Shelves of books have been written about "faith."
But what is Christian faith? It is faith in Jesus Christ and it is the faith of Jesus (He lived on earth by faith!). (a) He Himself appreciated what His death on the cross meant. (b) It was far more than going to sleep for a weekend. (c) It was far more than going to sleep for eternity: (d) It was pure hell forever; it was enduring the wrath of a holy God against sin because sin poisons human life and is death itself. (e) The Son of God, holy and eternal, entered into the horror of hell itself, motivated only by love for us. (f) He knew that if He did not endure this hell for us, we would have to endure it ourselves. (g) He did endure it, for He was "made to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (h) Our Savior from hell must endure hell for us. (i)) But how could Christ in one brief week-end, no matter how intense the suffering was, endure the never-ending horror of hell? (j) Calvary was only the public exhibition of the never-ending, eternal cross of Christ. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deaf-Blind Inspirational Life Group" group.
