"Christ died for our sins!" 1 Corinthians 15:3

Sin is God's chief enemy! God never had an enemy—until sin was conceived and brought forth. Sin is inconceivably aggravating, loathsome, and abominable in His sight. It is . . . 
a dreadful evil, 
a fearful foe,
an unmerciful tyrant, and 
a tremendous pestilence!

We are the subjects of it,
we are infected by it, and 
we were in love with it! 

In the plan of salvation—we were viewed as sinners. 
As sinners—we were chosen to salvation. 
As sinners—we were redeemed from tho curse. 
As sinners—God sent the good news of the gospel to us. 
As sinners—the Holy Spirit regenerated us, and began His good work in our hearts. 
As sinners—we are saved, and saved by grace from first to last!

Jesus Christ is our Saviour, Substitute and Surety, and as such He died for our sins, that He may . . .
blot them out as a charge against us;
justify us from them; 
cleanse us from their guilt and filth; 
make a full and sufficient atonement for them.

"Christ died for our sins!"
