It is true, but the statement and myself the speaker can be examined. I believe that this is what scripture says, but it is not a quote.Jesus Himself is the truth. Jesus actual death is the truth as well as His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father. Jesus' authority to forgive sin is truth. As far as if you believe it, it may or may not be truth? I have no ability nor authority to judge that.
Jesus died for my sins before I was born and before I ever sinned.Our sins put Jesus on the cross. There was no other way for redemption.
