Jesus, the door to the kingdom of heaven, is the word of God made flesh. The word of God became flesh because God gave man dominion on the earth. Man forfeited authority in the earthly realm to satan when man chose to disobey God's order. This was the fall of man which separated God from His creation; but God so deeply loved what He created that He had a plan in place that would reconcile His creation back to Himself. God, knowing that the wages of sin is death, knew that He gave man dominion on the earth and only Man could pay the price. Therefore, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, the word of God, to live in the earth as a perfect Man but pay the penalty of a sinful man which is death. Therefore, Jesus dying on the cross was a sufficient payment for sin. Now that the wages of sin, which is death, has been paid, everyone who believes in the Son of God, Jesus, is forgiven of their sin and no longer guilty (free from sin or guilt).

This is the purpose of Jesus Christ, that He would pay the wages of sin which is death and free those who believe in Him from sin or guilt, thus making those who believe, righteous in the sight of God. After Jesus died and paid the price of sin He descended to the depths of the earth, rose from the dead and ascended to the heavens making a spectacle out of satan by overcoming death and taking back the authority and dominion that was forfeited in the beginning. All of this happened to prepare a place for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God of the presence of God dwelling within those who believe in Jesus Christ allowing them to see and experience the kingdom of heaven. Why only those who believe in Jesus? Because those who have yet to believe in the Son of God have not received the forgiveness that comes with believing, therefore their sin has not been paid for.

The wages of sin is death. Jesus dying bought our freedom. Believe in Him & be free.
