Bible Question: Since the Book of Acts is in the New Testament, Why did Ananias and Sapphira die for their sin, if Jesus had already died and paid the price for them? |
Bible Answer: keliy: James 5:19 and 20, I believe might shed some light on death and some sins. I have no exact idea what sins the Father considers that death is better than letting the person go deeper into sin. However, by these verses it seems to me that is what is being said. Believers do get involved in sins that make them wander from the truth. Ananias and Sapphira did wander from the truth and paid with their human lives. They were spared spiritual death if they were genuine believers. Salvation is eternal, but even our Father in Heaven has a limit to our wandering from Him. I hope this adds some insight for you.
