Jesus paid our debt
“I did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give My life

Jesus Christ, the Righteous One
… is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not only for ours but also for the sins
of the whole world.
Confess, believe, accept Jesus to be forgiven
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive
ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.
“Christ died for sins once for all, the just
for the unjust, to bring us to God”
