The prophet Isaiah said it so beautifully, hundreds of years before Jesus’ death: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). What a message!
We sinned. He died.
We deserved the punishment. He took it on Himself.
That is the meaning of the cross.
As expressed by Peter, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness; you have been healed by His wounds. . . . For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring you to God” (1 Peter 2:24; 3:18a).
Or in the words of Paul, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:9).
The perfectly righteous one died for the totally unrighteous ones, taking our place on the cross. And did it all because of love.

No one should believe in a partial savior.
Jesus is the 100% Savior who paid for all sin, past present and future of those who believe in Him!!
John 5:24
No one else can save or forgive you of your sins except for Christ.
And soon he's coming back for we who belong to Him!
Hallelujah!
