We were once his children, children of darkness, children of disobedience, children of sin and wickedness. But since we have longed for a better life, have chosen to escape from the hard taskmaster that the Devil is, and have fled to Jesus Christ, then Christ has given us new clothing, God has accepted us as His children, and has given us shining armor with which to fight off the Devil in his desperate efforts to try and get us back into his service of evil.
Mfumo huu wote wa kafara na taratibu za ibada ulikuwa umeanzishwa na kusimikwa juu ya Kristo. Hata ukuhani, ambao uliweka damu iliyomwagika ya mwanakondoo kwenye madhabahu kufanya upatanisho kwa dhambi iliyotubiwa, ulimwakilisha Kristo. Hivyo, wakati mtu yeyote angeshangaa ni kwa nini kiumbe kisicho na hatia, bila waa lolote [kikiwa kikamilifu] kilipaswa kutolewa kafara na damu yake kumwagika ili kufanya upatanisho wa dhambi, mawazo yao yangeelekezwa tu kwa Yesu!
