of the glory of God.” Romans
5:1-2

Sin or disobedience to God’s ways
followed the generations down through
the ages. It demands the punishment of
death. But God made a way to fix this
problem. He sent His son, Jesus, to
stand in for you and me, because of His
great love for us. Jesus took upon Him-
self our fate. His sacrifice brought us
back into God’s favor.
Even though our parents may have
been Christians, or a close relative was a
preacher, or we went to church, or we are
basically a wonderful person; this will not
wipe away our sins and qualify us for
eternal life in God’s loving presence. Yet
the answer is simple. Maybe too easy for
some, but easy just the same.
All it takes is to believe in Jesus as
your Lord and Savior; the One who gave
His life for you. The One who then rose
from the dead, conquering death.
