NASB | Hebrews 2:17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 2:17 Therefore, it was essential that He had to be made like His brothers (mankind) in every respect, so that He might [by experience] become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things related to God, to make atonement (propitiation) for the people's sins [thereby wiping away the sin, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind]. |
Bible Question: Would someone please explain, in simple terms, why Jesus had to die in order for people to be saved? And if He took on all our sins, then why isn't He spending eternity in hell? Was it a real sacrifice, His death, if He takes on all the sins and goes to Heaven? I am very confused. Help. |
Bible Answer: Hi Chynna, Simply put, Jesus was God's sacrifice to pardon us for our sin. Imagine that, we sin and God sends his son as a sacrifice to take upon him all our sin. John 15:13. Because we're all born to sin, there was no way for man to get into heaven so Jesus came down from Heaven, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to defeat Hell and death and was triumphantly brought back to life. Hell was not strong enough to hold down Jesus. 1 Peter 1:21 Yes Chynna, it was a real sacrifice. He took on all sin, every sin we ever did and will do and we're cleansed of all that sin through the shedding of his blood when we accept him as our personal saviour. There are many verses you can look at but these are just some of them. Ephesians 1:19-23 John 3:16, Romans 3:25, Hebrews 2, John 4:10, 1 John 2:2 Hope this helps Love in Christ, Barry |
