Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: We who are in Christ, have been delivered from sin's penalty: ETERNAL SEPARATION (see Romans 6:23) FROM GOD AND FROM HIS SON FOREVER IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! The Bible says that this Lake, which burns with EVERLASTING fire and brimstone (burning sulfur), is the second death (Revelation 20:10-15)!
Many people will admit that they commit sin and are, therefore, sinners. However, most sinners are not aware of the biblical penalty for sin in the sight of God. Today in society, many people do not clearly know what sin is according to the Bible.
1 John 3:4 declares that sin is lawlessness: "4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness [ignoring God’s law by action or neglect or by tolerating wrongdoing—being unrestrained by His commands and His will]." Sin is disobeying a scriptural law of God. For example, murder, lying, and stealing are sins because these actions violate the ten commandments. God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from Him in a place of eternal judgment called The Lake of Fire: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). The apostle Paul declared in Ephesians 2:1-6, that every sinner is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, but God in His mercy and grace has provided a way to escape sin’s condemnation. Salvation (or deliverance from sin’s penalty) has been provided through the atoning sacrifice of Christ Jesus - AND IN HIM ALONE!
Romans 5 tells us in verse 6: "While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly." Amen! It is a blessed truth to know that we can be forgiven our sins and go to Heaven, instead of going to a burning as we await final sentencing at the Great White Throne Judgment (see Revelation 20). The Gospel proclaims that Jesus paid sin’s penalty through His substitutionary death as a sin offering, thereby saving believers from the coming wrath of God! Jesus died, was buried, and rose again, proving that God accepted His payment for sin. Jesus was punished for our sins so that we could be forgiven and avoid sin’s punishment. This is the true concept of salvation.
Salvation is a gift of grace and is received by believing the gospel. The gospel, when believed, “is the power of God to Salvation for everyone who believes.” (Romans 1:16). When a sinner personally believes the gospel, he becomes justified as a completely righteous person before God! Amen!
🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
