You are a sinner.
Jesus died for your sins.
Confess you are a sinner.
Repent.
Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
NOW,
Be good, Go to Church, Read your Bible, Go to Bible Studies, Worship, Pray, Serve
Oh, let's not forget:
Tithe.
Doesn't that about sum it up?
But the gospel is so so much more than Jesus died for our sins.
There are two aspects to the work Jesus accomplished through His death, burial and resurrection.
1) His blood was shed for us, to bring us redemption- the forgiveness of sins. He is our Substitution.
2) He gave His body so that we might be united with Him in His death, burial and resurrection. We are united with Him.
Jesus! Came to:
release the capitve
heal the broken
open the eyes of the blind
set free the oppressed
give us abundant life (His life!)
put to death our sin nature
gave us a new nature, His nature- we are partakers of the divine nature
Sin is no longer our master
freedom
made our spirit alive
we have a COMPLETELY brand new INNER man
born again
we are sons of God
And so so so much more! God's grace is greater than we could ever imagine. Now remember this, Peter says in 2 Peter 3:18 to grow in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord Jesus Christ- the only way we can truly grow into full stature is to take hold of these facts- Who Jesus is, what He has accomplished for us- fully- and who we are because of what He has accomplished and overcame. We'll never grow up fully until we do. We will never fully grow in GRACE and KNOWLEDGE until we do.
Seek to know, this Truth. Ask God to reveal these truths to your spirit (the most real part of YOU). Because you don't want to live your life as stunted believer. Knowing there is something more but not knowing He is that something more.
