The Gospel - Read THIS!

Let me explain Salvation to you using my own name:   R E A D — T H I S 

“On the cross, God treated Jesus as if He had lived my (andy’s) life, so that He could treat me as if i (andy) lived the life of Jesus”. 

-

Why? -

2 Corinthians 5:21: “God made Jesus - who had no sin - to be the sins of andy, so that in (IN) Jesus, then andy becomes the righteousness of God.”

Romans 3:23:  “andy has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”.  Yes, this is true! 

 - 

But……….

On that filthy bloody Cross, there God the Father - put ontoinnocent Jesus, my (andy’s) sins. This means Jesus, who is innocent, was treated as if He had lived my (andys) life—bearing the full weight of punishment (God’s anger) against andy for his (andy’s) own sin and put that punishment anger onto Jesus as He died on the Cross. 

-

Note:  It was not anger towards Jesus before He died on the Cross or after He rose from the Cross. Only as He (Jesus) suffered punishment and died for me On that Cross. 

That’s why Jesus called out from the Cross or “Dad, where are you, I’m hurting” – (Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani.   -  that is to say, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”)

God is happy and treats andy as a spotless Lamb; because my filthy sins and pride is taken off me and put onto Jesus to suffer for - as God then allowed Jesus to be beaten, punched, spit on, tortured and murdered, as He (God the Father) poured out my deserved punishment, not onto me (andy) but instead God put it onto Jesus. Onto Him - for me. ——

He (Jesus) paid my price. It is as if Jesus was me (andy) and Jesus is now the worst sinner on earth, and I (andy) am seen - as righteous – why? It is because Jesus swapped places with me. A holy trade that required me to have faith, repent and give Jesus my life. I pray in faith for Gods Grace and with that I give to Him my life and sins, and in return Christ gives me forgiveness and salvation by His Grace - and He gives me His Righteousness — all while He takes upon Himself, my sins.  M E R C Y

 So now, when God looks at me (andy), He treats me (andy) —“as if” —  i lived Jesus’  flawless perfect innocent life - and i (andy) am seen by God as 100% obedient, and holy.. >> (even though I’m a sinner who messes up every day!) <<

-

What does this mean? 

This means eternal 

life, forgiveness, and adoption for andy - into God’s perfect Holy family—not because andy earned it, but instead only because God gave it to me - as Jesus swapped places with me (andy). 

That’s called GRACE which is“undeserved favor”. I

I didn’t and can’t earn Gods forgiveness. It’s a free gift (Grace) that is offered to all people. But, but, but – you have to accept it! And the proof is in your heart and life – got it? 

And this is what it means for and hopefully for you…  (I hope that your name goes into this… and is where I out “andy” and your name will be written as per Revelation 20:12 (you should read that!) 

“Andy has been crucified with 

Christ and you gotta know this, he (andy) NO longerlives (even on earth), because Christ lives in (IN) him. Galatians 2:20 (Andy’s personal heart version)
