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: How do we preach the Gospel? |
Bible Note: Dear Hank, Comparing scripture with scripture. Eph 2:1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, That is the condition of all men prior to belief in Christ. If they continue in this condition they will die spiritual corpses, and their condemnation will be realized in fact. The only way I am wrong is if men are not condemned in Adam. 1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. If that's spin, unspin it for me please. What is your understanding of the condition of men prior to faith in Christ? John |
