Eight Essential Truths Emerge from God's Story of Hope

 

The Story of Hope is not just a story. It has the power to change your life forever if you can understand and accept eight essential truths:

6) Cross

What we have learned about the death of Jesus Christ:

  1. Because God is perfectly holy He must punish those who disobey His commandments.
  2. Because God loves us even though we sin, He extends His mercy and grace to us in providing a just way in which we can be forgiven.
  3. In the Old Testament, God established a sacrificial system through which sinners could have their sins forgiven. 
  4. God sent His Son Jesus to be the one perfect and final sacrifice for all sin. 
  5. Because religious and political leaders hated Jesus, they manipulated people and twisted the law to condemn Him to die. 
  6. Jesus willingly died in our place on a cross as our perfect sacrificial Lamb of God, the once-for-all payment for our sins. 
  7. Three days later, Jesus rose to life again, showing that God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice as a just payment for our sins.

1 Peter 2:24
