How to Escape Life and Death?
Posted: Jul 12, 2016
Perhaps you have taken something that envied someone’s properties, told a lie, or didn't belong to you? What about harboring a lustful heart or hating another individual? When we're fair, each of us will admit to doing things that are inappropriate.
Activities and our incorrect reasons — ones that look unimportant and little —condemn us as sinners: those that have missed the mark of God’s holiness. Due to sin, each of us is sentenced to everlasting separation from God. In this position of need, God encourages us to come to Him and receive His gift of redemption.
The Human IssueWorld has resisted and disobeyed God’s Law. We rebelled against loving God with all that we're and have believed Satan’s lies. Being just and holy, our sin will not be tolerated by God. "Your iniquities [ moral evil] have made a separation between your God and you, and your sins have hidden his face from you…" (Isaiah 59:2, ESV).
God holds every individual in charge of word, each idea, and actions. When you do what's incorrect, "the wages [brought in benefit] of sin is passing…" (Romans 6:23). You are condemned by your sin to everlasting anguish in hell and everlasting separation from God. (See Matthew 13:49–50.)
Your attempts to make amends for the wrong you've done cannot revoke the just judgment of God. Even those people who are spiritual, morally virtuous, and do good works cannot meet God’s demand of perfect righteousness. "There's none righteous, no, not one …. For all have sinned, and come short of [neglected to match the superiority of] the glory of God" (Romans 3:10, 23).
Divine RedemptionAlong with being just and holy, God is loving and merciful. He designed the human race to understand Him and to bring Him glory. We became slaves to sin and neglected to carry through this excellent goal —but a strategy was orchestrated by God for our redemption.
God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, into the world to execute this mission. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life in entire obedience to God. He voluntarily took upon Himself the fury of His Father’s wrath against our sin; He died and suffered in our area.
After interment and Jesus’ death, God raised Him from the dead, validating His sacrifice in our area and thereby proclaiming Jesus. (See Romans 1:1–4.)
The Gospel of Jesus ChristIn the Bible, many verses describe what God did for us through His love. Below are several references telling the good news of redemption in Jesus Christ.
You are forgiven by God of all your sins. (See I John 3:8–10.) You're redeemed from the bondage to sin and will spend eternity in paradise with God. (See Romans 6:22.)
He's "the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (Romans 8:15–17).
