It simply is this. We are all sinners and have broken God’s laws and as a result the wrath of God abides on us. God must punish sin because he is holy and he SHOULD punish us all and throw us ALL into the lake of fire but Christ showed his love to us by taking the punishment on the cross that should have been ours, and dying on the cross provided a way out for us so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and be made righteous. Simply said, we broke the law, but Jesus paid the fine. Unless a person repents and puts their trust in Christ ALONE, they will incur God’s punishment and his wrath.

Renewing Your Mind
I have been reading many of the posts on your site and have found most of them to be very true….however, I was disappointed to come across the post here about Christmas. Christmas is a false/pagan religion, originally the festival that was used to honor Saturnalia…..there is so much information on this….it’s origins come from Babylon and Christ Mass actually has nothing at all to do with the true Christ, our Savior, of the Holy Bible. I would challenge you to please research more about Christmas and Easter (Ishtar, Oster, Ashtoreth) and perhaps share what you learn on here in the future, as I believe your heart is truly seeking the Lord and truth.
God bless you.

Jayne,
that you mean well I do not doubt, yet I feel you miss the point.
The word Jerusalem comes from ancient Egypt, and ’salem’ has nothing to do with ’shalom’, but God in His infinite humour allowed this to be, because it was on a hill outside ’salem’ that he re-introduced the ’shalom’ we gave away long before ancient Egypt existed.
That days have names in all religions does not make the day any less a marvel created by God. If we focussed on sharing the good news and had time left over to ponder meaningless matters, then I would say ‘well done, good point’, but focus we don’t so there is no time left over, because it seems the church doesn’t look out anymore.
So how about we skip the silly and meet the call?
