(The Gospel)

"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, giving His life a ransom for many." (Romans 5:8)

For "We were reconciled to God through the death of His Son." who "was offered once to bear the sins of many; for the remission of sins.". For "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us." (Romans 5:10; Hebrews 9:28; 2 Corinthians 5:21)

So, "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.", "We...were eyewitnesses."
