"The Bible teaches it's our sin that separates us from God. God who is holy cannot have a relationship with sin. And God can't let sin into his heaven. You were not born a Christian. You were born a sinner. You need to become a Christian. How do you do that? You say, well, I live a pretty good life! That makes you a good sinner, it doesn't make you a Christian. I got baptized. That makes you a wet sinner, but it doesn't make you a Christian. I go to church every week. That makes you a church-going sinner but it doesn't make you a Christian. I go to E-Free Church. That makes you a smart sinner but it doesn't make you a Christian.
A Christian is somebody who realizes that everything that had to be done for my sin to be forgiven happened when Jesus died on the cross in my place. There's nothing left to do. A Christian doesn't trust in what they do. A Christian trusts in what Christ already did for them. And the Bible says this, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. For who so ever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " Pastor Scott Distler
Matthew 16:21 NLT
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 From then on Jesus began to tell His disciples plainly that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem, and that He would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day He would be raised from the dead.
Blessings, Cecilia
