Happy Birthday, Mainframe! 11/29/2019

Here's a little message that all need to hear.

You an I have sinned against God. We have lied, stolen, used God's name as a cuss word, lusted, coveted, hated and disobeyed our parents. We cannot change our past. Our evil actions are written recorded in God's mind. No wonder He is so angry at us that He often punishes us in many ways. We have broken God's laws, and thus deserve to go to hell.

But, let us remember, God is Love. God sent His Only Begotten Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. He gave Him as a gift to all mankind. How is He a gift? This Gift promises you that He will forgive of what you have done against Him. God is just. Justice may no longer be targeted at us, who sin against God and do evil everyday.
Justice and it's punishment was instead targeted at Christ. Jesus is the most precious person to the Father. Yet the Father risked the Life of His Son. That's why He was so severely punished. He was mocked, hated, beaten, rejected, laughed at, spat on, whipped, His hands were pierced and His feet too. Jesus is the free Gift, that anyone can appeal to, and ask, and they may receive Him. Jesus stood in our place, as a representative of mankind, and said "Forgive them".

Jesus died for all mankind without exception, and that includes you.

He has paid the price, the very big price, that you were not able to pay through your own punishment.

God made the moral law, we broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. Right before Jesus died, He said "It is finished". In other words, our debt is paid.

The Father risked the life of His Precious Son, for you. That's the Good News! All what you need to do is respond to God's appeal, or accept the gift that God is wanting to send you. If you say with your mouth "Jesus is my Lord" and believe in your heart that the God raised Jesus from the dead, then you will be saved. Not only that, but this is a LIFELONG commitment. Make your decision and count the cost. It's not gonna be easy. If you come to Christ, then you must deny everything at His feet, that means even your own life. What I mean is that you must prefer Jesus over everything else, and by a high degree. Only then will He raise you up, on wings like eagles. You shall be freed from the bondage of sin. If you are actively doing something that is wrong and immoral, God commands you that you must turn away from them. Turn away from Satan. You know pretty well that they are wrong. Apologize to God, say you're sorry. He will forgive you because Christ willingly shed His blood for you. You don't deserve forgiveness, it's only because God wants to forgive you.
