God devised a plan that placed the death penalty for sin upon the only person in the universe who could take man's place.

God Himself, The Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 2:9; John 1:1; 14)

Though Jesus didn't deserve it, He suffered and died on the cross (see "Passon") in our place, providing the only way for mankind to have eternal life and go to heaven. (John 17:3, 11 Cor. 5:21; John 14:6)

Christ's death and resurrection enables us to be forgiven for our sins and gives us the power to no longer be controlled by sin. (1 John 3:8; John 1:12).
