Bible Question: Shaka, braddah! I got the 'understand death' part, but I'm not sure what you mean about the 'experience Hell' part? Again, 'separation' from His identity? Please elaborate. In Jesus. |
Bible Answer: The only way Christ could pay the price for our sins was to actually experience the pain of separation from God. At the moment of His crucifixion, He took upon Himself all of the sins of man. Though God was with Him -- just as God is always with us -- Christ experienced the crucifixion and death as a man. He "descended into Hell" and rose again on the third day. Salvation comes to men not by their own works, but by accepting the payment Christ made for our sins (John 3:16-17, Romans 3:23). |
