Jesus Lives

It is that time of year where we thank God for the coming of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life so He could be the spotless lamb needed to be sacrificed for our sins.
Our Lord God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for our sins. On the third Day He rose from the grave. His resurrection was the first of its kind. His body was transformed into a new body that is an example of the body all believers in Him will receive at His second coming at the end of the tribulation. The Bible tells us that He was resurrected this way before anyone else so that He would have preeminence in all things.
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:18
The Bible also tells us, in the Gospels, that the only signs of what He went through for our sins were the places where the nails were driven through Him and where the spear pierced Him.
His resurrection proves that His sacrifice for our sins was the acceptable payment for our sins. There is no other sacrifices needed or accepted by God the Father since that time. It also proves that He is who He said He is God.
God loves us and wants none of us to perish in Hell for our sins. He wants for all of us to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved from our sins. The Gospel is :
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached to you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Romans 10:9-10
That is all that is needed to be forgiven of our sins. I hope that any who read this will want to believe the God they know exists and repent of their sins.
