#565 - Joseph Prince - The Best News You'll Ever Hear - Highlights

The Bible says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We're not talking about, you know, a religion. Christianity should never be made into a religion, amen? It is grace and truth. It is a relationship, amen. This is God reaching out to you, not man trying to keep the Ten Commandments, man trying his best, man doing this, man doing... no, no, it's God coming down and declaring his love for us, amen? Dying for our sins. God cannot just forgive without payment, amen? Or else he's not right. Like a judge cannot just presumptuously let a criminal free, unless there's a payment, amen? Usually he pays for it with time. You do the crime, you do the time, right? But Jesus took our place, died in our place. And today, we celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead.

The law of Moses is that sin, uncleanness is more powerful. Sin, uncleanness can contaminate you. Everyone in this world is under sin, and sin is rampant, right? So who will be a champion? Who will be the avenger against sin? Who will be the one that can overcome all this for us? Jesus came.

The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

All right, don't be so shocked with your sin. Don't be so shocked with whatever you see in yourself. Jesus's grace is greater. It will overwhelm it, amen?

Why was Jesus delivered to the cross? Because of our offenses, our sins against God, against a holy God, amen? By why was Jesus raised from the dead? Because we were declared righteous. By whom? By God. In other words, Jesus's Resurrection means you are acquitted. You are righteous.
