102. Where alone can we sinners find rescue from the condemnation of God?
Because of God's merciful kindness, He sent His only-begotten Son, Jesus, to rescue us from our sin and the condemnation we deserved. As our substitute, Jesus kept God's holy Law perfectly, suffered, died, and rose again for us. Therefore, in our crucified and risen Lord Jesus, we are freed from the guilt, the punishment, and the power of sin, and we are saved eternally.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in HIm should not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's [Adam's] disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's [Jesus'] obedience the many will be made righteous.
Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from teh curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree."
