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.
