It is important to understand the death of Christ on the cross and its significance. Scarcely will someone die for another unless the person loves that someone dearly. Christ is the judge who came down from His throne above to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins which is death. His death and resurrection brought us a renewed hope and assurance of eternal life.
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5(KJV)
His stripes and oozing blood cleansed us from all unrighteousness. His finished work on Calvary cross left us with no doubt and guilt of sin.
He said on the cross, "It is finished." Meaning there was no more any substitution for our sins except His blood alone.
What can wash away my sins,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh, precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow,
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 1 Peter 3:17-18 (NKJV)
Because of the work done on Calvary cross,
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. John 3:36(NIV)
The choice is yours! Will you believe in the saving power of Jesus' blood and be saved from eternal damnation or will you rather ignore Him and perish in hell fire? The choice is yours! Cast your vote now! Time is not on your side.
