Connecticut Slaughter - A Sign of the Times






















My dear friends, who can fully comprehend and make any sense of the HORRIFIC Newtown Connecticut elementary school massacre of 20 innocent school children and 6 adults that has taken place today. This story has absolutely gripped and moved our nation and my state beyond anything that I can imagine and remember. Columbine and Aurora were horrific in themselves but when a madman massacres young elementary school children, it is beyond anything we can think or imagine. As many I have been glued to the radio all day listening and seeking answers to who, what and why this horrendous event has taken place. This evil being so close to home as a resident of the small state of Connecticut is truly numbing and as a father of 4 children extremely heart broken and sympathetic to the families of these young dear precious children (and adults).

My dear friends, we as a nation have entered into a new type of day which is DOMINATED by moral relativism, secularism, evolutionary logic, violence, callousness, abortion, desensitization, victimization, instant satisfaction required and narcissistic passions which fill the godless immoral spectrum.

My dear friends, we as a nation have entered into a new type of day which is DOMINATED by moral relativism, secularism, evolutionary logic, violence, callousness, abortion, desensitization, victimization, instant satisfaction required and narcissistic passions which fill the godless immoral spectrum. This horrific evil act is just the tip of the iceberg here in secular, progressive Connecticut. Our leaders, media and inhabitants of this progressive and secular state are indeed desperately searching for answers to this horrific event absolutely oblivious to the climate they have created due to their personal war on moral and spiritual absolutes, Almighty God and the Bible (Rom. 1:18-32). What is most tragic is if presented with the answers they would not want to hear them.

Hear me my dear friends,  I am NOT being an opportunist in my evaluation of our day and using this beyond horrific act to "preach religion" as unbelievers would love to say... But on the contrary my dear friends, I am trying to communicate to you our readers, this state and our imploding nation reality and what is at the heart and root of our nation's horrific problems and to warn Americans with a genuine sincerity that our day here in America and in Connecticut is only going to get worse. I fully know that this is not a popular message but it has been put out there for those who have an ear to hear. We have planted and nurtured the seeds of lawlessness since the 60's and the evil violent harvest is ripe and plush for reaping as we have horrifically seen today (Gal. 6:7).

Decadence, lawlessness and moral relativism are now the dominant ideology of our land.
.
My dear friends it is not too hard to see for those who adhere to light and right (John 3:19-21, 8:32, 36), but our day has become so dark, so deviant, so lawless and yes relativistic that the average Joe or Sally is totally oblivious to Divine REALITY and moral absolutes. Today absolutes are so twisted out of proportion, words and morals are redefined to legitimize lawlessness. Good is called evil and evil good (Isa. 5:20)! Such were the days in which Isaiah the prophet spoke about and here we are today with the very same spirit at work in our nation.

My dear friends may I say it again with tears in my eyes, our day is ONLY going to get worse until we as a nation finally implode on ourselves. Decadence, lawlessness and moral relativism are now the dominant ideology of our land. We indeed as a nation have apostatized not just from Almighty God and His Word but from moral absolutes as well. The result of this apostasy is very evident today throughout our U.S. culture and society.

Do not let reprobate minds who are saturated with lawlessness deceive you into what is right and what is wrong. So subtle are their lies that many today are being deceived and allowing their emotions to do their “thinking for them.

May Almighty God’s Word give you the crucial light you need and keep your rooted and grounded as we as a nation and a world head strait into the Day of the Lord.

It is easy to deduce that the Liberal mind - void of Almighty God and moral absolutes is the exceedingly far greater evil and threat to our culture and society than any gun could ever be.

