AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:2 And He [that same Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins [the atoning sacrifice that holds back the wrath of God that would otherwise be directed at us because of our sinful nature--our worldliness, our lifestyle]; and not for ours alone, but also for [the sins of all believers throughout] the whole world. |
Subject: The Substitute! |
Bible Note: The Substitute ******************************* God's righteous wrath against the sinfulness of humanity is appeased by the sacrifice of His one and only Son! Jesus Christ, the Son, has taken our place by accepting the penalty for our sins (Isaiah 53:6), and by enduring public disgrace in the process, even though He Himself was completely without sin! The forgiveness of sins through Christ's atoning sacrifice is not limited to one particular group, and the invitation of Christ is open to all! (Rev. 22:17) Christ's atoning sacrifice has worldwide application (John 1:29, Hebrews 2:9, 2 Cor. 5:14-15,19), but it is only efficient for those who believe in Christ! You have to believe that Jesus is Lord, repent of your sins, and confess Him as Lord of your life, and you will be saved! - Makarios (A Continuing Study through 1 John by Makarios) |
