Jesus as our substitute is such a heavy doctrine.

We must believe in it.

There is absolutely nothing good in us. Jesus took our sins and was slaughtered by God for them. We deserved it. Jesus took it. He is our substitute. In exchange, we got His righteousness.

Do you believe this? If you don’t, you are not saved. There is no way. Your sins havent been dealth with.

Trip Lee says “he doesn’t love me because of me, no He loves me because of Him.”

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For our sake he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

1 Peter 3:18 “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.”

Do you ever use the word “substitute” when speaking of your Lord or your faith?  Please begin to. Be a light to the world that you do not count your life as having any value except in Christ.

The doctrine of substitution places all of the emphasis on Jesus and NONE of it on you. Thats glorious!
