WHEf CHRIST DIED? , BY , What really happened when Jesus Christ --aS died? For anyone who is willing to take ■ XIyUS the Bible’s word for it, the answer to that question is simple. NR ■■ When Christ died, the sins of every member of the human race —past, present, and future —were canceled. Christ, the God-Man, died as all men's Substitute. That Is the clear Bible teaching. By paying the hell penalty "for the sins of the whole world" Christ blotted out all the charges that stood against us in the book of heaven. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ," the Bible says. “Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?” • Perhaps clearest of all, the Bible puts it this way: "God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing (not charging) their trespasses unto them. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." The Bible leaves no doubt about the purpose of Christ’s death. He paid the price for the sins of all mankind. Have you found Christ to be your personal Savior?
