I Peter 2: 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. ****************************************
Evaluating Bible verses in their context is an important element in studying God's Word.
This passage in I Peter sounds a lot like Isaiah 53, if you read the verses around it, too. If you read the verses before it in I Peter chapter 2, you find Peter is telling them to follow Christ's example of suffering as a way to live righteously.
Christ died for our sins to give us eternal life. He also died for our sins so we can learn to walk in righteous on a daily basis as a Christian.
