Bible Question: What would be considered the genre of Matthew 16:19 |
Bible Answer: Matthew 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." The genre of the previous verse would be one of responsibility. I would say that the salvation message of Jesus being the long awaited Messiah had just been entrusted to those hearing the message since it was revealed to Peter by the Father and confirmed by Christ Himself. Facts of binding: Eternal life is established before one dies and it’s all centered on the person of Christ. The following is a present existing condition, its bound right here and now, in this life; it’s not a future guess or wish. John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
