Subject: The ransom - God or man? |
Bible Note: God has used many persons and means to save his worshipers over the centuries, but surely He is the source of salvation. Since the Messiah had to comply with God's arrangement and submit his will to that of the Father, he can rightly be called Saviour, although he himself would give all glory to God. No one seems to appreciate how superior a human created to live forever is to us. The Scriptures state clearly that another Adam was required, another sinless perfect human. That he supplied in Jesus. The correct answer to the divine requirement for the ransom could affect one's interpretation of the deity of Christ, but one must not put the cart before the horse. |