My dear friends the inmates are now running the asylum, Washington and the media. May You be sure that you have a saving relationship to the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, 16:29-31). May Almighty God’s Word give you the crucial light you need and keep you rooted and grounded as we as a nation and a world head strait into the Day of the Lord.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The American Leftist Media's Ideology

The ideology and philosophy of the American Leftist Media is based in the basest (lowest) form of thought and rationale. They use partial truths and follow their unbridled passions (lusts) and emotions (Psalm 14:1,3, Roms 1:18-32, Phil. 3:19, 2 Peter 2:12, Jude 1:10). They are narcissistic in their heart and subjective to the core. Their moral compass is all out-of-whack because of their complete and total rejection of absolutes (i.e., right and wrong). Since they also reject absolutes they hold themselves to no standard. They have no regard at all for morality, laws (natural/spiritual), personal accountability and responsibility (Gal. 5:19-12; 2 Peter 2:10, 18-19, Jude 10-13). In every way they are Machiavellian (i.e., believing that the end justifies the means), and just like their father the Devil (John 8:44). Because of their base condition, those on the Left are the most susceptible to Lucifer’s suggestions and will.
.
They (the Left) are narcissistic in their heart and subjective to the core. Their moral compass is all out-of-whack because of their complete and total rejection of natural law and absolutes.
,
This godless, base behavior is encouraged by the Father of Lies – Lucifer, or the Devil (John 8:44). His goal is to make humanity as base as possible in their thinking, and as callous (hardened) in their morality, so to despise what is right and wrong. His goal is to brainwash and dupe the masses into doing his bidding.

What is Truth?
,
It is imperative today that we see things from God’s point of view – from an "outside of the box" objective analysis - and with a biblical perspective. Only Almighty God and His Word can expose the current trends and ever moving agenda of Lucifer. Only Almighty God can reveal to fallen humanity the realities at hand (Matt. 16:17, John 3:3-12, 14:26, 16:13, Col. 2:15).


They (conservatives) also rejected this revelation and are subject to the god of this world’s dominion.

Sad, that multitudes on the Right today – including the leaders of the New Media - reject ALSO Almighty God's  revelation found only in Almighty God’s Word. These look at the Bible – Almighty God’s revelation to mankind - as relative and powerless. They have a form of godliness, but they deny the power of it (2 Tim 3:5). They are “religious” not real. They (conservatives) also rejected this revelation and are subject to the god of this world’s dominion (Gal. 1:4, Eph. 2:1-2). As they fight tooth and nail to "save" America, they are oblivious that they are being taken away in the current flood of the devastating consequences and fall out of today's political and exponential social changes. Conservatism is at the Alamo.
.
What the Conservatism and all other political ideologies need to do is to place their faith alone in Almighty God’s redemptive plan and program for this fallen world. He is the only hope.

May you place your trust and hope in Him alone!

My friend, are the many different talking heads of today's media confusing you? There is One that you can trust for the Truth and Reality coverage for your existence in time and ETERNITY future (Num. 23:19, Heb. 6:18, Rev. 1:5). He alone is Trustworthy. He alone is True. He alone is Faithful and Righteous (Rev. 1:5, 19:11).

May the hour in which we live in today drive you to the Savior of all mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ. May you place your trust and hope in Him alone. True hope and security are only found in Him. He will strengthen your heart and give you a sure foundation to stand on (Matt 7:24-27). You will never be the same… NEVER!

The First Four HORRIFIC Trumpet Judgments of the Day of the Lord

.
Following the Seal Judgments of the Lamb of God come Almighty God's "Trumpet Judgments" upon the earth’s inhabitants, its vegetation, its water (fresh and salt), and the celestial lights in the first and second heavens (Rev. 8:1-13).

As we shall see, the first four of the seven Trumpet Judgments shall strike the earth and its inhabitants with unparalleled EXPONENTIAL global cataclysmic destruction. Let us take a look!

The First Trumpet Judgment destroys 1/3 of all trees and grass upon the face of the earth with fire! (Rev.8:7). That comes to roughly 133 billion trees. 7% of all landmass is covered with grass. This area covers 9.93 million sq/km or 3.8 million sq/miles. This total area - which is given over to fire - is roughly a little bit bigger than the total landmass of the United States which would include Alaska. Can you even imagine the smoke which is generated from this global inferno?

