All our sin is forgiven like this.. = ."Jesus is the ONE TIME .... Eternal ... Sacrifice for sin"..

How?

= """""God has made Jesus......to be SIN...for us all"""""..

Jesus is our sin bearer..

Now, Reader... lets say you wanted to teach a 9 yr old "justification by faith"... or "the righteousness of God in Christ".

So, that is "christianese"... its Bible Lingo... Its how the word of God, explains Salvation...
Its Theology.
And if you are a student of the bible and are use to all the Bible NT "language",, even found in so called "easy to read" versions... then that is good,,........... but most are just sort of "what does that mean".... when they try to read the NT,

"sounds confusing"..

So, Lets say you want to teach a group of 9 yr olds how to understand God's forgiveness.

Its very simple.

Tell them...>"its a swap".

See....They know that you can swap a marble for a cookie. Or a pencil for an eraser.
They know you can swap a baseball for a pack of baseball cards.
They understand what it means to make a SWAP..
"You give this, and you get that"..


So, the Cross of Christ, is where God Swaps eternal forgiveness for our life of sin.

Its actually a "GIFT of Salvation" but a 9 yr old needs to hear "swap", as they can understand it.

The Cross of Christ.... is where Jesus's blood and death is swapped for all our sin*, (*The GIFT of Salvation)>.. which causes us to become "made righteous" forever.

Its really that simple.

We ALL came to God as a lifetime sinner,,...... and Jesus on the Cross... took that lifetime of sin upon Himself ("God hath made Jesus to be sin for us all")..., and Jesus DIED for it all..... and God said...>"ok, thats the full payment for all your sin"...
Jesus paid the price for it ALL, with His Blood and Death, and He rose again from the dead.. to prove its TRUE.

God says..I have JUDGED MY SON to DEATH.... for All your SIN... all of it, and now you are "made righteous", forever.... as that is what you become when Jesus has all your sin.

Isn't that an amazing swap?
Any 9yr old will tell you that it is certainly some Amazing Grace...
