But because He is perfect, He cannot allow our sin to go unpunished without ceasing to be perfect, because he would then cease to be God. The sin-bill must be paid. Religion and good living cannot pay it. So He paid for our evil thoughts and deeds Himself. He came to Earth as a human, Jesus Christ. He came to suffer the punishment you and I deserve so we won't have to. Three days later, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The most important decision you will ever make is what you do with Him... How Do We Know This? 1 Peter 2:24, TLB - He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross. Isaiah 53:4-6, NIV - Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. >>>step 4: you must choose this relationship with God>>> Teen7.Net Teen7.Net Teen7.Net Joey Cristina Copyright ©2002 Joey Cristina
