Jesus Christ lived a perfect and sinless life, died in the place of sinners, absorbing the wrath of God, paying the penalty for our sins and reconciling us to God. On the cross Jesus Christ suffered and died in our place to forgive us, love us, cleanse us, and embrace us as the punishment for our sins was shifted from us to Jesus. Because Jesus died for our sins we confess our sins to Jesus Christ and one another, put sin to death in our life, forgive one another, and invite others to do the same.
Something to consider: God restores us through a great sacrifice.
