Good Friday Message--Why Jesus died for us

Our Lord God is all forgiving and all powerful.
Our Lord God is also JUST and RIGHTEOUS.

Our Lord God's righteousness and justice demand that sin be punished (Romans 3:23; 6:23).

Since all sin is ultimately committed against God (Psalm 51:4), the only just punishment for sin is death (Roman 6:23).

We know this fact well...BECAUSE WE ALL DIE.

Question:
How will you ever be righteous in the eyes of God?

Do you think that your works, forgiveness of sins by a man, long and heart felt prayers, or even the saints will help you?

Really? YOU'RE DEAD!

Thank the Lord that He has provided salvation beyond the ways of man!!

1. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14)

2. When Jesus died on the cross, He died WITHOUT SIN...and the world (with Satan),
OWES THE LORD GOD HIS LIFE BACK. (Hebrews 9:15-17 15).

3. The world (with Satan) CANNOT give the Lord God His life back...for no one but
the Lord God is the Creator of Life. (John 1:1-5, 14, 17 and 18)

4. Because Jesus was PERFECT and He was CRUCIFIED for being SINLESS... the world
owes Him HIS Life...HE GIVES YOU LIFE BY YOUR FAITH"ing" IN HIM...
ASK HIM...KNOW HIM...READ HIS WORD...LIVE BY HIM! TOTAL FAITH"ing"!!!

5.
John 11:25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth (faith"eth") in Me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:

6.
Jesus’ death was sufficient to pay for all the sins that have ever been
committed (2 Corinthians 5:21).

7.
John 3: 16-21

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does
not beleive is condemned already, because he has not
beleived in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

"And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.

"For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not
come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

"But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds
may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
