The United Church, Hyde : What Is Christianity?
But many people rejected Jesus. They thought they’d be happier making their own rules and living outside his kingdom. This rejection of the King is something we all do. Jesus called it wrongdoing.
On the cross, Jesus was cut off from God’s friendship and goodness. He chose to experience hell – so that we don’t have to. The sinless King died to take the punishment wrongdoing deserves.
Repent means to turn our lives around, to live with Jesus in charge instead of ourselves. Believe means to trust that Jesus has done everything we need to give us a place in his kingdom.
Jesus offers all this to anyone and everyone who turn their lives around and believes.
