The most unpopular statement that turns the religious world upside down is that Jesus didn’t die as your substitute.
Why? Because who wants to obey the Apostle Paul and do what he told the Church they needed to do. Philippians 2:12, …work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Or what the Apostles preached to the church in Acts 14:22, …and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Or what Jesus said in Matthew 16:24, Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
We are told we must work out our salvation. That through much tribulation we enter into the Kingdom of God, and we must pick up our cross and follow Jesus.
James 2:14, What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
