Steps of Faith for the Deaf

Hello,

“He saved others: himself he cannot save.” Matthew 27:42

“If he be the king of Israel, let him come down from the cross, and we will believe him.” Matthew 27:42

This is what people said— who saw Jesus on cross.

It was true—that Jesus could not save others and save himself, too.

He could save others—or—-he could save himself.

Jesus chose to save others.

Jesus chose to pay the death punishment that belonged to people who sinned.

The Bible says—”All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“All we—like sheep—have gone astray. We have turned —everyone to his own way. The Lord has laid on him—-the iniquity (sin) of us all.” Isaiah 53:6

Jesus could have saved himself.

Jesus could have decided to never be willing to be born as a human baby.

He could have stayed in heaven and never come to earth.

He did not have to do it. He did it only because he loved the people he made.

The people he made—sinned—and in doing sin—-the punishment was death was on them.

Either—the people paid their own death punishment—or—-Jesus paid it for them.

The offered “sacrifice” to God to pay the death punishment —had to be a perfect, clean, no sin, human.

The only —perfect, clean, no sin, human—-was Jesus.

That is why—only Jesus—and no other “god” —-can forgive you of your sins—and wash away your sins—and give you life in heaven.

No other person—has paid your death punishment for you.

Eternal life in heaven—depends on you believing that Jesus paid your death punishment by dying on the cross.

And—you must come to Him in prayer and ask for forgiveness of your sin.

The only thing it will cost—is for you to humble yourself—admit that you have sinned——and ask for forgiveness.

Jesus said—”…..him that cometh to me—-I will in nowise
cast out.” John 6:37 (no way) (cast out—throw out).

Come to Jesus today—ask for forgiveness.

Good-bye for now. I’ll write again.                 Sincerely, Joyce Webb
