All for You

More than 2000 years ago, a man was sent here to die for your sins. He is the only perfect man that has ever lived and God sent him to die for our imperfections. That day on the cross over 2000 years ago there were two men crucified next to Christ. On one side was an aweful man who had lied, stolen, murdered and would do it again if he had the chance. On the other side was a man who knew he had made mistakes. He had accepted his fate because he was a thief and a murderer and knew he deserved everything that he recieved. But, on that day when the man faced the punishment for his crimes he faced a different fate than the man on the other side of Jesus. He asked Jesus for forgiveness and asked if he would remember him when he entered his kingdom. Jesus said that he would join him in heaven. Instead of spending eternity in hell like the man on the left side of Jesus, he would spend eternity in heaven. Although the thief on the right side of Jesus never did anything to earn eternal life, it was given to him. There is nothing that you can say or do that will get you into heaven. Jesus has already paid the price for your sin. Now all that matters is which side of the cross you are on. If you are ready to live a life admitting that you make mistakes and asking for the forgiveness of God then you are on the right side of the cross. When you live your life on the right side of the cross you can truly say:

"I am 4Given"
