THE GOSPEL EPIC:

1
THE GOSPEL EPIC CHRIST DIED FOR OUR
SINS Isaiah 534 - 6
2
Christ took, carried, and bore all our sins
himself for the purpose of our redemption and
reconciliation with God. He took upon himself the
suffering which we should have had to bear. He
took the consequences of our sin and bore them in
our place. He took our judgment.
3
God imputed the guilt of our sins to Christ, and
he, in our place, bore the punishment that we
deserve. This was a full payment for sins, which
satisfied both the wrath and the righteousness of
God, so that He could forgive sinners without
compromising His own holy standard

stripes heal you. We are all like stupid sheep,

on Christ the iniquity of us all. Believe it and
entrust your guilt to him
