Christ Died for You

"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." (Romans 5:6)

Since the days of Genesis chapter three, one indisputable fact has been well established and that is that man is a sinner.  If you have ever looked in a mirror you saw a sinner looking back at you.  Sinful man has no ability to eradicate his sin or to save himself from the consequences of sin. 

But, the debt of sin must be paid. The Bible says, "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23) Sin requires death as its payment.  It will require an eternity in hell for us to pay it. But the Bible says that in due time, or just the right time, Christ died for the ungodly.  You and I are the ungodly.  This means that Christ died for us.  He took your place and mine when He died on the cross. 

The debt has been paid.  Believe on Him. Trust what He did at the cross.  He paid the debt and now He is alive, having risen from the dead.
