Today, 30Mar2018, is Good Friday for me. By the time this posts and the location of the server, it will more than likely be Saturday.
On Good Friday, Jesus Christ was crucified after an illegal trial. Did Christ have to die?
The answer is yes and no. If Christ does not die, then I am 100% responsible for my sins and I am under the law and there is no way to reach Heaven. However, by Christ dying, He took on my sins. This gives me a chance at salvation. Christ’s death does not guarantee that I am saved, but rather I have the option to be saved and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior or live according to the flesh and Satan and continue to sin and die.
So when Christ died on the Christ it was literally Life and Death. He died so that I may live eternally in Heaven. I just need to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior, that He is the Son of God, and that on the third day He was risen and now sits at the right hand of God. We are also to obey Christ’s commands as part of our salvation, but honestly if you start with those three then everything else should fall into place.
You are not guaranteed a spot in Heaven so do not think that once you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, that He is the Son of God, and that on the third day He was risen from the dead that you are done. That is just the beginning and the path gets harder.
So what will you chose, Life or Death? I personally want to choose life, but hey that is just me. I pray that you also chose life, but that is entirely up to you.
