“Yes” and “No”!
How does that work? Surely one or the other, or the most popular choice, “No God”!
Well, it depends on whether we try to get forgiveness for our wrongs from the ‘system’ God himself has put in place, or the way we think it is, or should be.
Pretty much everyone today admitted they had done something wrong.
The difference came with what God’s ‘system’ was for forgiving. The Bible says that God the Father had God the Son come to earth, and as a perfect human, as well as being God, be punished for our wrongs in our place. The ultimate substitute completely!
If one accepts that with all one’s heart and soul, then forgiveness is yours. We do need to change to live according to God’s principles, otherwise we would be big hypocrites!
If we don’t like God’s ‘system’, but just try to be good, then no forgiveness.
The verse with it was:
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness…”
1 Peter 2:24 (NIV) (http://www.laridian.com)
Great news, if we go with it!
