| I have, on more than one occasion, visited inmates on Death Row. It is very solemn to talk with those who are condemned to die for their crime against society, usually those who have committed murder or murders. These prisoners are staring eternity in the face. However, the wonderful truth is that, while God requires “life for life” (Exodus 21:23), yet there is full pardon and forgiveness from that same God, through the death of Christ on the cross of Calvary and the blood He shed, of which blood we read, “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). And also, “In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14). |
