The Necessity of Christ (Easter message)

Jesus died on the cross to take our place, to take on the sin that we committed. Let’s face it - our sin put him there, we are the reason he was condemned to die. But that’s not where the story ended - he miraculously rose from the grave and he lives for us today.The introduction of Sin necessitated the coming of Christ.Everyone has sinned, and everyone falls short.Sin separates from God.To be justified means to be declared righteous.God made the free gift of salvation available to all people through the sacrifice of his son Jesus on the Cross. Christ died for each and every one of us while we were still in love with sin.So Christ died in your place, for sins you committed, before you have ever thought about not committing them.Christ chose to die for you, but he chose to live for you as well.
