AMPLIFIED 2015 | Leviticus 17:11 'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life [which it represents].' [Rom 3:24-26] |
Bible Question: Would someone please explain, in simple terms, why Jesus had to die in order for people to be saved? And if He took on all our sins, then why isn't He spending eternity in hell? Was it a real sacrifice, His death, if He takes on all the sins and goes to Heaven? I am very confused. Help. |
Bible Answer: God is just, therefore He cannot wink at sin. We are sinners and deserve everlasting punishment. But, thankfully God is also mercifull and had a plan by which sinners might be saved. The good news is that if we believe in Jesus Christ we will be saved(see John 3:16). Jesus is fully God. He also is fully man. As a man He did something that no man has ever done, and that is He led a sinless life. God required a perfect sacrifice to pay for our sins. That is why Jesus had to die for our sins. The Bible says that Jesus became sin on the cross and that God poured out all his wrath on Him. But Jesus was not a sinner so that is why He is not spending eternity in Hell. We must never underestimate the the great price Christ paid for our salvation. The truth is that we cannot begin to understand the agony our beloved Saviour endured in our place. I hope this has helped some. |
