Enter into relationship with Christ by faith in His finished work for you. He was punished in your place. If you will rest your faith in that alone you will not have to pay the punishment yourself.
10-4
If not, you will have to pay the punishment for your sins.
Which no sinful man can ever do.
The decision is yours and it is here you have to make it not after this life here.
10-4 - with the proviso that who makes the decision is sometimes hard to figure. When I fell in love, did I decide to or was I swept up in mhy lover's wooing? Pretty much both.
I stand by my statments and God knows the motives of my heart.
I do not defend what you call the protestant church. I stand with Christ and His Word. Denominations including the RCC are a thing of men not Christ. There is only one true church and that is the saved by Christ church. It's members are in many churches and in some places very much alone, but they have Christ and He has them. They do not have to add one thing to what Christ did for them on His cross and they do not try. Yet they lay their lives down daily because of the love between their Lord and them.
