Thought for Today: “Jesus Paid the Price”

Under American law, there’s what’s known as the law of double jeopardy. This law states that a person cannot be tired, convicted, or punished for the same crime twice.

This is right out of God’s word, because when we come to belief in Jesus as our Savior and Lord we cannot be tried for our sins, because Jesus already paid the penalty price for us.

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:1-2)

So, in Christ we no longer need to worry about paying for our sins, which the Bible says is death, but rather we can have the freedom and assurance that our sins have been paid for, and our debt erased.

Can we just say, “Hallelujah,” for the wonderful mercy of God.
