"For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality." - Colossians 3:25

Did Christ pay for your sins or not?

When Christ carried His cross were your sins nailed to it or not? Does Christ "receive the consequences" of our sins?

Yes, but you cannot be a passive receiver of the gift of salvation. In Matthew it is shown that God expects us to actively cooperate in our salvation. Grace is a free gift from God, but you must utilize it in the way God wishes us to.

God will ask, "I gave you the gift of grace, did you use it to follow my commandments?"

God will not reward those who take his gift of salvation and sit on it instead of using it.
