Paying

At one time, I was an enemy of God. My back was turned on him, and I was headed in a different direction. I wanted to be the one in charge of my life and refused to acknowledge God’s authority. I wasn’t an atheist. I believed that God existed, but he was distant, and I was content to keep it that way.

Jesus followed the Father’s will all the way to the cross. There, on the cross, he died for your sins and mine. God’s servant served us by paying the penalty of our sin.
