The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:15 that God will call our past into account. God’s standards are high and demand that our past sins be accounted for, settled, and paid for according to His righteousness. There are many in today’s society that are able to evade detection for their crimes and live many years as perfect citizens under the radar, undetected by the criminal justice system. But under the law, they are still criminals, and sooner or later they are discovered and their crimes are called into account and they are punished. We all are criminals guilty of sin in God’s sight, deserving of punishment for our crimes. We cannot simply “turn over a new leaf” without being held accountable for our sins. So what are we to do? The answer is found at the foot of the cross where a loving Savior became incarnate flesh and gave His life for us, so that in turn He would be held accountable for our sins that we might be presented before God holy and blameless. He died to save us from the penalty of sin, and He lives to deliver us from the bondage of sin. In Christ we are no longer condemned by our past sin, but made righteous by the precious blood shed at Calvary.
