Day 3: God Paid Our Debt
Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:21
“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Because of sin, humanity owed an infinite debt to God. No human effort could ever repay it. But through the Incarnation, Jesus lived a perfect life and took on our sin. On the cross, He became the ultimate sacrifice, fully paying the price we could not. Now, we are made righteous through Him.
Reflection:
- How does the reality of Jesus paying your debt change the way you live?
- What area of your life can you surrender to His saving grace?
Prayer Prompt:
Thank Jesus for taking your sin and offering you His righteousness. Ask Him to help you live in the freedom of His grace.
Memory Verse: Romans 3:23—for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
