The Scriptures state, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Christ paid the penalty for our sin. We all deserve deat...

Luke 23:34: Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

From the time of our forefathers, who were told that the Messiah would come, when He came, they did not believe in him. When the Messiah, Lord Jesus, came, He did mighty works of God the Father, and they did not believe in Him; they then crucified Him, for then the cry of the blood went to God the Father. Joseph then, after three days, took His body and laid Him in a tomb. The chief priests and the Pharisees sealed the tomb and placed a guard over it. (Mat 27:59-60,65-66) The angel of the Lord then descended from heaven, rolled back the stone, and sat in the tomb. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, who sat with the other guards at the tomb, were then in fear, and the angel said, 'He is risen.' Lord Jesus at first descended into the earth, the graves were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had slept arose (Mat 27:52-53), and then Lord Jesus ascended on the earth. Many guards saw and told the chief priest, who were then given a large amount of money and were told to say, "His disciples came and stole His body." (Mat 28:1-7,10-15/John 20:17) 

The consequences of sin in mankind today were from the time of Adam and Eve. Eve was deceived by the serpent to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which led their eyes to be opened. Having their eyes opened, which then led their blood to strive, they hid themselves when they were called to be in the presence of the Lord God. When Eve conceived, she bore Cain and then Abel, in a process of time, as they grew up, Cain brought the fruit of the ground, and Abel brought the firstlings of his flock to offer unto the Lord God, our Father. Unto their offerings, the Lord God had respect to Abel’s offering, for the cry of the blood of the lamb of God (His creation), went to the Lord God the Father, and unto Cain’s offering, the fruit of the ground, He had no respect. Cain’s blood then strived in him, for he had no humbleness in him to discern, which then led him to be very angry. His countenance fell, as the sin was then lying at the door, in anger to strive his heart, the serpent then led him to slay his brother Abel. (Gen 2:9/3:1,7/4:1-10)

The cry of Abel’s blood then went to God the Father, as the cry of his flock, the lamb, that he offered to our Lord God. God the Father saw the wickedness of man, which was great in the earth, for every imagination of the thoughts of their heart was only evil. The Lord God repented and grieved in His heart for the creation of man. (Gen 6:5-6) This consequence of sin today is the blood that leads and strives in you, through your flesh, in your heart; one needs to discern in the right spirit. For they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. One having the right spirit of humbleness are then led by the Spirit of God. (Rom 8:5,14) For then there is nothing that goes within them that can defile them, for it entered not into their heart, but into the belly, purging all meats. Who are then led to let it go out of the belly, it then goes through the draught purging all meats in your body, leading the blood not to strive in you. The Spirit of the Lord shall then rest upon you, giving you the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, and might, for you shall then have the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. (Mark 7:19/Isa 11:2)

Leviticus 17:11: For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the souls.
