It is good to know – especially when facing the next world – that every time we have failed to conform to God’s will in thought, word, and deed, by actively sinning or failing to conform to his revealed will, His Son has fulfilled the obedience that we owe. By never once giving it to the lust, pride, sloth, greed, selfishness, and malice that are so often allowed space in our overcrowded hearts, Jesus Christ becomes our Savior not only in His atoning death but throughout his life.
