Why do we need Jesus?

Most people have been to church at least once or heard some one talk about Jesus, but I think most people have no idea who He is or why He had to come to the world. A lot of churches these days are sugar coating the message teaching all the upbeat parts of the bible but forget to teach why Jesus had to come in the first place? Why do we need a savior, what do we need saving from? Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Lets look at that (for All have sinned), so you may ask yourself what is sin? Sin is unrighteousness,(Read next blog for more info about SIN) we cannot stand before a righteous God and be covered in sin.
So Jesus had to come and be the final sacrifice for our sins, so we could one day stand before a righteous God. 2 Corinthians 5:10 says For we must ALL appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body (while we were here on earth) according to what they have done, whether good or bad. So one day everyone will have to give account of His life in front of Almighty God. We cannot make it into heaven if we are covered in sin. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says For He (God) made Him(Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. So when Jesus died on the cross he died in place of us and took all of our sins. Past,present, and future and bore all of them. Just imagine it! He took every one of our sins how painful that must have been. Jesus was perfect and took all of it on Himself in place of us, to save us from going to hell because of our sin. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. So If you understand now that you are a sinner ask for forgiveness and repent(turn away from your sin) . Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. Now once you've asked for forgiveness its not an easy path but its the right path a path of truth. John 14:6 Jesus said to him (Thomas) ''I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the father except through me. Matthew 7:14 says Because NARROW is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it. The only reason there will be few who find it is because people are stubborn and selfish and think that by following God they will have to give up stuff they don't want to give up and they don't want any one or anything to control them. Galatians 6:7 says Do not be deceived: God is not mocked for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. So just know you can live life however you want to, in the service of yourself or in the service of God but one day we will all have to give account of how we have lived. Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I found this verse this morning and it think it really sums up everything very well 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins; He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness.
