We are reconciled to God by our belief in Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross
By Peter Kaye |
We are reconciled to God by our belief in Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross so when we die we go to heaven. Not by the good things we do.
You cannot earn God's forgiveness.
Chapter 19 Page 428
‘I think God is reminding us that it's the Cross that saves. What Jesus did for us. And that's what we must put our trust in. We may believe Jesus existed, that he was the Son of God, he's alive today, and that he loves us... That's all true and what many people think, including the devil. But it's not enough. What makes us followers of Christ is believing that he sacrificed his life for us. And by doing that, he paid for all our sins, so we're right with God. It's this belief that brings us close to God, which is where he wants all three of us now.’
