Welcome to this weekend's In-Touch Podcast with Charles Stanley.

If you've trusted Jesus as your Savior, then your past, present, and future sin have been forgiven.

The series continues with today's encouraging message from the cross.

If God the Father placed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, all the sin of humanity.

Now think about that. All the sin of humanity placed upon Jesus.

He put all the punishment upon Him.

Would you not agree that if He placed all the sin of all mankind upon Jesus,

then He intended to offer forgiveness to all men. Amen?

And if He offered forgiveness to all men, would not all men then be able,

or free to receive or reject that, amen?

Therefore, if a man rejects the offer of salvation, he cannot hold God responsible for his rejection.

When we reject the Lord Jesus Christ, we reject salvation. We reject forgiveness.

But when I receive the Lord Jesus Christ, this is my Savior.

What have I done, but I have accepted His forgiveness, that is He's dealing with my sin.

So I think for a moment, two thousand years ago, what did He do?

He took care of your sin before you were ever born. Now watch this now.

Therefore, God cannot punish you for sin, because He has already punished Him.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God's children are punished for their sin.

Punishment is for unbelievers. Punishment is God's justice being rolled out in the life of the person.

For example, let's say that you were guilty of a crime.

And so your father steps up beside you and says,

Judge, I know my son's guilty. He knows he's guilty. Everybody knows he's guilty.
