God’s Calvary

Leads to life Leads to death
1 Peter 2:24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and
live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
Psalm 32:3-5When I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy
upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my
sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD" — and you forgave the guilt of
my sin.
Proverbs 3:7-8Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health
to your body and nourishment to your bones.
