Jesus Died As The Perfect Substitute

Because of God’s love and justice, He provided a way to pay for the sins of His elect without their having to experience His wrath themselves. Recognize Jesus as God’s perfect substitute who died in your place. Repent from your sin and trust in Christ alone as the satisfaction for your sin.
