This is my buddy Frank.
His music is awesome.
Nothing can for sin atone, Naught of good that I have done, Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Resolved, that I will live so as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
Later in the storyline of the Bible, we learn that Jesus did in fact come to save people from their sins. He did this by becoming the one who succeeded where he first Adam failed. He died in our place for our sins and rose for our salvation. Amazingly, God not only judged sin in righteousness but then bore its penalty himself as an act of love, he offered forgiveness and reconciliation by grace even though he is the offended person against whom we have all sinned. In so doing, he remains perfectly perfect, and we are more wicked than we ever feared yet more loved than we ever hoped.
