“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God …” KJ 1 Peter 3:18
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, - ESV 1 Peter 3:18
Sinner, be aware that it was your place to die for your sin!
Christ, being obedient to God the Father, willingly took your place on the cross to die for your sin.
Do you understand this great mercy?
The wrath of God for sin must be satisfied!
There is a penalty to be paid!
There is a debt that is owed to God by man that man can't satisfy!
This debt was paid in full on the Cross by Christ because He alone was worthy and acceptable as payment!!!
You have been justified by Christ!
23 But the words "it was counted to him" were not written for his sake alone,
24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. - Romans 4:23-25

24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,
26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,
28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. - Hebrews 9:24-28
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. - Romans 5:2
he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, - Colossians 1:22
For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God. - 2 Corinthians 13:4
