 For us to be saved. He was buried. He rose from the grave. And the Bible says if you put your faith in him, you believe in him that he made that payment for you. The moment you do, the payment he made is good on your behalf. But you have to believe. You have to trust in him as your savior. Otherwise, we are condemned. The Bible says he that believeth on him is not condemned. But he that believeth not is condemned already.
