Jesus Christ came, lived a perfect life, bore the wrath we deserved, died in our place, and rose again, overcoming sin and death that we would have life eternal.
While we were still ENEMIES, God had mercy upon us. When we were DEAD in our trespasses and sins, God had mercy upon us. While we were ALIENATED and HOSTILE in mind, God had mercy upon us.
In His love, God sent His Son Jesus. He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Jesus RECONCILED us in His body of flesh by His death. He took the wrath of God in our place. He paid the penalty we deserved. He suffered. He was crucified. He died. He was buried. He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
Jesus presents us HOLY and BLAMELESS and above reproach before God. When we put our faith in Jesus, we are FORGIVEN of all our sin. All of God’s wrath, judgment, and the condemnation and shame we deserved was poured out upon Jesus. He became sin that we might become the righteousness of God.
