You may ask why did God send His only Son to die for us upon the Cross while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8). The prophet Isaiah said in the verse above that our iniquities, sins, made a separation between us and our God. God is Righteous (Psalm 11:7), and he cannot tolerate sin and evil (Proverbs 6: 16-19).
God sent His only beloved Son, Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but inherit eternal life John 3:16. Where sin separates us from God. The redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross was to pay our sin debt and to reconnect those who believe on Him the living God. To reverse the fall of man. To make those who believe on Jesus Christ forgiven of their sins in justification and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, in repentance and baptism, lead those believers to sanctification and the righteousness of God.
So that where Romans 3:10 says "There is none righteous, not even one." Where Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned all fall short of the Glory of God." Where Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death but the freely given gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." Then when realise the truth of Isaiah 53 verse 6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." And, with our eyes wide open to our sins we fall to our knees and cry out to our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins and the salvation of our souls. That we might washed clean with His blood in sacrifice for our sins with garments washed in the blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua.
Listen my friends. Repent for Jesus is coming soon.
