MY GOD BLED FOR MY SINS ON CALVARY'S CROSS,
SO THAT I COULD BE SAVED *FREELY* BY HIS GRACE AND LIVE FOREVER WITH HIM IN HEAVEN’S GLORY.
Sin is man's greatest problem. Man is born in sin, and sins against God habitually and intentionally. Sin is on your soul, divine justice pursues you and demands eternal death as the only just judgment. There is nothing worthy in man to help save him. Eternal life is provided by God apart from man. Man cannot provide anything that will satisfy the holiness of God. Salvation is now provided freely to sinners by the grace of God through faith in Jesus' Precious Blood, apart from human works or merits. Life eternal is possessed only as a gift apart from works. God's plan for sinners is this: Life instead of death, Christ instead of me, Trust instead of try, Now instead of later. Only the Blood of God can make your sins disappear, so that God will never see them again.
Justification brings about a radical and instantaneous change of status and nature for the lost sinner. We suppress the truth of God by a lie. We worship created things rather than the Creator. We have sinned and are justifiably guilty before God. No one can be declared righteous as a result of their own endeavors. Therefore, we are entirely in need for Someone (Christ Jesus) to do on our behalf, what we are unable to do for ourselves. The work of Justification in the soul of a sinner is 100% by free grace. Salvation is given to us freely, because on Calvary's Cross the wrath of God against sinners was poured out upon Jesus. Christ bore the punishment that our sins deserved, so we can go free. Believe on Christ; that is, place yourself, your whole weight, your very life on what Christ did for sinners. Recognize yourself to be dead, condemned, guilty, and lost, and trust to Jesus Christ's Precious Blood by simple faith.
You know the story: Man had sinned against God, and God the Just One must punish sin. So God in heavenly pity and compassion devised the perfect plan so that His divine justice could be satisfied and His free mercy could be shown to every guilty sinner. Jesus left Eternity and entered into time, so He could be punished in your place for your sins; this is Substitution. God became a man, so He die, forever paying the price of your sins, and then rising from the dead, so He could offer to you His salvation freely. The innocent, sinless Son of God suffered instead of us.
Jesus was God, but He became a man to bleed, to be spit upon, to be scourged, to be crucified. He was born of a Jewish virgin, laid in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes. God was born into the world, the Beginning and the End became a baby, God became flesh, He was despised and rejected of men from His birth to His death. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He gave His back to the smiters, and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. He died the death of a common criminal - He bled especially for our rotten sins.

