Imagine...
You are in court for several traffic violations that you didn't even know you committed. You were caught on camera speeding thru school zones and making illegal lane changes. Your fine is $10,000. You tell the judge that you are very sorry and he believes you, however he is bound by the law, and he can not let you go until your fine is paid. Just then a perfect stranger comes in and writes a check for $10,000 to pay your fine. All you need to do is eccept it. Would you? That's what God has done for us. He will judge you and he will use HIS law to do so. (Go thru the 10 commandments, have you EVER broken even 1?) He knows that there is nothing that you can DO to pay your fine. So he sent his Son Jesus to pay for your and all sins. Now it is up to you to eccept his death on the cross and resurrection as payment in full for your sins.
May God bless you, and his spirit guide you,

hi NIGH . . .ever heard of EE :shade:
I love your example . ..
ok one more time hopeful...
say God-sin-Jesus-death-forgiveness-your eternal gift . ..ok?
lets go to the sin subject before God as a human being . . .
say your sin would be a traffic violation!
and you would only sin 3 times a day . . .run red light. . .dont stop at a Stop sign . . .speed!
lets see it as a sin factor 3 times a day . . .do something your not supposed to do (lying) . . .dont do something your supposed to do (love your enemies) . . .and then some other one . . .lets say. . .steal or cheat . . .anything . ..
ok lets see:
3 times a day (happens quick) times 7 days in a week = 21
20 times 4 weeks in a month = about 80
80 times 12 month in a year = about 10.000 per year . ..
lets say you live an average from about 70 years old. . .
= about 70.000 sins per life time. . .
hmm in traffic violations. . .you would have to stand before a judge to answer for that one. . .you probably would be having a room under the jail building. . .right?
ok . . well lets see with God. . .
He is Holy *no sin allowed in His presence BUT
He is Just *loves His creation and has mercy on us
so in order for our sins to be paid . . .He send His son JESUS to come and live among us . . .for Jesus to talk to us and tell us about His heavenly Father in Heaven. . .
Jesus went all the way. . .with all passion in His heart for us

He obeyed God and followed through with the only way there was to set sinners free before God:
Jesus himself, innocent Son of God, took all sins to that cross while dying for us and sheding His blood for us
with this sacrifice . . this cross . .Jesus laid the bridge between sinner and God!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14:6
..."that if you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and you believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved" Romans 10:9
For God so loved the world, that He send His only Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life
John 3:16
God bless your heart, hopeful and speak to your mind
