God sent His own Son in the form of sinful flesh (although without sin), and the Divine judgment fell on the flesh of Christ as though it had been sinful. Christ became our sin-offering.

The Word of God, Christ, became flesh. There was no principle of sin dwelling in His flesh because He was born of God through the virgin, Mary. Christ was born without the guilt of sin and without the principle of sin dwelling in the members of His physical body.

Christ lived on this earth for thirty-three years without once committing sin.

The sinless Son of God, and Son of Man, provided God with the unblemished Passover Lamb that was needed to take away the sin of the world.

Although Christ never was guilty of one sin against the Law of Moses He was visited with the judgment and execution of sentence that must attend the soul that sins.

He was led from the city of Jerusalem, bearing on His Personality the full burden of the sins and rebellions of mankind. The sentence of death was executed. His spirit, soul, and body were cut off from the Presence of His beloved Father.

The Sinless bore the sentence of the sinful. In this manner, sin was judged in the flesh of Christ. Because of the one perfect offering, the complete atonement, the Holy Spirit can attribute the righteousness of the Law of Moses to each individual who will place his or her trust in the act of substitutionary death that was performed by Christ on the cross of Calvary.
