The Good News of Jesus
A biblical account of why Jesus is so pertinent in your life today -
God created humanity perfect (Genesis 1:31), but we disobeyed the command of God not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17) and because of this sin, could no longer be in the presence of a perfect God. (Romans 3:23) The consequence of our disobedience became the continuation of sin in the world and the reality of death, both eternal and physical. By God’s grace and love for us he sought to change the fate of humanity by giving his perfect son Jesus Christ as a free gift, with a desire that everyone be saved from death and reunited with him. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23, 2 Peter 3:9). This gift was a perfect Jesus who took our sin upon himself, died for all humanity, defeated death and became the only mediator between God and people (Romans 5:8, 1 Timothy 2:5-6). If one wants to receive the gift of eternal life rather than death they would confess with their mouth that they too have sinned, and believe in their heart that this Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9) and turn from their selfish ways to ways instead that glorify God (repent), accepting the forgiveness of their sins through Jesus’ sacrifice, and receive the Holy Spirit who works within us to help us conform not to the ways of this world but instead to imitate the perfection of Christ. (Acts 2:38, Romans 12:2)
