Man's Call To Salvation

The bad things we do separate us from God. Because God is holy and pure ( he wouldn't be much of a God if he wasn't), he can't be with anything that's less than holy.

Someone has to take the punishment for this bad things. What's the punishment? Death. A Spiritual death no, separated away from God first, and later a physical death. So, who is going to die for the bad things we do? You? Me? Well, yes, we will pay for the bad things we do unless ...

Unless there's someone who will die in our place. That's where the "God gave" part comes in. God gave Jesus to die for us. When he died on the cross, our since were taken care of.

But then Jesus came back to life a couple of days later. That's how he can be so close to us in our thoughts and in our hearts today.
