I’ve thought that the Apostle’s explanation of the Price of Sin and the Means of Payment as explained in Romans to be the most logical argument for the need for Redemption through Christ to be found in the Scriptures.
-Mankind is doomed to die, why we must die, and how that happened.
-Christ’s example of how such a fate is not for those who believe in their hearts and confess with their mouths “Jesus is Lord”.
Imho, that cannot be any simpler or concise with as much physical evidence as can be discovered through unbiased inquiry.
So the line of thinking “well I’m too intelligent to believe that..” falls on deaf ears as Paul’s approach appeals to the soundest logic and clear conclusions..there is no escaping Paul’s testimony.
Does a person need to believe 100% in the existence of God the father and the resurrection of Jesus to get this free gift?
