God made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 (New International Version)
"This is arguably one of the most important verses in the Bible
... It tells us what God did - He sent his Son
... It tells us who Jesus is - He is sinless
....It tells us what Jesus did - He was made sin
... It tells us who we are - the righteousness of God
... It tells us where we are - in Him".

The simple Gospel is that God has good intentions for you. He wants to take away from you all that separates you from Himself. He placed that stuff he calls sin on Jesus. Jesus could carry it for you and me because He had no sin of His of own. Jesus took your sin and he gave you His Righteousness. That is everything He is and has done which makes Him right with His Father…… Wow.
It is true. When a person puts their trust in Jesus they receive as their very own, the life of the only one who has ever lived totally for God. His love is poured into their lives. The Holy Spirit empowers them to live their life for God. They become God’s Child, fully part of His family. Jesus is in them, and they are in Him. They are made right with God
