AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 3:18 For indeed Christ died for sins once for all, the Just and Righteous for the unjust and unrighteous [the Innocent for the guilty] so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit; |
Bible Question:
Dear fellow believers: This verse causes me to praise God "For Christ [the Messiah Himself] died for sins once for all, the Righteous for the unrighteous (the Just for the unjust, the Innocent for the guilty), that He might bring us to God. In His human body He was put to death, but He was made alive in the spirit," (1Peter 3:18) Substitution! To think that he Son of God was willing to take my place in the cross and to bear in his own body our sins is a truth beyond comprehension. He was the one who was without sin, who knew no sin and did no sin; and yet made sin for us that we might be the rigtheousness of God through him "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." (2 Cor. 5:21) Imagine, lost guilty, hell bound sinners, clothed in his righteousness for all eternity. Why should we not praise him for he is worthy? Robert |
Bible Answer: Greetings Robert! Yes, my Brother in Christ, we shall praise Him! "For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself." Hebrews 7:26-27 NKJV He is most definitely worthy of honor, of glory and of unending praise!! Blessings to you, Makarios |
