Romans 4:25 · NASB1995Peter says Christ “Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” (1 Pet. 2:24) — every sin you have ever committed or ever will commit was already in view at Calvary. Romans 4:25 ties the cross to the empty tomb: He “was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.” The blood that covers you covers completely, and the resurrection is God’s own receipt that the payment was accepted.
