We are powerless and totally inadequate in regards to atoning for our sins. The redemption work of our Lord, and Savior, Jesus the Christ is the only means of atonement being made on our behalf. For the WORD says we all fall short, the wages of sin is death, and all our righteousness is like filthy rags. Jesus accomplished at the cross what we as mortals cant and never will be able to do. Jesus broke the power of death and showed humanity the way to immortality (2 Timothy 1:10).
We can be set free from the bondage of sin and the sentencing of eternal separation from God and everlasting torment but we have to accept the gift (John 3:16) that God is trying to give us. Reject and be sentenced to death---accept, be pardoned, and live. (Romans 6:23)
We have to confess with our mouths that we are sinners, and believe in our hearts that Jesus died in our place so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life. Knowing that you have done so, when someone asks you where will you spend eternity you can say with the utmost confidence that it will be with the one who died so that you could have new life....JESUS...(Romans 10:9-10)
