Christ, on the cross, took our debt upon Himself. All of it, for everyone. He took OUR wages of death so we don’t have to.
“But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him...” Is 53:5
“and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” 1 Pet 2:24
“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf...” 2 Cor 5:21
This concept is all over in the New Testament. These are just a few examples to show the concept that Jesus took our sin.
