Quote★★★★

Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. “With His stripes we are healed.”

Ellen G. White, Desire of Ages, 25.

The point

Christ took the punishment sinners deserved so believers could receive the righteousness that is His.
