Accepting Jesus in your heart
you get Love and Immortality!
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die...
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us! Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Not only is this true, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation!
Romans 5:6-11
"...everyone who believes in Jesus may have eternal life,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not die but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned..."
John 3:15-16
"...And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life..."
1 John 5:11-13
God's New Covenant (Will/Testament) begins at the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
Hebrews 8:7-14; 9:14-18
The Gospel is about Life and Death --not about sin!
The resurrected Life of Jesus in me gives me eternal life and real love!
Jesus' death destroyed my sins forever at the cross, sins which caused my spiritual Death! Jesus' resurected life gives me eternal life (and so much more!)
Romans 5:6-11; 6:23;
3.The Grace of God now teaches me to say no to unrighteousness, and how to live life acceptable to God..
Titus 2:11-13
4.The effect of the Cross was eternal so that the God's gift of life to me could be eternal. Hebrews 7:25
5. Receiving Him, I now have eternal life, forgiveness of sins, love, truth, peace and much more.
He now lives His life in me, and through me, to do His work -- announcing and bringing HIS unconditional love and eternal life to all who are still dead because of sin.

1 John 5:11-14; Romans 5:11;
