Since Jesus lived a sinless life as a
human man, He had no penalty to pay. If
you or I would have lived a sinless life,
we would have saved ourselves, but no
one else. Yet, the Bible tells us, “But you
know that he appeared so that he might
take away our sins. And in him is no
sin” 1 John 3:5.

How is it, that Jesus can take away
our sins and save all of us? This includes
everyone down through the generations
who would accept Him as their Savior.
The Answer
As the Word and a member of the
Godhead, Jesus’ life was worth more
than all of mankind’s put together. Since
He lived a perfect life without sin as a
human man, He could now step in and
take our place. As Jesus died, God
imputed all the sins of the world to Him.
He was judged for our sins.
