This journey we walk with Christ is a long journey. And mostly everyone, begins their journey with Him at the cross. But, isn't that the end? This is where your faith and walk with Christ should begin;
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. But John protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me? But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted Him. And, when Jesus was baptized, He went up at once out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he [John] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him. And behold, a voice from heaven said, This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I delight! -Matthew 3:13-17
This is where it all began. Because this was the reason He died on that cross. Because He had to. Because He took our sins at His baptism, and paid for them on the cross.
For the wages which sin pays is death, but the [bountiful] free gift of God is eternal life through (in union with) Jesus Christ our Lord. -Romans 6:23
But wasn't Christ sinless? You see, there's more to this than His death. I can expound more on this, but I feel that I should not. But, if anyone has any questions, feel free to pm me. I'll explain everything to those who truly want to hear.
God bless you all and please do not start any arguments. I'm not here to argue with anyone. I'm just here to spread this wonderful Gospel that the Lord has given since the beginning of time itself.
