What does the Bible say about the punishment of sin?

The punishment of sin is a significant theme in the Bible, underscoring God's justice. The sermon explains that Christ bore our sins and that His sacrifice was necessary to satisfy divine justice. It emphasizes that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin (Hebrews 9:22). Christ's death was not just a token act; it was required for true redemption to occur. For the elect, this means their sins are completely and eternally removed through Christ's atoning work, illustrating both the severity of sin and the magnitude of God's grace in salvation.
