The penalty has to be paid
There’s a great principle that runs all the way through the Word of God, and it is, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.” In other words, God cannot arbitrarily or big-heartedly shut His eyes to sin and do nothing about it any more than a judge when there is brought before him one guilty, the judge should apply the law and the penalty should be paid. The important thing is that in God’s universe, why law is inexorable. “And the soul that sinneth, it must die.” Therefore, life must be given up for me, a sinner. You see, the death sentence is on all of us. Now if you will accept Christ by faith, you’ll be saved.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