The Second Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all the seas of planet earth to turn to blood (Rev. 8:8-9). The fall out of this catastrophic global devastation will also cause 1/3 of all the sea creatures to perish and 1/3 of all the world's ships and their crews to perish also! Some facts:

1. 70.8 % of the earth’s surface is covered by water. 68% of that 70.8% is saltwater. 1/3 of the seas or 22.6% of the world’s surface area or 122 million sq/km or 47.1 sq/miles will be decimated and turned into blood! That is roughly the size of the Pacific Ocean! (How horrific!!) Ocean info link
.
2. The number of sea creatures destroyed by this trumpet judgment will be too innumerable to number. From the smallest creatures to the giant whales it must be in the trillions.

3. The total number of merchant ships that populate the world is about 55,000. This figure includes bulk carriers, dry cargo vessels, MPP's, container vessels, tankers, LPG's, LNG's, and most cruise ships; this number however does not include private vessels. The world's total number of ships of war is estimated at 4500. 1/3 of this total number (59,500) comes to roughly 19,833 ships that will be destroyed in this great Second Trumpet judgment not counting countless thousands of sailor's lives that will also perish. Can you even envision such wondrous cataclysmic devastation that will ravish a sea mass almost the size of the Pacific Ocean?
.
The Third Trumpet Judgment will cause 1/3rd of all fresh water to be poisoned with wormwood and become bitter. The effects of this judgment will cripple society and multitudes will perish because of their ingestion of these bitter waters (Rev. 8:11). In this period - due to the horrific consequences of the Seal and Trumpet Judgments - drinking water will be very scarce to come by.

3% of the entire world’s water is freshwater. 1/3 of this water supply (33% of the 3%) will be poisoned killing multitudes of the world’s inhabitants during this period.

The Fourth Trumpet Judgment will cause the celestial lights (sun, moon, and stars) to dim their light 1/3rd of their normal strength (Rev. 8:12)!

Up to this point, try to comprehend - if at all possible - the unimaginable and exponential ravishing effects upon the face of the earth by these Seven Seal Judgments and the first four Trumpet Judgments. Remember, that these judgments were ordered upon the inhabitants of the earth and their planet because of their exponential godless rebellion and violence against the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God (Gen. 1:31, Isa. 24:5-6, Rom. 1:18-32). These horrific global catastrophes - including the unimaginable devastation incurred by the Four Horsemen and the wrath of man - in which 1/4th of the world’s population was slain - will bring to the forefront the unbridled passions and uncontrollable violence of humanity's godless and evil fallen heart (Ps. 7:9, Jer. 17:9-10, Matt. 15:17-20, Jude 1:10). Nothing manifests the human heart as tribulation does and reveals to all, our utter godless depravity without the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Jer. 17:10, Matt 15:18-19, Gal. 5:19-21, Rev. 9:20-21).

Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS judgment which will come on the whole earth will be RIGHTEOUS and JUST (Psalm 9:8, 96:13, Rev. 16:5). Either it will lead us to repentance and ETERNAL deliverance (Luke 18:13, John 3:36, Rom.2:4, 2 Cor. 7:10, Rev. 22:1-5) OR it will harden us to war against our Creator and damn us FOREVER in Almighty God's ETERNAL prison called the Lake of Fire  - (Matt. 25:41, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 20:11-15). Which choice have you made? My dear friend, if you have not chosen the ETERNAL love of Almighty God - which is found in His dear Son  - do so even today (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:9). Do NOT be a fool with your godless pride. Humble yourself and receive Almighty God's gift of redemption and pardon. You will NEVER EVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Jamie Foxx’s Spirit of Anti Christ - A Biblical Perspective



