We’re downright rotten sinners who couldn’t get right. We tried to follow God’s commands and failed. We willingly turned against God and did whatever we felt like doing. We were hopeless and deserved to be punished for our sin. But, God loved us so passionately and wanted to have a relationship with us broken people so badly, that He sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins.
The very same willful, woeful, and wrong things we did against Him in the first place were actually placed on the Savior so they could be broken off of us. For those of us who accept this wonderful gift of salvation, we’re now called the forgiven and free, friends of God. (See Colossians 2:13-14, Psalms 103:12, Roman’s 5:11, 2 Corinthians 5:21).
This is the GOOD NEWS that people need to hear about.
