God’s Merciful Answer to the Wages of Sin

Text for discussion: Leviticus 26.  

 

Israel and God had a covenant, a contract which provided penalties for a breach of contract.  God, knowing our sins and weaknesses visited His full wrath on the Son in the crucifixion that we might have full life and complete forgiveness.  Christ's work paid for it all.
