Jesus died not only to redeem us from sin but also to transform us into people who are eager to do good works that glorify God (Titus 2:14). While salvation is a free gift of grace and not earned by works (Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9), God delights in our good deeds when they serve others and meet real needs (Titus 3:14, Hebrews 13:16). Through Christ, we are empowered to live passionately for God’s glory, letting our actions shine as a testimony of His goodness (Matthew 5:16, 1 Corinthians 10:31).

Jesus died to reconcile us to God, restoring the relationship that sin had broken. Our sins separated us from Him, making us His enemies (Isaiah 59:2, Romans 8:7-8). Yet, while we were still lost, God removed His judgment by sending Jesus to suffer in our place (Isaiah 53:5-6). Through His death, we are no longer under God’s wrath but are made right with Him, and through His life, we are assured of our future salvation and eternal glory (Romans 5:9-10).

Jesus gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the deception of this present evil age. Satan blinds people to the gospel, using the world’s lies and temptations to keep them in sin (2 Corinthians 4:3-4). But Jesus’ death was His victory over Satan, breaking his hold and freeing us from sin and the fear of death (John 12:31-32, Hebrews 2:14-15). As believers, we must reject the world’s false wisdom and follow Christ, whose cross brings true freedom and salvation to all who believe (1 Corinthians 3:18-19, 1 Corinthians 1:23-24).

God created us with a sense of eternity, but sin brought death and separation from Him. Without repentance, we face eternal punishment and separation from God’s presence.

In His love, God sent His Son, Jesus, to save us. As John 3:16 declares, whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life—a life of knowing and enjoying God forever. Through Christ’s sacrifice, the gift of eternal life is offered to all who trust in Him.

Sin brought suffering and death to humanity and all creation, turning God’s once “very good” world into one burdened by pain and decay. Through Adam’s disobedience, the curse of sin spread to all.

Isaiah 53:5 reveals the healing found in Christ’s death. Jesus was pierced and crushed for our sins, and by His suffering, He defeated the curse, bringing hope and restoration.

One day, all creation will be free from sin’s curse. Death will be swallowed up, and in the new heaven and earth, there will be no more curse—only the joy of serving God forever.

God’s willingness to sacrifice His own Son is the ultimate proof that He will provide for His people. Since He has already given Jesus for us, we can trust that He will also supply everything necessary for our spiritual growth and perseverance.

Through His providence, God shapes us to be more like Christ, ensuring that all things work for our good. His Word convicts and refines us, offering both correction and grace through Jesus, our High Priest. And His love is unbreakable—no trial, hardship, or power can separate us from the love of God in Christ.
