"For God took the sinless Christ
and poured into Him our sins.
Then, in exchange He poured
God's goodness into us!"

~ 2 Corinthians 5:21 LAB


*
Bible Commentary:  "When we trust in Christ, we make a trade---our sine for His goodness. Our sin was poured into Christ at His crucifixion. His righteousness is poured into us at our conversion. This is what Christians mean by Christ's atonement for sin. In the world, bartering works only when two people exchange goods of relatively equal value. But God offers to trade righteousness for sin----something of immeasurable worth for something worthless. How grateful we should be for His goodness to us."
