Happy Easter

"All debts must be paid, and some person must pay them. Sinners are not saved because God decided to ignore their sins: Christ paid for the sins of his people, and he paid in full. Those who do not have Christ as their substitute, as their savior, those whose sins are not imputed to Christ and to whom Christ's righteousness is not imputed - they must pay their own debts forever. God is a God of holiness and justice, and he can no more set aside those attributes than he can lie. So Paul invokes the principles of substitution and imputation to allow Philemon to forgive Onesimus his debts." - John Robbins, Slavery and Christianity
