NASB | 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. |
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. |
Bible Question (short): Why exclude the ressurrection of Christ? |
Question (full): Thank you Reformer Joe! Why would Paul assert that belief in the ressurrection is important? (See also 1 Cor 15)How come this seems to be excluded from the posted formula for salvation? (I don't mean to stir the pot, but this kind of bothers me.)Since Paul attaches sigificance to believing that "God has raised Him from the dead" in the plan of salvation, could it be that it is important to know not only WHO you believe in but also WHAT you believe about Him? Also, it would be good to clarify what the difference is between Jesus as Lord and Jesus as Lord of one's life. Refer to Matthew 7:21-23 and James 2:19 Even the demons know Jesus is Lord and tremble! This is an awesome truth! Blessings in Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith! Momma |
