we need to be very clear in understanding who Jesus is and what he has done for us, in order that we might confidently place our faith in him. he bridged the chasm separating us from god. in the apostle john’s words: “for god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (john 3:16).Jesus was not just a good man, a great teacher, an inspired prophet. he came to earth as the son of god. he was born to a virgin. he led a sinless life. he died. he was buried. he rose again on the third day. he ascended into heaven where he became both lord and Christ.
Jesus’ death and resurrection on our behalf satisfied god’s requirement – complete provision for our sin. this Jesus, and he alone, is qualified to be the remedy for my sin and yours.