My friend’s we thought that we would just provide a biblical perspective and comment on the Jamie Foxx comments at the Soul Train awards; but in all honesty the hyper narcissistic godless Hollywood industry will just about say and do anything for money and self-praise. It should never surprise anyone what garbage comes out of their mouths for with their tongues they proclaim to all just who and what they are (Rom. 1:18-32; 3). I always enjoy the feigned and “hypocritical” actions of Hollywood’s deep concern for the world, national issues and societal crisis (Eccl. 7:6,Jude 1:15-19). They are always “acting” as if they really care about the poor, the world and this nation while they live in their elitist delusional world living life high on the hog sowing their godless oats (Jude 1:15-19). Through their moral relativistic prism and godless rebellion they honestly believe that they are role models for the youth of today and champions for the addicted to government handouts (red, yellow, black and white) – Rom. 1:32, Jude 1:15-19. It should never be of any surprise that when a camera is in front of these Hollywood types that these (John 4:24, 15:18, 2 Tim. 3:1-7, 2 Peter 3:1-5).
.
In Jamie Foxx’s case, he ought to thank Almighty God that he did not choose to slander the moon god of Islam and its prophet, for if he did he might have had to go under ground in fear for his vain life (existence).
.
In Jamie Foxx’s case, he ought to thank Almighty God that he did not choose to slander the moon god of Islam and its prophet, for if he did he might have had to go under ground in fear for his vain life (existence). Just the thought that Jamie - in the context of what he stated – showed absolutely no REVERENCE and FEAR in taking the opportunity to associate a “man” (BHO) with the Title of the ETERNAL King of kings ought to send horrific shivers up one’s spine and cause them to soil their under garments in great fear (Rev. 6:15-16)! Jamie choose the opportunity to exalt a man (BHO) above the MAN (Matt. 28:18, Acts 4:12, Eph.1:20-21, Phil. 2:9, Heb. 1:1-3, Rev. 5:11-14, 19:16); and not just a man (BHO)… but a man who is absolutely hell bent in uprooting ALL that has any resemblance to our nation’s Judeo/Christian past that is biblical, absolute, godly, sound and moral from his youth (Rom. 1:18-32; 3; 2 Tim. 3:1-7, Jude 1:10).

Our day here in “post Judeo/Christian America” is a day dominated by the spirit of anti Christ which John spoke about nearly 2000 years ago.

Maybe some reading this post might say, “Aren’t you making a little too much of this “Jamie Foxx” thing? Well my friends, this is “our” moral relativistic day of delusion in which we are living in and someone should point out the ETERNAL folly and godless irreverence from Almighty God’s ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS position (Rom. 1:18-32, Jude1:15-19). I my dear friends am just the messenger and not a “self righteous Christian” (Rom. 3:23, 7:24-25, Rev. 1:5). If you have a problem with this biblical perspective on this matter, do not take it up with me (John 1:12, Rom.7:24-25), but take it up with your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator; for it is He that we will ALL give an account to (Matt. 7:21-23, John 3:16-17, 36).

Our day here in “post Judeo/Christian America” is a day dominated by the spirit of anti Christ which John spoke about nearly 2000 years ago (1 John 2:18-22, 4:1-3). It was alive and well in John’s day after the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of the Savior and Christ of the world and it is near fully mature in these Last Days.

Little does Jamie and the elite godless, immoral, moral relativists of Hollywood comprehend that the very slander and making light of the LORD Jesus Christ and SAVIOR’S NAME displays their godless rebellion against Him as they live their godless vain existence unto the Day of Judgment (John 3:3:16-17,36, Rev. 6:13-17, 20:11-15).

Of course it is our absolute sincere desire that Jamie Foxx and ALL would turn from their narcissistic godless lives (conservative or liberal), transgressions and godless rebellion to the LORD and Savior for ETERNAL redemption (Acts 4:12, 16:29-31, Rom.10:2-4). When we say it is our sincere desire that these would TURN to the LORD and SAVIOR we do not mean Barack H. Obama who to many is their little finite savior for their brief vain existence here on planet earth (Psalm 144:4, Eccl.1:1-3, Isa. 2:22, James 4:14).


Let their lives and attitudes be a lesson to all to NEVER turn one’s back on the LOVE, GRACE, MERCY, GOODNESS and LONG SUFFERING of Almighty God, for in doing so one hates and despises their very own soul and manifest their satanic rebellion.

For those of us who have fully placed our trust in the ETERNAL Person and Work of the LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ we see the absolute folly in such irreverence towards Almighty God; for if Jamie and others had truly comprehended the absolute idiocy and full magnitude of their remarks they would have never stated them. No one in their right mind ever would!

