The Thoughts of Ryan-C

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.
