1 Peter 3:18 NLT: “Christ died for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.”
There is a price to be paid for sinning, assessed to those who choose to repent and straighten things out. By design, each of us should pay our own penalty through eternal separation from the Lord. But our sacrifice of repentance has been usurped by Jesus who paid the penalty for us. We can hold our heads up high and take up eternal residence in the place Jesus prepared for us because our ransom has already been paid!
Jesus paid the sin-penalty once for all time. If Jesus is Lord of your life, your past sins are forgiven and your present sins are forgiven. Even sins in the future not yet committed have been forgiven in advance.
Jesus has positioned himself to be our sacrificial lamb. Jesus is our lamb of God!
