The Bible teaches that that there are two aspects to faithfulness. One can be unfaithful to a spouse by having sex with someone other than the spouse, or one can be unfaithful to a spouse by depriving them without consent for a time.

God offers us Heaven as a free gift through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Let us not arrogantly reject Jesus as did the Jews, or ignorantly reject Jesus as did the Romans, but let us recognize the purpose and the prophecy of Jesus’ sacrifice and, in so doing, stay out of Hell.

The plan of God is not without trials and tribulations, not without problems and pitfalls, not without degradation and disappointments, but at the end of the plan, it says, “And the third day, He will rise again.” And it is not just speaking about Jesus.

Although Jesus came to the Jews and as a Jew, Jesus did not come for just the Jews. God sent Jesus because He so loved us that He does not want us to perish, as the result of our being judged on our own merits would be that we would be condemned to hell. Jesus did not come to establish or participate in a temporary earthly kingdom, but to establish an everlasting heavenly kingdom by preparing a place in which we sinners can cleanse ourselves and prepare to come into contact with a Holy God.
