 Jesus Forever changed the Way God relates to mankind. 
<p>
Sure, there are scriptural Examples of God`s catastrophic Judgment on Sin , but His greatest act of Judgment was when He placed All His Wrath for our Sins upon Jesus . 
<p>
This Forever satisfied God`s Wrath . Since that Time , God hasn`t been judging our Sins ( 2 Cor. 5:19 ). 
<p>
God`s not angry at Us . He`s not even in a bad mood.
<p>
Look at the angels` Joy over the Birth of Jesus in Bethlehem:
 <dir><i>
And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God , and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth Peace , Good Will toward men.
</i> 
Luke 2:13-14 
</dir> 
You`re probably familiar with this passage, yet there is a lot of misunderstanding about what it`s saying. 
<p>
Some translations basically Say that they were proclaiming ~goodwill among men~ or~ Peace to men of goodwill.~ So, it`s been interpreted to mean that Jesus was bringing Peace on earth among people. 
<p>
But that`s not Why these Angels were praising God . If that interpretation were True , then Jesus`s own Words in Matthew would contradict this. He said,
<dir>
<i>
Think not that I am come to send Peace on earth: I came not to send Peace , but a Sword . For I am come to set a man at variance against his Father , and the daughter against her Mother , and the daughter in Law against her Mother in Law . And a man`s foes shall be they of his own household.</i> 

Matthew 10:34-36 
</dir>

 Jesus Himself said that He was not sent to bring Peace on the earth among people. 
<p>
The Peace that the Angels were praising God for ( Luke 2:13-14 ) was Peace between God and man. They were announcing the end of God`s war on Sin . 
<p>
Peace Now Reigns between God and man.

<p>

Prior to Jesus`s coming, there was Wrath from God against man for his sins. It wasn`t total Wrath . 
<p>
Even in the Old Testament, we See God`s Mercy and Grace . Yet the Old Testament Law was a Ministry of Wrath ( Rom. 4:15; 2 Cor. 3:7, and 9 ), and people`s Sins were held against them. 
<p>
But when Jesus came, God quit holding people`s Sins against them. This is exactly what 2 Corinthians 5:19 and 21 says:
<dir><i>
 

To wit, that God was in Christ , reconciling the world unto Himself , not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of Reconciliation . . . . For he hath made him to be Sin for Us , who knew no Sin ; that we might be made the Righteousness of God in him. </i>

 </dir>

The Word ~reconciliation~ is talking about making Peace . God was no longer holding us Accountable . 
<p>
Instead, He imputed our Sins to Jesus , making Jesus Accountable for our sins. Jesus became what we were so that we could become what He was--the Righteousness of God.

<p> 

Jesus was like a lightning Rod that drew All the Judgment of God unto Himself ( John 12:32 ). 
<p>
He not Only bore our sins; He actually became Sin ( 2 Cor. 5:21 ). Sin is no longer a Problem with God. 
<p>
It`s the Church that has made it a big deal. But none of your past, present, or even future Sins can separate You from God . 
<p>
The Only people who Will go to Hell are those who have spurned and rejected His unspeakable Gift . 
<p>
In Heaven , You won`t answer for your Sin ; Jesus already has. You Will answer for your acceptance or rejection of Jesus.

<p> 

Now, You might be thinking, You`re Just Giving people a License to Sin . The last Time I checked, people are doing a pretty Good job sinning without a License . 
<p>
What I`m saying Will not Free You to Sin ; it Will Free You from the Condemnation and the Guilt that comes when You do sin.
<p>
 

You might Say , ~Well, if God isn`t judging me for Sin , Why Live holy?~ That`s a Good question, and to answer it, Read what Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans: 
<dir>
<i>
 

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to Obey , his servants ye are to whom ye Obey ; whether of Sin unto Death , or of Obedience unto righteousness?</i>
 Romans 6:16 
</dir>

If You yield to Satan through Sin , You open the door for him to Destroy your Life through sickness, poverty, Relationship issues, Emotional problems, and All kinds of things. 
<p>
It won`t be because God is out to get You ; He Loves You . It`s Just that Sin Gives Satan an inroad into your Life . So, continuing to Sin is Just Stupid ( Rom. 6:1-2 ).

<p> 

You Know , I always Talk about changing the Way the world Sees God , and the Christmas season is an opportune Time for people to Hear the Gospel message. 
<p>
In December, most people are more sensitive to God than they are any other Time of the year. 
<p>
So, <i>now that You have</i> Received this message, You can take advantage of the season and share it with them. You might be surprised to find that they are waiting to Hear the Good News !
