3. What did God do for you?

What did God do for you?

 God loved us so much that he gave us the greatest gift.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:16,17

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

God sent his one and only Son into this world to be the sin sacrifice for us. Christ Jesus, the Son of God, came to this earth and lived a perfect life that we could never live. Jesus was fully God and fully man, the "God-man".

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... John 1:1

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Jesus took our place on the cross and paid the price for the sins of the whole world.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.. Isaiah 53:5

Only the death of God could pay the debt caused by the sins of the whole world. Christ's death on the cross reconciled us to God, bridging the gap that was caused by our sin.

Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

But Jesus is not dead! The grave did not hold him. Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion.

(Jesus) was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25
