God's very best possible, wonderful announcement

Christ Jesus died innocently a torturous death on a cross, to pay the required ransom for each and every human being to be set free from slavery to the devil (which is the natural condition for everyone born on earth). 

Is this true? Yes. For proof, check out the countless testimonies of people who were precisely set free from sin-slavery when they accepted Christ Jesus as their lord. For example: 
      I am one of them. 
      Another is evangelist Steve Hill, formerly a hard-drug addict. 
      A brave Scotsman whose manslaughtering alcoholism evaporated.

Christ lives and governs Heaven and Earth to lead people who call Jesus Lord, through this world and into eternal life. 

      "And having been perfected He became, 
      to all who are obeying Him, 
      responsible for eternal salvation..." 
                        (Hebrews 5:9, CFB) 

      "But gratitude be to God,
      because you were slaves of the sin,
      yet you obeyed from heart
      unto that to which you were delivered,
      that form of teaching.
      Then, having been liberated from the sin,
      you were enslaved to the righteousness." 
                        (Romans 6:17-18, CFB) 

      "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me.
      Going, therefore, disciple all the nations,
      baptizing them
      in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
      teaching them to keep all that I have commanded you." 
                        (Matthew 28:18b-20a, CFB)
