The well-known, though often only partially quoted, passage is found in Exodus 20:56 (and a few other places in the books of Moses) and is linked to the second commandment of the famous ten. Romans 6:23 (NKJV) - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The very premise of A Nightmare on Elm Street is rooted in the Biblical idea of the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Īll humans are sinners because of the sin that Adam and Eve passed down to all humans.? We are born in opposition to God and His ways.? This is why humans have to learn to do right.? We naturally do wrong.? We naturally do things our own way, which is contrary to God?s way. Our slavery to sin and the bondage of death made incarnation and suffering necessary to. Let?s revisit the basics of the Christian faith by discussing the cost of that salvation.? What did salvation cost? We say it is a gift from God and therefore we pay nothing.? However, that doesn?t mean that it is absolutely free. (Epistle to Diognetus, in The Apostolic Fathers, 256-57). Let?s get back to basics.? Christianity is about one main thing and that is Jesus Christ.? I know that we are bombarded with teachings about prosperity, health, and abundance, but the fact is that Jesus Christ died so that we would be reconciled to God.? Jesus did not die so that we would have good health, wealth, and prosperity.? The primary objective of salvation is to restore our relationship with the Lord God.
