What makes the gospel "good news"

There was a question asked on shai linne's facebook page re: some lyrics he wrote that say "for the first time in eternity God was alone" speakin about the cross. The question was "wasnt God alone before He made Adam?" Although his question was only about God being alone b4 Adam(a), it got me thinkin about the fact that there are many Christians who also may not understand God "being alone" on the cross(b).

Well i took the time out to answer the questions.... and a lil more. Hope this is helpful.

Answer (a):
God had never been alone. The Father Son and Holy Spirit have always[even before the world began] existed as the Godhead without any separation from each other. Even as Jesus walked out His earthly ministry He was always connected with The Father and Spirit.... and then there was the cross. Which brings us to...

Answer (b):
Matt 27:45-46" From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Often times people misrepresent Jesus' agony as being a result of crucifixion. However every Scriptural account of the events of the crucifixion confirm His full acceptance of His fate and purpose. Jesus said things like noone takes my life rather I lay it down. It wasnt death or the way He died that made Him ask the Father why He forsook Him. When Jesus uttered the words "Eli, Eli, lama sabachtani?" it was because He for the first time felt the Father turn away from Him.

There is at least 1 Scripture that gives us this insight:
II Corinthians 5:21

"For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Follow the quotations;

God the Father cannot look at "sin". For a moment "Jesus", symbolically, became "sin" and God had to look away. "Jesus" becoming "sin" involved "Him[Jesus]" LITERALLY taking the wrath of God on our behalf... so for a portion of the time on the cross, "Jesus"-being God in the flesh- felt alone as the Father poured out His wrath on "sin".

Make sense? Hope so.

Then comes the second half II Cor 5:21 "that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." The other half of the divine exchange takes place here. We [all who repent and believe putting their faith in Jesus as Savior] are now looked at as the "the righteousness of God" in him[Jesus]. God having punished "sin" already can now looks at His people and see righteousness- literally the righteousness of Jesus. God treated Christ as if He lived a wicked and perverse life and then turns and treats the wicked and perverse, who turn to him in repentance and faith, as if they lived in complete compliance to His laws. Crazy!

This is why the "good news" of the cross of Christ really is good news. And it didnt end there. He laid in a tomb dead for 3 days and then by His Spirit rose back to life defeating death which was the power that sin and Satan had over all people, and now Jesus offers all who believe in Him that same conquering Spirit which resurrects us to a new life while on earth as well as will resurrect us to eternal life in immortal bodies.

Maaan if knowing that Jesus became a liar, thief, fornicator, murderer, backbiter, homosexual, slanderer, adulterer, rapist, and all else... so that you could not only be forgiven but made perfect and holy isnt good news I dont know what is!! I know what the bad news is though. The bad news is that all who continue in their sin & rebellion, no matter how small, will have to pay the price themselves. Jesus was able to endure God's wrath -and take it- for hours before the ransom had been paid and He died... YOU cant take it and therefore it'll take all of eternity for you to pay it. And thats what hell is.

So seriously... why wouldnt you turn to Him? Is sin really worth it?
