Love, Christianity, Jesus and Salvation

It seems like Christianity and Jesus are increasingly under attack. What's going on? What we'll be looking at is what happens when Christians use human wisdom to interpret the Bible, twisting scripture away from its intended message. This blog is dedicated to using Scripture itself to interpret and help us understand Scripture. You are welcome to add your comments and thoughts. Other viewpoints are welcome. Disagreements are welcome.

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned---" - Romans 5:12

Would you consider yourself to be a good person?

Okay, maybe not a perfect person, but at least good enough to get into heaven?

How good do you have to be to get into heaven? That's a question we answer on our web site. I've asked people around the world this question, and the answer is same everywhere. "I am a good person... at least good enough to get into heaven."

How good is good enough?

It is perfect. If you disobey God just once, that's it. You're headed for hell. But we don't disobey God just once. You and I regularly disobey God... every day. As Romans 5:12 says, we have all sinned. And that means we have earned the penalty for breaking God's law. Hell. Death.

But, God so loved the world... God loves us so much, how could He send us to hell? I though God was forgiving.

God does love us. He loves you. Imagine you have committed a serious crime and are standing before a judge in a courtroom, and you are obviously guilty. The judge is a good judge. The judge really cares about you. What does the judge do? Does he let you go free? No. You must pay the penalty for breaking the law.

God loves you. But you've broken His law and the penalty must be paid. That penalty is death, what we call hell. But God loves you so much that He did something very special. He paid you penalty in your place. He paid the death penalty so you can go free.

Do you want to go free? Do you want to be free of the penalty for sin? Turn from sin and trust that Jesus Christ did die to pay the penalty you owe for disobeying God.
