“That if One died for all, then all died” 2 Corinthians 5:14
The death of Jesus is the only hope for mankind. The Bible explains no one can come to God except through Jesus.
The estrangement of man from God can only be broken by entering into the death of Jesus. An individual can plead to God endlessly but He will not open the door.
Jesus is perfect and without sin. He was obedient to His Father to die on the Cross so all mankind could receive the gift of salvation and be made clean by the blood of Jesus.
The Cross causes a person to identify with Jesus and die to anything inside him that was never in Jesus. This process begins with a decision for Jesus and culminates in Heaven.
The sanctification of God makes a person Christlike. This work happens through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling inside a believer combined with faith in Jesus. Without faith you cannot please God or benefit from His promises.
Jesus is not looking for perfection just an open and willing heart to seek Him out.
The death of Jesus is your only hope for an abundant life filled with the righteousness of God. The Cross gives you the ability to do the will of Jesus on earth as it is done in Heaven.
