In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, God
made mankind. Human beings were created by God in His image. Holy God does not
tolerate sin. Mankind sinned against God. God is just therefore He requires a
punishment for sin. God’s punishment for sin is death. Before Jesus’ death,
God’s people had to offer sacrifices in the temple for their sins. The blood of
animals was sacrificed to make atonement for sin. God wanted to save His
children, mankind, from their sin. God wanted His children to live forever. God
is a loving father, but God is just. Sin against God is punishable by God’s
wrath. God’s love for humans is deep. God Almighty desire to restore humans was
so deep he promised to send a savior to die for the sins of mankind. Man would
no longer need to make animal sacrifices as atonement for sin. God himself would
come and die in our place for our sins. Shed blood would be the exact punishment.
Jesus paid the price. Your sins and mine are covered by The Blood. The Messiah
would give his life as a sacrifice, once and for all, for forgiveness of sin.
Mankind would be restored to a right relationship with God through the shed blood
of Jesus Christ on the cross. God kept His promise.
Do you keep your promises to God? Have you surrendered your life to
Jesus Christ? Give the Lord permission to manage your life. That is what the
journey to Calvary was all about. It was for you. Receive salvation today.
