What does it mean that God does not deal with His people according to their sins?
Answered in 1 source
God’s mercy means He does not punish believers for their sins in the same way, as Christ bore their punishment.
God’s promise not to deal with His people according to their sins speaks volumes regarding His grace and mercy. In Psalm 103:10, it is declared that He 'hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.' Instead, Christ took upon Himself the punishment for our sins on the cross, allowing believers to stand justified before God. This realization brings comfort and assurance, knowing that while we may face affliction due to sin’s consequences, we will never face its ultimate punishment because of Christ’s atoning sacrifice on our behalf, a truth crucial for a believer’s heart.
