Subject: Jesus cast into hell?? |
Bible Note: Jesus paid the redemptive price for our sins while he was hanging on the cross. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The word finished or TELEO in the Koine Greek, was a term that originated in the slave market when the price of a slave was totally paid for and the transaction was completed. Jesus paid the debt that was due for man’s sin and that was the price require by a Holy God. In the past, one could more or less say that since God must remain Holy that there was a problem. The problem being because God loves man so much. God couldn’t just excuse sin because that would interfere with God’s Holiness, which is made up of His righteousness and justice. What the righteousness of God demands, the justice of God must execute. i.e. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Man has sinned so man had to pay the price for sin God's righteousness shows up in Romans. Romans 6:23 (A) For the wages of sin is death; The problem is, for man to pay the price God demanded means that man would have to be separated from God and God loves man. So the love of God came up with a plan so that man could pay the price yet spend eternity with God. The members of the Godhead virtually said that one of them would become a man and pay the price for sin that way it won’t have to jeopardize God’s character and man will be able to spend eternity with God. So as a result the second person of the trinity, decided to came down to earth and become a man to pay a debt he didn’t owe, because he had no sin, yet man had a debt that he couldn’t pay, and still spend eternity with God. I would say that this is the best deal in whole world. Our sins were imputed to Christ on the cross and when we trust in the work that Jesus did on the cross for us the very righteousness of God is imputed to us, making us fit for a habitaion with God. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. This all being the fact is why we have the statement that Jesus made in John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. I hope this explanation clears up some of your confusion a little, CDBJ |