He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He gave His back to the smiters, and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. He died the death of a common criminal - He bled especially for our rotten sins.
In Gethsemane, He prayed and was covered with a bloody sweat, a sweat caused by the heavy weight your sins and mine. Judas Iscariot betrayed Him with a kiss. He was arrested, bound, and led away. He was taken from His knees in Gethsemane away to Gabbatha's judgment hall. He was patient before Caiaphas, Annas, Herod, and Pilate. There He was tried and condemned, His back was scourged, His head was crowned with thorns, His cheeks were yielded to those that plucked off the hair, the spit of the Roman soldiers covered His face, His wounds were all bleeding, the scourge tore His nerves and sinews.
The Lord of Glory Himself was mocked and scorned; He was the object of ridicule, the jeer of sarcasm, the butt of scorn. He was covered with the cloak of some common soldier. His back was covered with blood and wounds from Pilate's scourge. His death sentence was pronounced by Pilate, and He was hurried and hounded through the streets of Jerusalem without the gate to Calvary's hill. He bore the heavy cross up Golgotha, the soldiers flung Him down on His back, they stretched out His hands and feet to the wood, and drove the cruel nails through His flesh. He was lifted up high in mid-air between heaven and earth. The Cross was dashed into its place, His bones were dislocated. JEHOVAH'S wrath was poured out on Him, wave after wave, He meekly bows His head to it all. God's sword of divine justice is driven into His heart, for your sakes and mine.
Jesus also suffered within, sin and hell filled His heart, soul, and mind. God the Father forsook Him, the thunderbolts and hailstones of wrath and vengeance fell upon Him. The Father hid His face from Him till He cried in agony, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me!" And so, He suffered on, and on, and on for hours, till at the last He cried, "It is finished!" And then He gives up the ghost. God spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all.
By Jesus' sin-atoning death and most precious blood, He redeems sinners by tasting death for every man. Then, they take down His mangled corpse from the Cross. They bury Him in a borrowed, cold, dark tomb. Then on the third day, Sunday morning, the mighty Savior unwinds His grave clothes, an angel comes from Heaven and rolls away the stone, and He rises victoriously from death and the grave. He showed Himself to His disciples for forty days, He then took them out to the Mount of Olives, blessed them, and ascended into Heaven. He ascended to the throne of God, His work was accomplished and accepted, He sits down at the right hand of God.
The “Good News", put simply into a few words, is just this, “that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Jesus was punished for my sins, by His stripes my guilty soul has been healed. God now loves me with an unfailing love for Jesus' sake.
Here's how your sins can disappear. God the Father devised the marvelous plan of salvation by the transference of sin from the sinner to Christ, and by the punishment of Christ the Substitute, instead of us. God punished Jesus instead of us. Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and to save lost sinners. God smote Christ instead of us. God took our sins and charged them to Jesus and punished Him instead of punishing us. Jesus took all the blame and penalty for my crimes against God. Christ is the Great Substitute for human sin. If you trust Christ alone, you shall live eternally. Oh, what a blessing is this: this is the way worthy of God - Jesus died instead of us. Jesus suffered the death-penalty on our behalf; our trust in Him makes His sacrifice to be ours. The very moment you trust Christ, you are released from all fear and every dread of death.
God's wrath was poured out on the Lamb of God and passes over us. God's wrath passes upon the Lamb of God instead of us. Christ is sacrificed, His life is taken, for He gave Himself for us, His sinless life and innocent Blood, His very soul was yielded up for us. The Gospel is Substitution. Christ is sacrificed instead of us. Our blind eyes see ourselves lost, we see Christ bleeding instead of us, we trust our soul with Him, our sins disappear, we are accepted in the Beloved. The blood of Christ means, "Someone else died instead of us."
Christ died the Just for the unjust to bring us to God. He was made a Curse for us. The fire of God consumed Him - the fire of Jehovah's wrath spent itself on Him, now we shall not die. Christ has suffered instead of us. The wrath of Almighty God rolled over Him instead of us. Christ was willing to shed His own blood, to pour out His soul unto death, that we might be saved by grace freely. You are justified through Christ from every sin. You are clean and clear in you trust only in Him. He suffered divine wrath on account of our sins, wrath most just and true, for God cannot bear to dwell with sin. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12).

God became a Jewish man that He might bear man's sin and suffer what was due for human sin, and now whosoever trusts in Jesus Christ, the Substitute for sinners, shall be saved from divine justice and the love of sin. If you rely simply and entirely upon Him, your soul shall live eternally. That is the Gospel. You must enter heaven through this strait gate.
Jesus came from Heaven to suffer and die in our place, He was the Victim of the divine vengeance we deserved, His griefs and sorrows rescued us from destruction. His bloody death is our Ransom from Satan's prison house. Jesus bled to death to rescue the souls of men. The claims of divine justice were met by the atoning death of the Redeemer. Jesus actually suffered to vindicate divine justice by enduring instead of us the punishment due to our sins. God can now punish Christ instead of us, and be just, and, by finding a Substitute, provide a pardon of mercy to guilty sinners. The Judge of all the earth, the Author of the Law, must vindicate His own Law. In order to do this, every transgression must receive its recompense, as the sin, so the penalty.
Sin must be punished. You have enjoyed the sweets of sin, now you must endure the bitter wrath sin brings in the end, or else you must have a Substitute to take the vengeance and wrath for you. God's vengeance pursues your sins. Sin demands judgment and damnation. God's holiness will by no means spare the guilty. Cursed is every soul that has broken the Law of God. Christ suffered in your place. The Son of God went to Calvary's Cross in your place. The nails pierced Him, the Cross lifted Him up, the soldiers bruised Him, death smote Him, in Gethsemane and on Calvary rest your weary eyes, there God teaches us that He must punish sin.

