Our Sinless Substitute
Many people think it’s necessary to negotiate with God in order to be accepted by Him. They pray, “Lord, I’ll do this for You if You’ll do that for me.” But Christ has done everything necessary to fulfill any vow we could make to “better ourselves” in God’s eyes. On these terms we can come to God freely, knowing we are forgiven fully. What a joyous reality!
As our sinless substitute before God, Jesus poured out His life on the Cross. Since Jesus is absolutely perfect, God sees the record of His sinless life instead of our sin and accepts us completely.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
