Jesus
The debt is paid. You are free !
For God so loved the world that he
gave his only son that whosoever
believes in him will not parish, but
have eternal life. John 3:16
What, then, is the difference which He (Jesus) has
made to the whole human mass? It is just this; that
the business of becoming a son of God, of being
turned from a created thing into a begotten thing, of
passing over from the temporary biological life into
timeless "spiritual" life, has been done for us.
Humanity is already "saved" in principle. We
individuals have to appropriate that salvation. But
the really tough work - the bit we could not have
done ourselves - has been done for us. We have not
got to try to climb up into spiritual life by our own
efforts; it has already come down into the human
race. If we will only lay ourselves open to the one
Man in whom it was fully present, and who, in spite
of being God, is also a real man, He will do it in us
and for us.
