Adam, the first man, broke God’s command by eating from the tree that he was told not to eat from. Adam was originally appointed as the ruler of the earth, so when he sinned, his entire kingdom (the whole earth and its inhabitants) fell with him.
The devil came in the form of a serpent and tricked Adam’s wife Eve into eat from the tree, and Adam ate after being offered the fruit by Eve.
By heeding the devil’s temptation, the rulership of the earth was handed to him (Satan), and death came into the world because of Adam’s sin.
Ever since then, every man and woman was born with sin that is inherited from Adam, passed down via the genes. Man was in a desperate condition, cut off from God because of sin.
God loves mankind and doesn’t want man to perish in their sins.
Thankfully, the Son of God willingly chose to lay aside His divine glory and submitted to God the Father’s will.
He was born of a virgin, as a Man and named “Jesus”.
He grew up in obscurity, and at the age of thirty, began a public ministry of miracle healing, casting out demons, opening the eyes of the blind and making the deaf hear. He went about doing good in the power of the Holy Spirit, proving that He was God’s anointed one (the Christ).
After three and a half years later, Jesus was falsely accused of blasphemy and whipped until He was bleeding profusely from His body. He was subsequently sentenced to death by crucifixion, and had to carry a heavy cross to a place called Golgotha on Mount Moriah, and He was crucified there.
God the Father placed all the sins of the world throughout time upon Jesus, and unleashed the fire of God’s wrath as a punishment for all those sins He carried. Jesus was punished as if He were the worst sinner in existence.
For three hours starting from noon, darkness came upon the whole land, reflecting what was going on in the spiritual realm. Jesus hung there, being drained of His precious lifeblood for our sakes, and He endured every trace of punishment for our sins.
When every sin had been punished, Jesus cried out, “It is finished!” He gave up His spirit after completing His mission of being the perfect atoning sacrifice for our sins, and entrusted Himself into the Father’s hands.
Jesus’ body was buried in the tomb of a rich man, and the tomb was then heavily guarded by Roman soldiers and even sealed by the huge stone. This was to ensure that no one would steal Jesus’ body and claim that He had resurrected.
On the third day after His death, Jesus rose from the dead early at the break of dawn, and walked out of the tomb, phasing through the huge stone. He proved that He was a perfect, unblemished sacrifice, and death had no claim over Him (death can only fasten on a sinner because the wages of sin is death).
He appeared to His disciples and many others—multiple hundreds of people, before ascending to Heaven forty days later, and He sat down at the right hand of the Father, far above all principalities and powers.
Jesus was bestowed with the name that is above every name because He who is the King of all creation humbled Himself so low, even to the death of the cross, restoring what He did not lose.
This same Jesus who lives by an everlasting life and who will never die again, invites you to freely receive the gift of salvation from Him if you haven’t done so.
As the only begotten Son of God, the blood that Jesus shed for you is an overpayment for your sin debt which you owe God.
Just by believing and confessing Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, all your record of sins will be wiped clean by His precious blood, and you will be adopted as a royal priest in God’s family.
This forgiveness of sins comes through an everlasting agreement God has made through Jesus, called the “New Covenant of Grace”.
When you agree to be under Grace, you will become God’s beloved child, favored, blessed with every blessing, and an heir with an inheritance to receive and enjoy now, and in the eternal ages to come.
If you are ready to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior and enjoy true happiness with a quality of life called eternal life, just speak this prayer whenever you are ready:
“Dear Jesus Christ, I receive You as my Lord and Savior. I believe that You carried my sins as you hung on the cross and that you were punished by the Father for them. You were buried, and then you rose again on the third day as a proclamation that all my sins have been perfectly forgiven. I believe that I am now a child of God, forever saved, and greatly blessed because of Your precious blood that has cleansed me. Baptize me with Your Holy Spirit, clothe me with Your power from Heaven, and use my life for Your glory from now on. In Jesus’ precious name I pray, Amen!”
