| Summary: | The words of the old Gospel hymn give us a succinct statement of the theory of Substitutionary Atonement.

Because Jesus bore my punishment I do not have to bear it; because he paid my debt I do not have to pay it; because he died the criminal's death which I deserved I do not have to die it. |
