Acts 13:38-39a “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.  Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin…” As a general rule the world does not realize the absolute necessity of having a relationship with God one must believe Jesus died so that you and I could have our sins forgiven.  Jesus lived, died and rose for one purpose: so you and I and all others could have our sins forgiven.  Without that faith there is no forgiveness, and therefore, there is no living with God for all eternity.  That belief is ignored by many, but never ignored by a Christian.
