TRANSCRIPT
Jesus died for your sins. The
Bible says we've all blown it.
We've all made mistakes.
None of us is perfect.
We have all sinned.
The Bible says that justice
demands punishment. If you
do the crime, you pay the
time. If you break the law,
you pay the fine.
If you get caught speeding,
you get a ticket. If you break
God's laws, you pay God's
penalty and, according to the
Bible,
"The wages [for our] sin is
death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life through Christ
Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23 – New Living
Translation).
In other words, somebody
has to pay for all the things
you've done wrong in life:
either you pay or somebody
else pays for you.
Jesus Christ was sent to
earth to sacrifice his life on
the cross and he says, in
effect,
"I will pay for your sins.“
(Rick Warren)
He died like an unblemished,
sacrificial lamb. And this was no
afterthought. Even though it has
only lately—at the end of the
ages—become public
knowledge,
It’s because of this sacrificed
Messiah, whom God then raised
from the dead and glorified, that
you trust God, that you know you
have a future in God.
(1 Peter 1:19-21 – The
Message)
This was God’s plan for all of
history which he carried out
through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Ephesians 3:11 – God’s Word Translation)
But this was God’s plan which
he had made long ago; he knew
all this would happen. (Acts 2:23 – New Century Version)
He thought of everything,
provided for everything we could
possibly need, letting us in on
the plans he took such delight in
making. He set it all out before
us in Christ,
a long-range plan in which
everything would be brought
together and summed up in him,
everything in deepest heaven,
everything on planet earth. (Ephesians 1:9-10 – The Message)
You know you were not bought
and made free from sin by
paying gold or silver, which
comes to an end.
And you know you were not
saved from the punishment
of sin by the way of life that
you were given from your
early fathers.
This blood is of great worth and
no amount of money can buy it.
Christ was given as a lamb
without sin and without spot. (1 Peter 1:18-19- New Life Version)
He is so rich in kindness and
grace that he purchased our
freedom with the blood of his
Son and forgave our sins. (Ephesians 1:7 – New Living Translation)
Not one of them, though rich
as kings, can ransom his own
brother from the penalty of sin!
For God’s forgiveness does not
come that way.
There is not enough of it in all
the earth to buy eternal life
for just one soul, to keep it
out of hell.
(Psalm 49:7-9 – Living Bible)
But think about this: while we
were wasting our lives in sin,
God revealed His powerful love
to us in a tangible display—
Immense in mercy and with an
incredible love, God embraced
us. He took our sin-dead lives
and made us alive in Christ. He
did all this on his own, with no
help from us!
Then he picked us up and set us
down in highest heaven in
company with Jesus, our
Messiah . . . Saving is all his
idea, and all his work.
All we do is trust him enough
to let him do it. It’s God’s gift
from start to finish!
(Ephesians 2:6,8 – The
Message)
The greatest love a person can
show is to die for his friends. You
are my friends . . . You did not
choose me; I chose you. (John
15:13-14, 16 – New Century Version)
For God loved the world so
much that he gave his only Son,
so that every one who believes
in him shall not be lost, but
should have eternal life. (John 3:16 – Phillips Paraphrase New Testament)
Christ also suffered. He died
once for the sins of all us guilty
sinners although he himself was
innocent of any sin at any time,
