And from Jesus Christ, ...
...the first begotten of the dead, ....
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,..
Revelation 1:5
"The way for man's return to God and heaven has no barriers. The matchless depths of the Savior's love have been demonstrated; and if this manifestation of God's love for the children of men does not prevail to draw men to Himself, there is nothing that ever will."
Signs of the Times 12/30/1889 E.G.W.

* Christ's Mission:
1) To Live a Life WITHOUT Sin
2) So He could Die for OUR Sins
* Point of the Cross:
---God's Physical Laws are tightly wound and any deviation results in destruction (such as the nuclear force that holds atoms together-if it was off a fraction either way we wouldn't have carbon required for life)
---God's Moral Law is also tightly wound. When we deviate it's called Sin (we too are destroyed by death)
---Hence, the Point of the Cross-to make an exception.
* Gospel Simplified:
--For God so loved the world,
--he gave his only begotten Son,
--that whosoever believeth in him
--should not perish,
--but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
* Gospel Summarized:
--Christ Lived the Life we should Live
--Christ Died the Death we should Die
--Hence, weaving a perfect Robe of Righteousness for us
For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38,39
