Imagine being sentenced to death and at the last minute receiving a presidential pardon? How would you feel about not experiencing this punishment? In the same way, the penalty for all unbelievers’ sin is both physical and spiritual death. Thank God that Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection paved the way for our pardon from the penalty of sin.
