56. Jesus came to live a perfect life which fulfilled the law

Tue Nov 11, 2025, 05:21 PM

Nov 11

Because we couldn’t

He was tortured on the cross, died and descended into hell, fought the devil and on the 3rd rose victorious from the grave

He paid the price for our sins, so whoever believes in
Him will never die and have eternal life/ peace
