Imagine that you committed a crime and were sentenced to the death penalty with no hope of ever escaping, but an innocent man comes and trades places with you. Because he loves you, he takes the penalty for you.
How grateful would you be if that was done for you?
This is just a small picture of what Jesus did for all of us!
The bible says that no one is righteous, not one of us, because we all have sinned, and the penalty of sin is death. Because of sin Hell is our default destination. We are all guilty before God. But God sent Jesus to take our place. By him dying on the cross and raising from the dead he freed us from the power of sin and death.
“We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.”- Romans 3:22-24