As scoffers of the past have come and gone and are now awaiting the ETERNAL Judgment for their unrighteous acts and words against the ETERNAL spiritual absolutes of Almighty God (Rom. 2:4,9:17-23, Jude 1:1-25), let their lives and attitudes be a lesson to all to NEVER turn one’s back on the LOVE, GRACE, MERCY, GOODNESS and LONG SUFFERING of Almighty God (John 3:16-17, Rom. 2:4). For in doing so one hates and despises their very own soul and manifest their satanic rebellion (Matt. 25:41, Rom.1:18-32, 2:4, Rev.20:10-15).

While there is still breath in Jamie Foxx’s nostrils may Jamie wake up from his godless demonic spell and self induced delusion to the REALITY that it is this Very One who he has replaced with Barack H. Obama Who died in his place and has provided for him all the remedies he needs to dwell at peace ETERNALLY with Almighty God (John 3:16-17,36, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 1:30-31, 1 2;2, John 4:10).

May it be so!

Is Capital Punishment Biblical?















CAPITAL PUNISHMENT - What Does the Bible Teach on this Vital Subject?

Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. (Genesis 9:6)

1. Instituted by God Himself
Capital punishment was instituted by God Himself after the worldwide flood. We learn of this in Genesis 9:6--"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." This verse speaks of a murderer, one who knowingly and violently sheds another man's blood, resulting in death. God here gives man the authority and the right and the duty to put to death the murderer: "by man shall his blood be shed." The reason given for this is based upon the value and sacredness of human life: "for in the image of God made he man." In this case we have justice being carried out according to the rule: "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth" (Exodus 21:23-24). The penalty should fit the crime. In this case the crime is murder and the penalty is death. Notice that Genesis 9:6 was given to man even before the law of Moses was given.

2. "Thou Shalt Not Kill"?
Capital punishment is not a violation of the sixth commandment which says, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13). The proper translation of this verb is "Thou shalt not murder." See modern translations (such as the NASB, the NIV and the NKJV) and also see Matthew 19:18 in the KJV. All murder is killing but not all killing is murder. Some examples of killing that would not be considered as murder are as follows: a) killing the enemy in war (Bible examples: David killing Goliath, Joshua and the Israelites when they conquered the land); b) a husband, discovering a man about to kill his wife and/or children, protects and defends his family by having to kill the attacker; c) a policeman who kills in the line of duty in order to protect innocent life; d) the person carrying out capital punishment, such as the man who must pull the switch for the electric chair; e) accidental killing, when the killer never intended to take someone's life. We should also note that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will "judge and make war" at His second coming resulting in countless numbers of deaths (Rev. 19:11-20).

3. Crimes Punishable By Death
We are assured that capital punishment is not a violation of the Ten Commandments. This is evident when one studies the chapter which immediately follows the ten commandments: Exodus chapter 21 (the Ten Commandments are found in chapter 20). In chapter 21 we learn that God in His law demanded the death penalty for a number of crimes such as murder, kidnapping, cursing parents, etc. See Exodus 21:12,15,16,17. See also Leviticus 20:10-17 for other crimes punishable by death in the law of Moses.

4. The Executioner As God's Servant
In New Testament times capital punishment was still being practiced. Romans 13:4 says that God has given human governments the authority to execute wrath upon evildoers by means of a sword (a common instrument of capital punishment in New Testament days). The Apostle Paul was living in a day when capital punishment was commonly practiced in the Roman empire (quite unlike our day), and yet he did not condemn this practice. On the contrary he described the person who bears the sword as being God's servant. Thus the one punishing the evildoer does so in the exercise of God's delegated authority.

5. An Effective Deterrent
Capital punishment, when consistently practiced, is a very effective deterrent to crime because the fear of death is the greatest fear that man has (see Hebrews 2:14-15). Since death is the king of fears, a man will think twice about committing a crime if he knows it will cost him his life. He will be less reluctant to murder someone if he knows that the worst that could happen to him is to stay in jail the rest of his life with meals provided, television to watch, etc. When swift justice is carried out then "those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil" (Deut.19:20). When the right penalty is not executed speedily, then this is an encouragement to crime (see Eccles. 8:11).

