But God has provided the solution for my sin problem, which is contained in the first part of the same section of the Apostles’ Creed, where it says that Jesus Christ, “was crucified” before he rose again on the third day. Jesus paid the penalty that our sins deserve. Those who turn away from sin and put their faith in Jesus Christ as their sin-bearer receive forgiveness of sins and can live in God’s presence. When Jesus returns, he will welcome them into his eternal kingdom.
At the end of the book of Revelation, final words are prayer:
“Amen. Come, Lord Jesus” – John
He is asking Jesus to come again, to “judge the living and the dead."
