thanks @bluejay for the comment. I love how Pastor John Piper puts it: A demand (be perfect) we cannot meet, and a curse (Sin) we cannot bear.. and Jesus Christ was given up for us to bear all our Sin and endure God's wrath while He hung on the cross. As a result, by putting our faith in Christ alone, we are imputed a righteousness we do not deserve and justified as if we did not sin at all. Amazing!
