#STRaskStand to Reason

Questions about whether the victims of a murderer who later accepts Christ will never receive justice for their suffering and whether or not it can be said a person is “forgiven” if the debt was fully paid by another.

* If a murderer accepts Christ, then doesn’t that mean his victims will never receive justice for their suffering?

* If Christ paid the price for our sin, then how can it be said we’re “forgiven” since the debt has been fully paid by another and the obligation has been fulfilled?