God the Father dreadfully punished Christ at Calvary: Hear the groans that come from His heart, hear His death shrieks and awful cries, God was just at the Cross, He punished Christ in your place. God poured His cup of wrath and emptied it upon Christ instead of us. Christ died for sinners. Jesus stood as the Substitute for guilty rebels. God gave His Son to bleed instead of us. Heaven's darling, Jesus Christ, bleeds that earth's rebels may go free. God has punished the Savior instead of you, by His own blood you are made free from sin's death sentence.
God, the infinitely Just One, has poured out His wrath upon Christ instead of us, we are accepted in the Beloved, because of Jesus' merits, we live because Jesus lives. God cannot punish two people for the same sins. God will not smite Jesus, and smite you too - that would be unjust. Christ suffered instead of you. The Innocent One died for the guilty, the Lord of glory bore the sins of rebellious men. Christ paid your whole penalty, Christ endure the wrath of God in full for you, absolved you from sin, delivered you from the curse of the law, robed you in His righteousness, washed you in His own blood. My only boasting is in His Wounds, Blood, and Cross.

God finds us breaking His Law, but He says to us, "I will forgive you, I will not punish you, I have punished Christ instead of you, you shall be saved if you trust My Son. I will give you a new heart and subdue your evil habits. Christ was punished for your sins, you can never be punished for them. Christ died instead of you, believe on Him, put all your trust on His Blood, and you are saved now and to all Eternity."
Christ was bound by the law, scourged by the law, crucified by the law, buried by the law, now Jesus says to you that trust in Him, "Go your way, the Law cannot touch you, it has smitten Me instead of you. I was your Substitute, you may go free. Look and live, look to Jesus now, He bleeds in the Garden, He dies on the cruel Cross. Trust Him, Trust what He suffered instead of yourself, when you trust Him with your sins and your soul, you are saved by Grace, that is it. God says, "I forgive you for Jesus' sake, I freely pardon you, for Jesus died instead of you. Jesus took your guilt upon Himself and was punished because of your sins. Trust Him, Christ was the sinner's Substitute, He took the sinner's guilt, now God can be just in punishing Christ instead of you, you can now go free through the blood of His Dear Son.
You will either be cursed of God, because of your sins against His law, or else you must receive Christ - He bore the Curse and Wrath instead of you. God became a man so that He could suffer instead of you what was due from God on account of your sins. God has laid my iniquities on Christ, He was punished instead of me, there is no possibility I can be punished now, for it is unjust to execute the penalty twice for the same offenses. Jesus was forsaken, and now I am forgiven; He was condemned, and now I am accepted. God cannot smite me, He has smitten Christ instead of me. My debts have been paid in full, and can never be demanded of me again. Eternal Divine Justice can no longer charge me with my sins which were, once for all, charged to my Substitute and Surety.

Look up to the Cross now, and trust Christ to save you. JEHOVAH JESUS still saves poor, wretched sinners that deserve hell fire. I beseech you in Christ's stead, flee from the wrath to come, close with the Blood of Jesus now. Give earnest and solemn heed to there eternal facts, you are passing on to Eternity, rejecting Christ, your portion shall the Lake of Fire, with not a drop of water to cool your parched tongue, and you will dwell in the blackness of darkness forever, without a ray of light or hope. Christ receives poor, lost sinners still. Come as a poor, guilty sinner with nothing to trust of your own. Believe in Christ now, trust Him alone. Believe only in His precious name, take shelter beneath the Cross.
The moment you trust Jesus Christ's atoning blood, you are free from your guilt, adopted into the family of God, accepted in the Beloved forever and ever. Cast your soul on Jesus right now. Come and rest on Him alone, are you are surely saved. Thy sins, which are many, will be all forgiven, the moment you call upon His name. My sins were laid on Christ, they cannot be in two places at one time, consequently, my sins cannot be put back on me after I trust in Jesus. My sins were put on His bleeding back, my sins are gone, there is not one left in the Book of God against me. I am eternally and perfectly clear and absolved in God's sight. If you come and rest in Christ Jesus alone, He has paid all your debts, you are out of debt completely, you are free forever.
