Subject: did Jesus die for our sins or sickness |
Bible Note: Hello atdcross, You suggested the following in your post, “The "wages of sin is death" and no one can avoid it” The fact is, the wages of sin isn’t physical death at all but spiritual death i.e. separation from God. This death can be avoid by all who will simply trust in the work that God did in the person of His Son, Jesus the Christ. Have you ever considered that Christ actually died twice while on the cross, spiritual death and physical death? Jesus paid the price of spiritual death, which is separation from God, Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? After paying the price, that a Holy God demanded, for our sin, Jesus said the following “TETELESTAI”, it is finished; the wages for sin are paid in full. The word TETELESTAI, in the original Koine Greek, is in the indicative mood, perfect tense, passive voice, third person singular. In actuality, it was a reality, and Christ completed the action with results that will go on into the future. He alone received the wrath of God on our behalf. 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. How’s that for a great deal! Jesus took what we deserve and when we trust in Jesus God gives us His very own righteousness that is in Christ. The issue now between God and Man isn’t our sin but the Saviour. God poured out His wrath for our sin on the person of His Son Jesus. The only sin that Jesus didn’t die for was rejecting Jesus as our substitute for sin. i.e. our Saviour. John 16:7-9 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [9] Of sin, because they believe not on me; After Jesus had finished his work on the cross He then bowed His head and willingly released the spark of life from His body, because His work on the cross was complete. John 19:30 (B) he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. We can be born twice and die once, because Jesus was born once and died twice. Have a great day, CDBJ |
