Bible Note: Greetings calmithewolfe, and welcome to the forum. As the Bible states, they are coming up short in the glory department as far as God is concerned. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Couple this with, Romans 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death; Now we are faced with a problem of considerable magnatude! One thing that God desires of us in order to be in his presence is that we are absolutely perfect and He is the standard for this perfection and or righteousness. That is a pretty bleak scenario until we look at the rest of God’s equation. This is where God’s Christ, Jesus, comes into the picture. God has a fantastic trade for even the worst people on this earth. God did something for us that we couldn’t do for our selves. He sent His perfect Son into the world to take our place and pay the price that we deserve. And if we will trust in God’s Son for paying the price for our sin, God says that he imparted our sin to Jesus and for trusting in Jesus, God goes one step further and imparts the righteousness of Christ to us. As a result when we trust in Jesus God credits to our account His perfect righteousness. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. What a deal, that's why the message of Jesus is called the good news or Gospel, have a nice day, CDBJ |
