Yes, Jesus died, "the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." Justice demanded the sinner's life, and Jesus took a life like the sinner's yet without sin, that He might lay it down in his stead. Jesus, as God and man, died for sinners; died in the stead of sinners; died, that sinners might never die.
Sinners still deserve to die; but they need not. They deserve to go to hell; but if they come to Jesus, God will never send them there. O the love of Jesus! to give His life for our life, and to die on the accursed tree, "that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
Reader, do you see that you are a sinner? Do you feel that you are a sinner? If so, Jesus died for you. He is now inviting you to come to Him and receive eternal life. It is impossible for Him to refuse to receive and save you. Do you think He would die for you, call you to come to Him, and then refuse to save you? It is impossible.
"He hath made Him to be sin for us, He Who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5:2121For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21).
