YES,BUT

Q: If Christ did not live a perfect life and die a substitutionary death and rise from the dead, what would we poor sinners do?

 

A: We would all die and go to hell, we would never enjoy fellowship with God nor with each other, we could never rejoice over lost souls coming to God, we would never know the joy of serving Him, we would never know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, we would never know the grace and forgiveness of God, we would have false hope or no hope...."we would be children destined for wrath...."

Yes, but....

 

"....but God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ -- by grace you have been saved -- and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming age He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith . And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God...." ---- Ephesians 2:4-9a.
