Jesus the Savior

 

    Jesus is the savior of the world.  He is the savior for every person that has or will ever live.  The cost of sin has always been blood.  He bled and died for you.  He paid the price, so that you would not have to.  He is the perfect sacrifice.  It can't ever be tainted.  You do not have to sacrifice animals or be circumcised anymore to be righteous.  All you have to do is believe and follow Jesus.

    The law of God was given to reveal sin.  It shows everyone how much each person needs God to be holy.  Obedience is expected and required, but since Jesus it should come from a place of love instead of fear alone.  Jesus atoned for your sins, so that you would not have to face eternal death.  His atonement makes you holy and gives your forgiveness.

    Jesus is the savior of the world.  His sacrifice opened the door to Heaven, so that you have access to God.  You no longer have to go through another person to find atonement, forgiveness, or any type of communication with God.  You can pray directly to God yourself.

    Jesus' death and resurrection replaced the Passover.  He freed you from any type of spiritual bondage or slavery.  All you have to do is believe and start following him.  He was the last sacrificial lamb.  He is the lamb that lives peacefully with the lion (God) in Heaven.  He protects you from the full wrath of God.  

    Sin brings God's wrath.  Everyone has sinned.  That means no matter how righteous you may find yourself, you have sinned.  God's idea of a good person does not match up with how people consider themselves or others as good people.  If you do not turn to Jesus, the truth, then your sin will separate you from God for eternity.  

    Jesus did not suffer in the manner that he did because it didn't affect him.  He felt everything.  He did it because he loves you and will always be obedient to God.  He endured and died a criminal's death to take your place so that you have the opportunity to spend eternity with God.  He absorbed all of God's wrath from your sins.  He paid the blood payment to make you pure and righteous before God.  His sacrifice defeated evil and eternal death.  Without Jesus, death has no meaning.
