(a) |
Jesus suffered for mankind’s sins. He took our punishments! God placed upon himself our sins. To save us from torments! |
(b) |
Christ’s atonement was infinite. Pain, inconceivable! It was infinite hurt and fear. Unimaginable! |
(c) |
He was a sinless substitute. He was the Lamb of God! He was a stain-free sacrifice. An offering to God! |
(d) |
Jesus ransomed himself for us. Because of him, we’re free! Christ’s holy blood paid the ransom. We slaves can now be free! |
(e) |
Jesus died for humanity. He died for you and me! God’s only Son died for mankind. Despite we’re not worthy! |
(f) |
He reconciles us to our God. His blood justifies us! His sacrifice reconciles us. His blood sanctifies us! |
(g) |
We’re redeemed through his holy blood. We’re washed clean in his blood! His shed blood removes mankind’s sins. Made sinless through his blood! |
(h) |
We are nailed to the cross with him. We’re crucified with Christ! We share his death; we share his rise. We live to God in Christ! |
