TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

One of the most moving truths in all of scripture is that Jesus, who was completely without sin, took on the weight of our guilt so that we could be made right with God, and this act of love should be enough to bring any of us to make peace with our Creator. As 2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us, God made Christ, who had no wrongdoing in him at all, to become a sin offering on our behalf, so that those who believe in him could receive the righteousness of God.

When every other argument or reason falls short of convincing us to turn to God, this one truth stands firm. The Father willingly gave his only Son to suffer and die on the cross so that we could be brought back into a right relationship with him. The great purpose behind this act was not simply forgiveness, but transformation. Believers are not just pardoned; they are clothed in the righteousness of God himself, and that is a gift beyond anything we could ever earn.

and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds you were healed.

1 Peter 2:24
