Behavior has consequences!

That it does. Man's behavior, since the Garden of Eden, has been corrupted by his fallen nature and we can do nothing but sin -- "for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." -- Romans 14:23

So men's behavior condemns them.

But it is Christ's behavior which saves them. Christ, who takes upon Himself the punishment rightly due His sheep and pays for every sin they will ever commit in order to present them acquitted before God.

"I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." -- 1 Corinthians 1:4-9
