My Journey to Life, Step 2—Our Savior

6. What does it mean that our Savior “bore our sins and became our substitute?”

Driven by great love, Jesus offered substitutionary atonement for our sins. He who had no sin laid down His life in our place, for all of us have sinned. This sacrifice at the cross of Calvary was why Jesus left a heaven of peace, light and love, to come to a planet where rebellion, darkness and hate reign supreme. “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all!” Isaac Watts, When I Survey the Wonderous Cross, SDAH #154 JTL2 3.4
