That’s the heart of the Gospel! Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a sinless life, and willingly went to the cross to die for our sins, so that we might have eternal life and a personal relationship with God. As He said in John 12:27:

“Now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this purpose that I have come to this hour.”

Jesus’ death and resurrection provide:

1. Forgiveness: Our sins are forgiven, and we’re reconciled to God.
2. Redemption: We’re freed from the power of sin and death.
3. Justification: We’re declared righteous before God.
4. New life: We receive eternal life and a new nature.
5. Access to God: We can now approach God with confidence.

As Romans 5:8 says:

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Jesus’ sacrifice was an act of love, grace, and mercy, offering us a gift we couldn’t earn or deserve. May we forever cherish and share the truth of His amazing love!
