"For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believeth in him will not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn it, but by through Him the world might be saved." The love of Christ was so great that he gave his life on the cross for me and you. He shed his blood for me and you. "He was bitten for our transgressions and bruised for our infirmities". He died on the Cross of Calvary for the redemption of sin and that through him, we might be saved.
