Since God is holy, righteous, and just, He could not allow sin to go unpunished. Sin is a slap in the face to God. God despises sin.
The divine solution to this problem of separation with God (SIN), was for JESUS, God's only Son, to become the true and living sacrifice for sin. Due to Jesus' sinless life, He was the only qualified to pay the penalty for man's sin and to bridge the gap between God and man. Thank God for Jesus! Roman 5:8.
Through Jesus' death on the cross...
1. He took our place and our punishment. -Hebrews 9:26-28
2. He exchanged His righteousness for our sin. -2 Corinthians 5:21
3. He took our curse and gave us His blessings. -Galatians 3:13
4. He became the only way to eternal life. -John 14:6
