AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, |
Bible Question: What did Jesus give up for us? Someone told me he gave up his life. Did he give up his life or three days of his life? |
Bible Answer: The Atonement of Christ is difficult for many to understand. We often speak of the cross; yet, thousands died on the cross. It was the Roman's way of executing criminals. So; what was special about Jesus' death on the cross? As the Son of God, Christ did not have to experience pain, suffering, or even death. It was completely voluntary! We too often associate the immense physical pain of Christ's passion with the Atonement for our sins. I feel that it was the unimaginable act of taking on the sins of every single human who ever lived and who ever will live in one moment which was the ultimate agony. Could one even imagine the spiritual and emotional distress of such an act? When Christ was in Gethsemane, he wasn't fearful of death. He was tormented by the fact that he was about to take on this awful burden. That is what Christ gave up.. completely on his own accord! If Jesus had decided not to die, we would have no chance at redemption. |
