PAID PRICE OF SIN
To pay the price of sin, Jesus died on the cross, and by His sacrifice became the mediator between God and Man. As such He decreed that no man may come unto the father but by Him and He prescribed the laws governing our redemption. (Samuel O. Bennion, “Baptism For the Remission of Sins,” Spring 1938, in Fundamental Principles of the Gospel, 48, emphasis in bold added)
