This paragraph is directly quoted from Chip Ingram from the living on the Edge daily podcast. I thought that is was good, and I wanted to share it.
The story of the Bible put very simply is that this high Holy God created the world. There was a coo, and mankind rebelled against God that produced a chasm between God and man; the bible calls it sin, or missing the mark. God out of his great love before the foundations of the earth, new we would rebel, and the trinity had a conversation, and the Son said, I will go, and I will die in the place for all the people out of our love even though they don’t deserve it. The only way they will have relationship with a pure and Holy God, is by a perfect sacrifice. I will go and I will live upon the earth, I will live a perfect life, I will raise the dead, I will fulfill 700 prophecies so it’s objective, and they will know that I am in fact God. And then I will give up m life, and I will die upon the cross, so Father you can pour out your just wrath on me. Everything they deserve, I will take, and I will be there sin payment. And then so they know it’s true I will rise from the dead, but it won’t be in secret, I will walk upon the earth, for 40 days for over 500 witnesses in space time history, and I will commission them, and I will power them, and then those who come to believe, the instant they believe, the Spirit of God will come into their heart and into their life. They will be adopted into God’s family, they will be placed in the body of Christ, they will be sealed with the Spirit of God, they will be granted Spiritual gifts, and that Spirit dwelling in them will manifest the very presence, and power of Jesus. He will lead and guide them into all truth, to that that Spirit living in them, will illuminate their mind into what is true in his word, and they can pray and that Spirit will bare witness with their Spirit that they’re actually children of God with assurance and love and will give them direction and power, to live out a super natural life. That’s what Christianity is all about.
