Penalty

Jesus is the one way to God. He provided the only way by dying for our sin on the cross.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd.

Acknowledge the battle. That’s the first step in the spiritual growth process called sanctification.

My relationship with God is secure, and my final home is in heaven, but I am not there yet. The penalty of sin is gone, but the propensity to sin remains.

His death paid the penalty for our sin. Through the Son of God and only through the Son of God can we have everlasting life. 

Jesus voluntarily went to the cross to die for your sins, to pay sin’s penalty as your substitute. He provided the way—the only way—to have an eternal relationship with God. Jesus is, indeed, “the Lord saves.”

Because of our trust in Jesus, God declares us, “Not guilty!” and gives us the right standing that Jesus has before the Father. Indeed, the Lord is our righteousness.

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.

Jesus is the Everlasting Father. His authority spans eternity. His visit to earth was purposed to pay the penalty for our sins.
