Reader,
1.) Christianity is so very simple.
"The simplicity that is in Christ'..
"Christianity is found In Christ"
"Jesus is Salvation".
So, all Christianity is, is to find Him.....as He is Christianity and we Join Him by "New birth"...born again = Spiritually.
"its by MY Spirit, sayeth the Lord".... (not by water, not by works).
Then there is the Gospel, and there is only one, and we are all called to share it with everyone who needs it, and that is everyone who isn't born again.
2.) Once you become a part of God, as "born again Spiritually" which God causes, ((only because We Trusted in Christ as that is HIS requirement,)) then He then removes our sin, it's cleansed by the Blood of Jesus that makes it GONE.... and then... now being made free from sin, God joins His Spirit with ours and our Spirit is born again, and this is to become a "new Creation"...
This is not hard to understand.... but it could be more clear.
Its not hard to understand that Jesus came to deal with our sin that is separating us from God, and once Jesus Deals with it ALL, God can then take us, and make us His own. And because "God is A Spirit", we become God's own by becoming born again Spiritually.
Its just so simple, this plan of Salvation.
3.) God is Holy, and we are not, and so, God has to deal with the issue that is defining us as SINNER., that is separating us from God.
That's 2 things.
One, we were sinners, and its the Law that defines us as Sinners, ..
So, Jesus lived under the law, and fulfilled it on our behalf, and when we go to the Cross, believing in Christ.... then God takes what Christ has accomplished, both by living a perfect life, and dying for our sin, and applies it to us...as our REDEMPTION.
The application of the righteousness of God, is "imputed righteousness"... its literally the Righteousness of Christ that becomes US, and Christ on the Cross becomes our SIN.
"God hath made... JESUS.....to be SIN,...for...US, so that we might become the Righteousness of GOD, in HIM"...
4.) This is the "Divine Exchange." or the "Great Exchange".., and its both Divine and Great.
Our Sin, our sinful life, becomes Christ's body and death, and His Righteousness and His Holy and pure LIFE, becomes ours and that is us becoming a "new Creation" IN CHRIST".... born again... Spiritually.
See, none of this is really difficult to understand, but trying to explain it, can become too CHRISTIANESE, too "bible nomenclature".. and that causes it to be heard as "what is all that".
What Paul's Gospel does, is bring it into ultra focus, by making it simple.
"Your a sinner, your sin is separating you from God, ... and Jesus died for your sin" "BELIEVE IT"... "All that believe in Jesus shall be saved".
See?
On basic sentence, vs..trying to "bible it"... or explain it, or theologize it.
5.) And here is an interesting verse that Paul wrote., regarding what ive just been doing for you reader..
I just ""preached the CROSS"" for you.. = Paul's Gospel
Notice.. 1 Corinthians 1:21
"""It pleased God, by the foolishness of PREACHING... to SAVE.... THOSE ... THAT Believe"""..
And what is that Preaching? = "The preaching of THE CROSS....is the Power of GOD...unto Salvation, for everyone who BELIEVES"..
How about that..
That is "The Gospel of the Grace of God' and its "Paul's Gospel" that Jesus personally Gave to Paul.
A.) Me , you, us, all.....we can simply tell an unbeliever about The Cross Of Christ, that is God's love for them.. that is Jesus dying for all their sin...., and God will show them why to BELIEVE IT.
