Bible Question:
Does Luke 23:34 mean the sins of those people who crucified Jesus were forgiven? God bless Ngop |
Bible Answer: Hi, Ngop! In order to understand one passage of the Bible we must place it in context with the entire Bible. Ezekiel 18:31-32 tells us what God (the Father) trully wants. His Plan for Salvation is all encompassing! The Word (Verb) reason for encarnating as Jesus Christ is to carry forth this Plan: John 6:40 and Jonh 10:10. Now, does this mean that we all have carte blance, as some erroneous interpretations of the passage that guarantees that those who are in the spirit are above the law desire to interpret? The condition is set for our salvation: repent and return to God: Is 1:18-19. All are inclusive in God's Salvation--even all of those involved in our Lord's crucifixion. The question is: from Judas to the guards posted at the tomb, did any of them opened their hearts, minds and spirit to the Father's calling! These were fortunate to have Jesus Christ Himself appeal to the Father's forviness--did they repent, did they humbly return to God? |
