Christ's Finished Work On the Cross

THE FIRST PROPHECY IN SCRIPTURE OF A SAVIOR FOR MANKIND AFTER ITS FALL CAME EARLY in Genesis 3:15, foretelling the first advent of Christ Jesus:

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

After this, dozens more throughout the Old Testament pertaining to Christ's first humble, supernatural birth, sacrificial death on The Cross and resurrection were written, then fulfilled. He died so that we might live and one day live with Him forever. He humbled Himself so that we might be lifted and exalted from the bondage of our fallen sin nature. He forever slayed the serpent. It was finished on the Cross of Calvary, and there's nothing any of us can do to add or subtract even one jot or tittle to this Supernatural Work of Salvation.

Now each of us is given the choice to accept Christ's finished work on the Cross. As we spread the Good News of the Gospel, we await His Second Coming to judge and separate the quick and the dead, the spiritual sheep from the goats.
