The death of Jesus and its significance? | Upper Room | Shorts
Romans 6:23 reads, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
As sinners, we can only pay the price of sin on our own by being punished and placed in hell for all eternity. But God’s Son, Jesus Christ, came to earth to pay the price of our sins. Because He did this for us, we now have the opportunity to not only have our sins forgiven, but to spend eternity with Him. To make this happen, we just need to place our faith in what Jesus did on the cross. We can't save ourselves, so Jesus took our place. The death of Jesus Christ is the substitutionary atonement.
