This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth. For there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men - the testimony given in it's proper time. 1 Timothy 2, 3 - 6

An ill person who is waiting for the medical diagnostic from the doctor

For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6, 23

What is the diagnostic?

The Aids virus weakens our immune system. This virus cannot protect against any other illnesses.

Somehow this is how sin contaminates us. Let us explain ourselves: when man is born he is inevitably contaminated with this fearsome "virus" which attacks man's soul. This invisible ennemy tries to hide himself but he is here and he carries spiritual death.

What is the cure? Wages of what sin deserves is death. God cannot change anything. He suggests a substitution. Death which sin deserves was known by somebody else, Jesus Christ.

The only effective cure is faith in Jesus.

How can we follow the prescription? It is very easy: we only need to believe. To believe is not to repeat a sentence but it is to accept wholeheartedly as true that Jesus died instead of me and that God resurrected him to show us that he is completely satisfied. Sin is removed, healing is definite and salvation is acquired.

"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9, 15
