I know I posted drafts of this a few times already. Please forgive me for that. I just want to know two things: Is there any audience for which it is effective? Will anyone be brought to Christ through it?
Avoiding the Wrath of God
God, in judging according to righteousness, was going to judge all, for all are sinners, transgressors of His Law, to suffer the wrath of God forever the moment they passed away, if open to Him was no other way to continue a righteous judge. For as all are sinners all are headed to suffer the wrath of God, but through faith in Christ Jesus and the action He did for them, they can receive eternal life.
For as all are sinners, all are worthy that the judgement of God should fall on them, if only by this He were able to do His justice. For because of His justice His judgement must fall upon sin. If therefore His judgement can fall on no other for the judgement of all their sins, His judgement must fall upon all for all their sins.
But God, in His love for all the world, without the will to condemn it, appointed a person to be an atonement for sins, even Jesus Christ His Son, of the power to pay for our sins, with the power to do this seeing He never sins, for whom, seeing that He is God, it was needless to suffer forever. And so, being born of a virgin, He entered into the world, and lived a sinless life within the world, after which, by His death on a cross He atoned for all of our sins, by shedding His blood and bearing the wrath of God for us. And following His death were three days and nights, and then He rose from the dead, having met by the means of His blood the justice of God.
By faith in Jesus and by faith in the payment which was offered by Him for our sins, all who believe in Him are reckoned as righteous, God having taken their every sin and held it against them no more, and imputed to them the righteousness of Christ. And thus, seeing their sins are abolished, they are saved from eternal judgment, and granted life abiding for all eternity. And as well as this, it is not possible that any of them should be lost. Their sins, therefore, will God not judge, seeing now they are reckoned as righteous.
Therefore on those who believe in Jesus while breathing continues within them, on them is salvation from everlasting judgment, but on those with a heart of unbelief even until their death, the eternal judgment of God shall fall upon them. This is the judgement which was to come, even upon all, but God, in His love for all the world, has provided a way of evasion.
