Jesus came to the world to show us the truth and to save us. Having lived a perfect life, preached the Gospel and completed the Testimony of God, he gave himself as an offering and sacrifice to God to redeem us from our sins. The Lord suffered not only because of the sins of one man or one group, but of the whole world (1 John 2:2), so that he might fully fulfill the righteousness of God and gain the legal right to judge all, living and dead, and be Lord of all, both those who are saved and those who are lost, because He has paid everyone's debt, although not everyone accepts His Offer of Salvation. The Bible says that He blotted out sin by the sacrifice of Himself sm (Hebrews 9:26). For with the sacrifice of the Son of God, how could any sin, or even the very being of sin, continue to subsist? The very sin in existence was condemned and conquered by Christ on the Cross. Therefore, since his death, on a higher plane, the only sin for which man will be judged in fact is the unbelief, the outrage and the vilification of not believing in the Son of God, who voluntarily gave himself to replace the sinner, bearing the sins of all in His body, and pouring out His soul for our redemption (Isaiah 53:12). All the sins of the world were paid for in his sacrificial death on the Cross, both those who are saved and those who are lost. Therefore, if there is repentance and faith in his Name, all other sins are forgiven and remitted, for they were all paid for in his blood shed on the cross. The death of Jesus is both salvation and condemnation for the world. Salvation for those who humbly receive He by Faith, and condemnation for those who reject He, despising the Grace of God. The Lord having also risen for our justification and conquered everything, there is no longer any excuse for those who remain unbelieving to reject such a so great and mighty salvation. Righteousness is now achieved not through works, but through Faith in the Son of God. Man alone can do nothing to be saved. There is no remedy for man except the new birth. Only Faith, independent of works, can save. The righteousness and merit of salvation belong to Jesus alone, the just and holy Lamb of God, in whom no sin was found, and who lived the only perfect life that was possible for all of us, and by which the sin of the world was taken away. We are justified based solely on the Righteousness, Merit and Perfect Life of Jesus, that only righteous man who ever lived on earth and in whom there was never any sin. Whoever believes in the Testimony of the Son of God, through Repentance and Faith, has forgiveness and Eternal Life. This is the reason why many, called great sinners, will be saved and will experience salvation in the fullness of life, forgiveness and the grace of God, while many who say they are righteous will suffer eternal condemnation, because although they professed, they did not believe in Christ, while the former repented and believed.
"He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3: 18)".
"Therefore whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rebels against the Son will not see life, but he remains the wrath of God (John 3:36)".
If you think you must be good and you are trying to be good, many want to be good, but no one can be good, except God (Matthew 19:17). You don't have to be good, you have to repent of your sins and believe in Jesus, through whom you receive Forgiveness and the New Spiritual Birth to Eternal Life (John 3:3). No matter how hard you try alone, God will not accept from you a mere reformation. You need Christ, His Perfect Life and Righteousness. God will only accept your total transformation and rebirth through faith in Christ. Whoever believes in the Son of God and remains in the Faith will be saved for Eternal Life and entry into the Kingdom of God.
"Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent (John 6:29)."
