2 Corinthians 5:21

"God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Sin is not something we can catch like a cold. Sin doesn't enter our systems by over-exposure to bad people. Sin is in us. It has been deep within us since the day we were born. Sin will kill us, because sin = death.

The only remedy for our certain death? A perfect life must be sacrificed in our stead to cancel out the sin-death equation. The best news you'll ever hear is that the perfect sacrifice was made for you by the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He took the weight of our sin upon him and his death cancelled out our death. If you accept Jesus as your Saviour your equation is transformed: the righteousness of Jesus = eternal life.

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."   [*

Which equation will you choose?

"I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now CHOOSE LIFE, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life."   [**]
