Jesus' Gift to YOU!!! (and how to get it)The Problem: Romans 3:23 "For all have sined and fallen short of the glory of God" The Solution(Gift): John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so whosoever that belives in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." How to Get it: John 3:3 "No one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." How you do that: Romans 10:9-10 "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation."
As you may very well be aware, you're not perfect. We
all make mistakes, and to be quite honest with ourselves,
we really don't need Satan's help in that area, but he
is eager to give it anyways, so where there is one sin,
more follow. Unfortunately, those imperfections are the
few (zillion) things that can and do keep us out of heaven
and just as unfortunately, that means once we leave the
planet,we have no place else to go but down... way, way,
WAY down.What? You don't think that sounds fair? Well,
actually, if we think about it, it is, but luckily for
us, Jesus and His Father decided that that was not good,
and came up with a plan to help "bridge" the gap a bit
(okay, a lot), without going back and throwing out free
will (which is exactly how he could have easily avoided
evil, but aren't we glad He decided that that was the
greater evil). The plan was this: Jesus would step down
off his royal throne and become one of us. I can only
imagine how UN-fun that must have been, but He did it
anyways. Even more un-fun was last part. Not only did
He get the privalage of going from being One with our loving omnipotent diety to one of the lowest human life
forms, at least according to those of among us that look down on and despise the homeless, (see Mathew 8:20, "the Son of Man has no place to lay his head" sounds pretty homeless to me)He also got to
die one of the most humilitating and painful deaths
imaginiable-crucifixion. Then He got to go spend three
days in hell battling Satan (a battle that naturally
ended with His victory in which He rescued all the old
testament saints and good jews according to some), before returning to earth in a set of
clothes that at least faintly resembled His former
glory to prove to us fair mortals He was still alive
and finally at long last, more than 33 painful earth years
later, finally was able to return to His kingdom.
This, was His Gift to us.
Because of what He did, anybody who believes in Him gets
a free visa into His kingdom... and His family.
