The Word of God teaches, โThe wages of sin is death.โ When Christ stepped across the stars into this world of sin and woe, death was powerless over Him. Christ knew no sin! He was the sinless, spotless Lamb of God; therefore death could not lay its icy grip upon His shoulder.
Tell me then, how is it that, at the end of His earthly ministry, Heโs suffering and dying in shame and disgrace? You see, Christ wasnโt dying for His sins, for Heย knew no sinย (2 Cor.ย 5:21; 1 John 3:5). He was dying forย your sinsย andย my sinsย upon that cruel tree. Our sins and iniquities were laid upon Him that He might redeem us back to God through His precious blood.
Now God turns to a lost and dying world with the good news of Calvary. Simply believe that Christ died for your sinsย personally, and rose again the third day, and God will wonderfully save you from the wrath to come, according to the riches of His grace. Do you know the joy of sins forgiven? If not, โBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be savedโ (Actsย 16:31; Rom.ย 10:13; 1 Cor. 15:3,4). source
