice and opens the door ( HE will not force HIS way in ), I will come into him and dine with him, and he with ME !!!
DON'T DELAY !!!! Today is the day of salvation, tomorrow may be too late !!!
Your servant in CHRIST,
Julie
