so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:28 NIV
Christ did not come to condemn the world...but to convict the sinful nature humanity has openly embraced. His ultimate sacrifice is the gateway to a new life in this world and life eternal with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Heaven. It's time to let the sinful nature within us die and pass away like the days of old the are long forgotten. Luke 9:23-24 says "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me! For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it." Death to sinfulness in this life must become the former "you" in order to pick the cross, the "new you" and follow Him. Let us edify each other to do just that, and then let it spread like wildfire! Amen
