Gospel Clarity

We are all sinners who committed Crimes against God. God said after death is only judgment. We cannot get out of judgment or punishment. Once His verdict is rendered on you...it's eternal. It's permanent. 

Because all humans are born sinners because of Adams sin, thus all are damned. 

However God, by his Grace [grace means underserved unmerited], God determined to redeem and restore fallen man to have the righteous nature and be given the gift of eternal life. That means eternity in Heaven.

Explain that God is a trinity. Three persons of the same essence and nature being perfect. The Father the Word and the Spirit. For the purpose of salvation, God before the world began, determined to save humans who obey the Gospel. So in Genesis he points to the wages of sin is death, a human sinned and only someone perfect can pay the debt or the sinner is condemned. So we see the animal sacrifice substitute until the one comes who will save people from their sins. The blood of the substitute was shed, and they were covered by that substitute as seen in them wearing the bloody animal as clothing. The OT continues to show this with the sacrifice with Cain and Abel and further into the OT we see the Passover in Exodus and in Israel the instituting of the animal sacrifices. This was a temporary covering God provided until the promised Messiah of Genesis Eden would come. 

God in sacrifice purposes decided their role in the redemption of man. The Father would send the representative of the Godhead to earth to take on human flesh and be born of a woman, live a perfect life in obedience to the Law and as human in submission to the Father. The Word came and was called Jesus (his name means God is with us; actually here with us). He completed that work, show weld Israel that He was God. Fully God and fully Human. He went to the cross where he took on the sins of believers (past present and future); God 's eternal wrath was poured on him on the cross and as the actual substitute for us, his blood was shed and he died. Then since he is God, was perfect and sinless, the grave couldn't hold him, so he resurrected himself after 3 days (to prove he really was dead), and showed by that also he really is God. His assension also proves this, having stayed on earth 40 more days with the Apostles. 

So while we were sinners, God made the way for us to be saved. It's a legal transaction that happened. In God's court We broke the Law and Jesus paid the fine. But the fine is only applied to and closes the case and frees the person who obeys the Gospel; we are to repent and believevin Jesus who the Bible says he is and trust that his sacrifice indeed made us right with God. If we do that (repent, believe/trust), God closes our caee, we go free... but that means God has now made us born again. He has given us spiritual life, has given us the covering of the righteousness of Christ [having traded places with us- to redeem us from the curse and judgment the law of sin & death required], this means God transforms us into a new creation. We now have a righteous nature. We live God and live righteousness and hate sin. We are not perfect, but God is through sanctification perfecting us to conform us to the likeness of His Son Jesus [Son meaning title given to the one sent forth from Heaven to do the Father's work with full authority]. 

So our sin nature died and our righteous nature as well as the Indwelling holy Spirit gave us new life. So... we wouldn't plot and plan to do sinful things, like the unsaved do, but being stuck in this body stained by sin we drag it around until we shed it at death and recieve the sin free eternal body promised. So we still sin sometimes but are conquering sin and defeating it and having victory over it.

So to the Q of a sinners good works. God has told us in Scripture that He planned good works for the redeemed in Christ to do in this life. These are done after someone is saved, and it is actually God doing those things in and through us believers. 

But for anyone not saved by Jesus, meaning unsaved/sinners they have no good works nor do any good works.

The truth is a sinners so called good works are actually evil works. Your only doing something to selfishly try to gain from doing it. To do something to try to benefit for yourself. It's self righteous. It has ulterior motives. It is not out of right motives. 

The deception of religion and idolatry says it's okay to sin because it claims & makes you think your good would outweigh your bad. That's a lie from Satan. God has been very clear... 

Isaiah 64:6 "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."   

Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment,"

Scripture reveals any sinful persons attempt to corrupt God the Just Judge with filthy offers of supposed good works (which is really like offering poop to God to try to bribe him to get into Heaven). It is very offensive to God. He only made one way and that's thru the works of Jesus. 

It goes on to continually say that all who sin will be sent to the eternal lake of fire [Hell]. It's a permanent place you never get out of. The offer of salvation in Jesus was offered while you were alive. After death it's too late. This is why Satan wants to dupe people in all works based religions in the world to have them thinking there's hope after death. There is none. None at all. Satan hates humans and wants to drag them all to eternal Hell with himself.  

Don't be decieved any longer. Obey the Gospel, be made right with God, and live a new life. And go to Heaven to be with Jesus forever. 

See this vid clip which explains the Gospel. Get right with God today. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. 170k people die every day. 

So now you can see why the Gospel is indeed good news to those who believe 😀. And why you need to obey it today. It has current & eternal benefits. 

Through Jesus we don't get what we deserve [Eternal Hell & God's wrath] but instead get what we don't deserve [Salvation; Forgiveness, Grace & eternal life]. 

Turn to Him today.
