What makes all this possible? Romans 10:13

Jesus makes our salvation possible. Acts 4:12. Romans 10:13 says that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. So what is so great about the name of Jesus? As I’ve said, Men are filthy sinners who deserve to go to Hell and be separated from God forever. However, God became man a man and was born in a stable in Bethlehem. Jesus grew up impressing even the priest with his infinite Knowledge of God. Jesus lived a perfect life, in which he loved, taught, and healed. Then, the people that he had spent so long with, the people that knew him saw him grow up, and perform miracles, these same people that he spent his life loving teaching and healing betrayed him. His best friends betrayed him. They mocked him; they beat him, and finally nailed him to a tree. After all that they continued to mock him, they stabbed him with a spear. Christ was hung on that cross to pay for our sins, the Bible says he became sin, our sin, you, I, we hung him on that cross. That had to have been the worst part because he became our sin, the only thing he could really count on had to turn away from him, his father had to turn his back on him, and his father couldn’t look at him because of our sin that he was carrying. And after all that, after we hung him on that cross, what did he say? After all they did to him Jesus said “Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Jesus died so that we could live.
