THE PROBLEM
We have all done things that
are wrong, and we have failed to obey God's laws. Because of this,
we have been separated from God our Creator. Separation from God is
death; but, by ourselves, we can do nothing to become united with
God.
WHY JESUS COULD HELP
Jesus was not only a man; He
was God's unique Son. Because Jesus never disobeyed God and never
sinned, only He can bridge the gap between the sinless God and sinful
mankind.
THE SOLUTION
Jesus freely offered His life
for us, dying on the cross in our place, taking all our wrongdoing
upon Himself, and saving us from the consequences of sin –
including God's judgment and death.
THE RESULTS
Jesus took our past, present,
and future sins upon Himself so that we could have new life. Because
all our wrongdoing is forgiven, we are reconciled to God.
Furthermore, Jesus' resurrection from the dead is the proof that His
substitutionary sacrifice on the cross was acceptable to God, and His
resurrection has become the source of new life for whoever believes
that Jesus is the Son of God. All who believe in Him may have this
new life and live in union with Him.
