“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.”
God will never overlook sin. He cannot. God is holy, and by His holiness He has sworn that sin will be punished. If God were to let one half of one sin go unpunished, God would no longer be holy. The chief attribute of God is not love — it is holiness. The cross is God’s way to punish sin and forgive the sinner at the same time. “He who knew no sin,” God was made to be a sin offering for us. On the Cross there was a divine transfer. Our Heavenly Fathered transferred our sins on Jesus and judged Him for our trespasses and transgressions. Jesus paid for all the sin of all of the people for all time. This truth must be embraced by faith to become real in the life of the believing sinner. Remember friend, at the Cross the Father gave Jesus our sins and gave us His righteousness
