SIN - Week 2, Day 3
"But now he [Jesus] has appeared once for all at then end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself." Hebrews 9:26
"Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people." Hebrews 9:28
Jesus dies in our place - he stands in for us - he is the substitue...so that we do not have to take the punishment for our own sin. Another way to say this, is "substitutionary atonement." Now you have your theological saying you can use at your next small group meeting to freakout the newcomers who are already convinced that you know more then them....on second thought, go easy on them....
