EGAD— If it's important to you it's significant to us
Sin was the hardest word I encountered in the beginning of my Christian journey.
What's the goal as a follower of Jesus Christ? - we were created in the image of God!
Failure to love God and Failure to love people is the main sin we face - clear!
Sin is more than just doing bad things - deceive ourselves: moral failures.
Sin - related to the good news: who had no sin to be our sin for us: Jesus, good news!
Break trust with a person / country - violating a trusting relationship with another
Humanity breaks trust with God and with each other
Jesus the Messiah - God raised up a human - Jesus bearing our failures
God took responsibility of our betrayal
Crooked consequences of choices- carry your avon
Active shared responsibility
The servant - carrying the AVON of many and will emerge, resurrect
Jesus gave his life on our behalf to make everything right- people can walk upright
There are some messages really hard in the Scripture and it requires some more thinking and research on our parts.
1 Corinthians 15: 29-34
It turns out that Paul probably was talking about pagan practice - baptism for the dead here.
