Salvation: Coin Theory

Detailed Explanation of the Coin Story

One Man - One Coin
Sin's Wages - One Coin
Admittance - One Coin

Your value - One Coin
Jesus Value - Priceless - IOW He's worth Quadrillions of Coins

So, he dies and his priceless blood is used to pay your costs.

God sent everyone to Earth with one coin, the value of their life. That coin is the price of your sin, whether you carry a feather or have an entire caravan. The coin must be paid. Without that coin, however, you will not enter Heaven.

So, if you must pay death for your sin, then you will be coinless.

God decided to send his priceless son, who is worth countless coins, to pay for anyone willing to give their coin to God.

Realize this, if he didn't consider his son's unnatural death necessary, God would have gladly slaughtered us all, not letting a second thought enter his head. We aren't worth his son, in the meanest sense. We aren't. We're not a flea on the dog playing in the yard down the street from God's house, compared to his son.

That being said, he DID send his son to die for us. So understand that when he did that, he paid an incredibly terrible price so that we could be with him. That is YOU, sending your ONLY child, to die for the FLEAS on the DOG down the street.

Yeah, he loved us THAT much.

So his son's value paid for every living person on Earth, and not everyone was willing to accept the payment. That means that his blood, while not spent in vain, overpaid the necessary price. He overpaid by a lot.

At the end of your life, when they ask you who paid your price, tell them. Tell them you aren't worth the price paid, but it was paid anyway.
