Hello there! Can I give you a TRIVIA?
This is truth, whole truth, nothing but the truth.
Before you claim the truth, you must KNOW the truth. The literal embodiment of TRUTH is your DEFENDER, Jesus. For He claim, "I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life." [John 14:6] And He has proven it.
It all started from the LAW, not just any law, but the LAW of the living GOD.
DO YOU KNOW WHY THERE IS DEATH?
DEATH IS WAGES... in other words, PENALTY.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. [Romans 6:23]
God is the LAWGIVER and JUDGE [Psalm 7:11], for He gave the 10 commandments as His absolute MORAL Law. We, humans, are the LAWBREAKERS for we disobeyed His Laws [James 2:10]. We are GUILTY criminal in the eyes of an infitnite most powerful God. As penalty for our crime, we deserve capital punishment [Romans 6:23]. Death in hell, a place of eternal torment [Matthew 13:42]... separated from all the goodness because hell is place of separation from God.
But for God loves us fully. He came down in the person of His Son, Jesus [Deuteronomy 32:4]. Jesus is your DEFENDER. Jesus died on the cross as payment for your own penalty, and resurrect to declare that He defended you from the cost of penalty. Death. So that, anyone who put their FAITH in Him will also have Jesus as their DEFENDER and victoriously overcome death (the gates of hell) and could walk out of the courtroom, receiving the eternal life. [1 Corinthians 15:55-57]
Faith in the DEFENDER, Jesus, demands repentance of sins [Acts 3:19]. Exposed all your dark secrets and skeletons in the closet to your DEFENDER, and He will change that clean [1 John 1:9-10]. He loves you, stay in your faith with Him. His LOVE is free, so receive it now through faithfulness. [Ephesians 2:8-9]
Got a Bible, New Testament? Read it and know more about your DEFENDER, so you could FULLY lay your trust in Him.
