Walking the Narrow Road (ePub)

God's plan was to send Jesus, "the seed of the woman" promised in Genesis, to this earth in order to bruise the head of the Serpent. And at the fullness of time, Jesus Christ willingly gave up His unique position in heaven to come to earth to die for sinners too powerless to save ourselves. He took slaps, insults, spits and beatings and all indignities from sinners in order to accomplish this great salvation for us. He was nailed to the cross, died, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day. And before He gave up His last breath, He declared: "It is finished!" Those three words released all human beings who will accept His sacrifice of love, from bondage to Satan, forever.
The curtain in the temple at Jerusalem that separated the holy place from the holy of holies rent in two from top to bottom after His death. This symbolized how His death opened for us direct access to God, the Father. No longer do we need a High Priest to go into the holy of holies **to offer the blood of bulls and goats that can only cover sins for a year. Jesus' blood shed once and for all has obliterated our sins forever. He is now our Great High Priest in heaven where He offered His blood at God's mercy seat. The Father was pleased with His perfect work for us and accepted His sacrifice. No wonder John the Baptist introduced the Lord as: "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world."
If you have believed in Christ's work at Calvary and received Him into your life, confess Him with your mouth, tell people about how your sins are forgiven and who you have become in Christ. Faith in God and in the work of His Son for you is what determines your salvation.
