Why is it Vital to our Daily Lives:

• At the cross, Jesus paid the penalty (judicial) for our sin and allowed for His Righteousness to be transferred (imputation) to our account.
• God’s forgiveness extends grace to the sinner because of Christ’s work allowing God to be just and the justifier of all who believe and accept Jesus’ finished work on their behalf making them adopted Children of God.
