It is finished! ❤️☝🏻
The crucifixion was necessary so that a holy God could righteously deal with sin while opening the way for sinners to be fully forgiven, made new, and brought back into relationship with Him through faith in Christ
Jesus—fully God and fully man, yet without sin—took our place. He bore the judgment our sins deserved (“the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all”), satisfying God’s justice, so that God can forgive without compromising His holiness. His shed blood provides cleansing and a new covenant, and His death breaks the power of sin, death, and the devil.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16–17
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’”
1 Peter 2:24
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”
Colossians 2:13–15
