Access

At one time I worked on a secure Air Force base, as a contractor working for the MDA.  In order to have access to base, I had to have a special badge.  But before I could get that, there had to be security checks made on me.  Once I had the badge, I could go through secure portals to the secure area freely by just swiping my badge.  But without the badge, I could not enter in.

For unto us a child is born (Mary’s 1^st child, JESUS, formed from her DNA was fully human) unto us a SON is given (GOD gave us HIS eternal SON who is fully GOD, who made the all things and was a willing and joyful participant)… Isaiah 9:6a  This is a great mystery I cannot fully comprehend but lets talk about why it happened.

In Matthew 1:21 Joseph (who is to be HIS step-father) was instructed: you shall call HIS name JESUS for HE will save HIS people from their sins.

Sin is what separates us from GOD, Isaiah 59:2, therefore, sin is a big issue.  When JESUS CHRIST died  on the cross all the sins of the world (past, present and future) were laid on HIM and HE suffered the punishment for each and every one of them.  But only those who receive JESUS gain access to that forgiveness. Just  as my receiving a certain badge gave me access to base.

Jesus said clearly: if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will die in your sins. John 8:24  Jesus later says: I tell you the truth, who ever hears MY word and believes HIM who sent ME, has eternal life, and will not be condemned: he has crossed over from death to life. John5:24

Do you have access to the cleansing forgiveness of JESUS?
