Only Jesus Himself was purely and truly righteous as a human being.  He never sinned.  He never displeased His eternal Father.  He had the right to eternal life.  Yet Jesus took our curse on Himself, took our punishment for sin -- in order that we might become perfectly righteous in God's eyes.  He took the reward that we deserved and gave us the reward that only He rightly deserved.  Jesus said:    "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.” (John 5:24)   "The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out." (John 6:37)       The fact is Jesus loves you and he promises that He will never turn away the sinner who comes to Him in simple faith.  That's what Jesus did for you, for me, for everyone.  And all who accept what Jesus has done, all who admit their need of a Savior, all who place their trust in Jesus will receive the gift of eternal life that Jesus has made available.  Now you know what Jesus did for you.  The only question that remains is this: What will you do about it?   ...back...
