Reader,
For you to go to Heaven, you have to become as Righteous as God. As it only the righteous who exist there and who are allowed to stay there once they arrive.
And the problem is, you have no way to become righteous. You have already sinned, so, that's it.
So, you now have this to resolve, and you can't resolve it, because you can't take care of your own sin.
You can't get it off of you. You can't stop God's judgement against SIN.
So, you are in a mess, and you can't solve it of yourself, and if its not solved you are going to die and go to hell.
There is Good news..... God has a Solution. God has a eternal resolution for you that is a "Gift".
Its This...
Here is your Salvation....
God took responsibility for your sin, so that you could be given His very RIGHTEOUSNESS.
2nd Corinthians 5:21...""God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."""
See that?
And once you have it, once you are born again and not just water baptized, then you have it, and that is why God can accept you and brings you into His family,, for eternity.
How does God provide this for you?
He came here as Jesus and lived a sinless life, and kept the law and commandments... He fulfilled the law, by keeping it, because you didnt and can't.
Then, He went to the Cross and took the judgement do the world for all SIN upon Himself, and this resolved it and forgave all sin.
2nd Corinthians 5:19 : """"God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them."""
This is God as Christ on the Cross, dying for all your sin.
When this was completed, this death of God's body, and shedding of God's blood on the Cross for the sin of the world... this SALVATION....Jesus then said..>"IT is Finished".. The IT, is what God had accomplished that IS your Salvation.
This Salvation, that God Himself earned, is offered as "The GIFT of Salvation".
Every person who will come to Jesus, and believe, is given this GIFT.
This GIFT, is eternal, as this is GOD's Blood that is shed, not just man's.
This GIFT, is preached, as "the preaching of the Cross", and this message is the message of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19. It is what Paul defines as : "my Gospel".
It is God offering what He did on the Cross to anyone will be "call on the name of Jesus, believing,"... or "as many as BELIEVE in Jesus.... He gives to you Eternal Life".
--------------------------------------------------
So, its by faith that you believe this GOSPEL, and its "faith comes by hearing" is how the Holy Spirit opens your inner understanding to know this Truth, and receive it.
The very second you do, 2 eternal things happen to you.
1.) God applies His shed blood to you, and that resolves all your sin, forever. "being NOW made FREE from sin"... Romans 6.
2.) Once the blood of God has taken care of your sin, then God's Holy Spirit gives you a New Birth of your Spirit and you are born again by the Spirit of God into God's Holy Spirit.
You become "ONE with God, IN Christ". A "Son of God". "Redeemed". "blood bought", "forgiven", "made righteous".
Notice who is on the Cross.
This is Jesus. And the best way to understand all of this, is to just recognize one thing.... reader.
Jesus Himself IS Salvation.
So, if you have Him in you, "Christ in you the hope of Glory", then you are born again and you have Eternal Life and "you shall never perish"... John 10:28
