I want to add something lang, a symbolic view point.
We all are sinners. Am I right?
Romans 3:23 expounds on this "For All Have Sinned and fallen Short of the GLORY of GOD."
So it is written. But though we all are deserving of death for our sins, we are, nonetheless given the saturation of Faith that comes from the death and rising of Our Savior, Jesus Christ.
In Adam, we fell. Death consumed us. But through the incarnation of the Living Word, Christ Jesus, who was born of the Virgin Mary, and was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, was given unto the Cross to satiate the penalty of Death that was Ours.
For it is written: "The Penalty of Sin is DEATH."
We are reminded of this in
Romans 6:23:- For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Do you see, brothers and sisters?
You and I are deserving of Death. In fact, we are doomed to death--which will happen. As we all die, but the death that I am talking about is the soul. Because Christ offered HIMSELF on the Cross, he paid the price that was supposed to be for US. So we, being faithful christians and holding to God's Word, are washed. Cleansed. Saved!
We are purified through the Blood of Christ, and His Crucifixion on the Cross.
He died so that we might Live.
He rose on the third day, so that, we, too, might share the Glory that is our reward in Heaven.
By Grace we abound in Faith.
By Grace we are Saved.
Grace Saves. Grace is a Gift.
Not from Man, nor any animated or created thing.
But a Gift from the Eternal Living GOD.
That. Is powerful contemplation.
