YOU WERE DEAD WHILE YOU LIVED AND COMDEMNED FOREVER – UNABLE TO RETURN. YOU WERE FORCIBLY LIFTED UP TO THE CROSS BY THE ONE WHO WAS LIFE ITSELF. HE DIED AS IF HE WERE YOU AND ROSE AGAIN AS IF HE WERE YOU. YOU WERE BORN AGAIN AND YOU WILL NOW LIVE FOREVER TOGETHER WITH HIM, PROVIDED YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT HE DID FOR YOU. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” (John 12:32) “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” (Eph. 2:4-6) https://books2read.com/u/bxXOB6
