Jesus paid it all

Because of our sins, we deserve death. Jesus took the punishment for all of our sins by dying on the cross. When Jesus uttered His last words on the cross, “It is finished” (John 19:30), He was letting all know that the debt had been paid in full. The Greek word translated, “it is finished”, is tetelestai, which means paid in full. Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice and glorious resurrection three days later accomplished what no human was capable of doing. Jesus washed away all our sins so that we might receive the righteousness of God. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24. Jesus rescued us so that we could be children of God. Praise be to Jesus for His amazing love and sacrifice for us!

A great hymn to sing and remember is, “Jesus Paid it All.” The lyrics have a good connection with Isaiah 1:18 and how we need to solely rely on Christ for salvation. “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18.

Jesus Paid it All

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain:
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

For nothing good have I
Where-by Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
 
And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat.
