Jesus Died For You To Be Saved

[Frank Broom]

1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God has his hand extended towards you right now for you to receive what He is offering. Someone might be saying you don't know what I have done, no you don't know what Jesus has done. Jesus took your penalty for God to treat you as if you never did what you did. That's why God says, "I will remember your sins no more" (Hebrews 8:12). If He doesn't remember them He can't be holding them against you. Jesus bore your sins to be punished in your place so that God could treat you like as if you were him a man that has no sin. 2 Cor 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. One meaning of righteous is innocent, Jesus was made sin for you, to be found guilty in your place so that you could be found innocent in his place, because Jesus knew/did no sin. Rom 8:1,2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. There is no condemnation to those who receive Jesus, none from God because He doesn't see you based on how you see you. He sees you as his word says, holy, righteous because it's not based on your actions. Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Before you did one sin you were a sinner(that was your nature). You were not made a sinner based on what you did, but by what someone else did. So likewise, you are not made righteous based on your actions(it's your new nature). It's not based on your action, but by the action of Jesus, the last Adam.

That's why he had to be born of a virgin, because the seed came from God so he didn't have a sin nature. So, by the actions of Jesus(the last Adam) you receive his nature by being born again just like you received Adam's nature when you were born. John 3:3,7 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. All you have to do is be born again to receive that nature. And that new nature will bring new fruit, fruits of righteousness. Ephesians 2:5,7,8 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;). 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. So, it was God's idea first not mans that God wants to be good to you. So, it's not about how bad you have been, but about how good God is and wants to be towards you (yes you). Romans 2:4 it's the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. Don't let that go to waste, receive. His hand is extended to you right now and every second. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. He's knocking right now at the door of your heart, but will you open it and receive him in.

It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

Does that mean I don’t have to die anymore?
If the wages of sin is death, and Jesus took my place, and paid for my sins, that means I don’t have to die.

I was thinking that Jesus himself had to be saved from death through resurrection from the dead. And if we look to him as the accepted sacrifice, we too may be raised from the dead like he was.
