Names

Jesus is a friend of sinners. He laid down his life for us on the cross. When you trust in Jesus as the One who paid for your sin on the cross, you become his friend…forever.

Have you accepted Jesus’ invitation to follow him? Will you be invited to that great celebration—the marriage supper of the Lamb?

Jesus came to deal with our disease. He “bore our sins in his body on the tree . . . by his wounds [we] have been healed” (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus is the Great Physician.

Jesus voluntarily went to the cross to die for your sins, to pay sin’s penalty as your substitute. He provided the way—the only way—to have an eternal relationship with God. Jesus is, indeed, “the Lord saves.”

The Branch provided eternal salvation and security to his people — those who trust in him alone as the only way to have a relationship with the living God.

Jesus was given authority, glory, and sovereign power. All the people worshiped him, and he established an everlasting dominion that will never be conquered. The Ancient of Days is One you can trust today, tomorrow, and forever.

When a person trusts in Christ alone as the only way to have a relationship with the living God, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within. God, through his Spirit, lives in us.

Because of our trust in Jesus, God declares us, “Not guilty!” and gives us the right standing that Jesus has before the Father. Indeed, the Lord is our righteousness.

Our hope is fixed in Jesus. He died for our sins and rose again from the dead. His Spirit empowers us during our time on this earth, and we know that the moment we are absent from the body, we will be present with the Lord.
