How important is Jesus’ sinless life, his willing sacrifice of himself, his suffering, his death, and his resurrection? Why? When did you put your trust in what Jesus did on the cross? When did you call asking Jesus for forgiveness and the free gift of life? How confident are you of your eternal destination today? Why?
