Unlike most religions, Christianity is not based on a man’s life but on one man’s death. It’s based on the promise that because Jesus conquered death He can also conquer and forgive sin. When Jesus made the sacrifice and said: ‘it is finished’ He didn’t mean suffering, He meant payment for sin. Now as a born again believer we can be free of guilt and shame, Jesus paid the debt of sin and offers us the Holy Spirit as His promise to never leave or forsake us.
