OCTOBER 7– 2 Cor. 5:21-“He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him”

SIN

Sin is the fundamental relationship

Involving wrong choices of our own.

Choosing to live, act and function

Independent from God alone.

Jesus faced the truth of our lineage

Jesus saw the dilemma we were in

Jesus counted the cost of His  transaction

When He took on Himself all our sin.

He deliberately shouldered the heavy weight

Of the sins of the whole human race.

He took our sin but He knew none.

So we could return to God’s intended place.

Redemption requires no self-equipment.

Redemption is not merely a wonderful  plan

Redemption is an experience Christ offers

Redemption is a gift from God’s hand.

Knowledge about redemption is wonderful.

Information and discussions are great

But the gift of redemption is not effective

Unless a man accepts it before it’s too late.