6. Cruel and Inhumane?
Is capital punishment cruel and inhumane? Death is usually not pleasant to witness, and certainly those responsible for putting a criminal to death do not have an enviable task. Nevertheless we need to be careful that we do not focus on the criminal and forget about the victim of the crime. Cold-blooded murder is very cruel and inhumane. Forcible rape is very cruel and inhumane. Hijacking an airplane and endangering the lives of many innocent people is very cruel and inhumane. Pushing life-destroying drugs is very cruel and inhumane. In our zeal to protect the criminal we can lose sight of the terribleness of the crime. Regardless of a person's position on capital punishment, all would have to agree that if a murderer is put to death, he will never murder again. It is remarkable that those people who decry capital punishment as being a cruel and inhumane method of destroying people's lives are often the same people who are strongly in favor of abortion rights. Why does a guilty murderer have a greater right to life than an unborn child?

7. Paul's Own Testimony
What did the Apostle Paul think of capital punishment? Did he consider it to be unfair and cruel and inhumane? We have already considered Paul's teaching in Romans 13, but we should also make note of what the Apostle said in Acts 25:11: "If I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die." Paul knew that there were certain crimes that were worthy of death, and he knew that those guilty of such crimes must be executed. If he was guilty of such, then he would not refuse to die. He would submit to capital punishment if he had done deeds worthy of such. Of course, Paul was innocent of any such crimes, and yet he was eventually executed under Nero. For what crime? For preaching the gospel of the grace of God!

8. Bright Barbarians
Even uncultured men know deep down in their hearts that certain crimes demand the death penalty. This is illustrated in Acts 28 when Paul was shipwrecked upon the island of Melita (Malta) where he met a group of kindly barbarians (v.1-2). As Paul was gathering sticks for the fire, a deadly venomous snake bit him on the hand. Normally such a bite would be fatal in a matter of minutes. When the natives saw this they said, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet justice alloweth not to live" (v.4). These natives saw what they thought was the penalty (death) and thus they assumed the crime (he must be a murderer). They soon learned that they were mistaken, but the point is that these barbarians had a built in sense of justice and they knew that murderers should pay for their crime by death.
,
9. The Testimony of a Thief (Robber)
In Luke chapter 23 we have the honest testimony of a man who was being put to death for crimes he had done. This was capital punishment by means of Roman crucifixion. This man was an evildoer, he was arrested, and he was found guilty of crimes worthy of death. Modern methods of execution are generally very mild and painless as compared to Roman crucifixion. What did this man think of capital punishment? Was he opposed to it? Did he consider it to be cruel and inhumane? Did he think it to be unfair and unjust? Here is his testimony (his words to the other condemned criminal): "Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds" (Luke 23:40-41). In other words, he was saying, "We are getting exactly what we deserve: death by crucifixion. What we have done is worthy of death!" Before men and before human government most of us are not guilty of crimes worthy of death. However, before a Holy God every one of us needs to recognize that we have done certain things that are worthy of death (see Romans 1:29-32; 6:23a). As the Old Testament says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4). How thankful we should be that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered the death penalty for us: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8).

10. The Death of an Innocent Man
If capital punishment is practiced, are there not times when an innocent man is pronounced guilty and put to death? Yes, sadly this is true. Our judicial system is far from perfect and there are times when the guilty are justified and the innocent are condemned (compare Deut. 25:1). Even without the death penalty, it is true that occasionally some innocent men are sent to prison even for life. We must remember that there is in heaven a true and righteous Judge who sees all and who knows all and who someday will make right all that is wrong and will straighten out all that is crooked. In eternity, all will be corrected (see Luke 16:25 for an example of this). The greatest example of an innocent man being put to death is that of the Lord Jesus Himself, "who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth" (1 Pet. 2:22). The only sinless Man who ever lived was condemned to death by crucifixion! As we think about Christ's death, we must remember that it was for our sins that He suffered and bled and died (1 Cor. 15:3; Rom. 5:8). "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just (the Righteous One) for the unjust (the unrighteous ones), that he might bring us to God" (1 Pet. 3:18). We are the guilty ones who deserved the death penalty (Rom. 6:23), but Jesus paid it all! He died so that we might live (John 5:24)!
