Christ applies redemption as well!

[brightfame52]

Did Jesus Christ die for the sin of unbelief ?

The answer to that question is a most definitely Yes, if He died for you at all, for He did not die for every human being without exception ! Now from the outset it can proven that Christ died for the sin of unbelief because those He died for are by His death alone, reconciled to God, put into His Favor, even while they are enemies/unbelievers Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Now, if Christ did not die for their unbelief, how could they have been reconciled to God even while being enemies and unbelievers in their minds, while others in the same condition of being enemies and unbelievers are #1 Condemned already Jn 3:18

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

#2 are having the wrath of God abiding on them Jn 3:36

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Now why the difference ? One group of enemies are reconciled to God, the other group of enemies are not, and are under condemnation and Gods Wrath ?

What made the difference ? It could not have been faith or believing in the Son, So the only rational, reasonable, and valid explanation for the difference is the Death of Christ for the One Group Rom 5:10 and not the other Jn 3:18,36 !

Thats because Christ's death pays for the sin of unbelief, otherwise those enemies could not have been reconciled to God while enemies/unbelievers ! 45

 

[brightfame52]

Did Jesus Christ die for the sin of unbelief ? 2

Now the fact is, yes Christ died for ones unbelief if indeed He died for their sins, and again He did not die for everyone's sins without exception, but He did only for a Chosen Remnant Eph 1:4, His Elect, or His Church Eph 5:25, or His Sheep opposed to the goats Jn 10:11,15, or Israel !

And those of us He did die for, our trespasses are not and cannot be charged/imputed against us 2 Cor 5:19

19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

And unbelief is but one of many trespasses. Its the beginning inlet trespass of man in Adam as stated here Rom 5:15,17

15 But not as the offence/trespass, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence/trespass of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

17 For if by one man's offence/trespass death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ)

The word offence paraptóma: is also the word for trespass in 2 Cor 5:19 and it means:

a falling away, lapse, slip, false step, trespass, sin.

Now we shall see that unbelief is a trespass a falling away from the Lord, that which national israel was guilty of, as well as Adam Ezk 15:6-8

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.

8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.

Now notice God gives the cause of why He shall set His face against the inhabitants of jerusalem, Vs 8 because they have committed a trespass saith the Lord. Now the hebrew word here for trespass is maal and means:

an unfaithful or treacherous act, unfaithfulness (6), very unfaithful (1).

The main sin here is apostacy to idolatry which is unbelief, like what Paul says shall happen in the Latter days of the professing church 1 Tim 4:1

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, NAS

It was the sin/trespass that cut off national israel from covenent privileges as a nation Rom 11:20

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

That word unbelief means :

unbelief, unfaithfulness, distrust. And that the trespass of Ezk 15:8

And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

Again the word is maal and means:

1), unfaithful (3), unfaithful act (4), unfaithful deeds (1), unfaithfully (6), unfaithfulness (6), very unfaithful

 

[brightfame52]

Did Jesus Christ die for the sin of unbelief ? 3

Now to show even moreso that those Christ died for, which are by His death reconciled to God while they are being enemies/unbelievers Rom 5:10, to show that they are an entirely different group apart from those who while they are enemies and unbelievers, instead of being reconciled to God, they are #1 Already condemned Jn 3:18 and #2 Under Gods wrath Jn 3:36,

Now to further illustrate the difference, the enemies that Christ died for which were reconciled to God while enemies, thus already reconciled, the promise to them is that they shall be saved by His death Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

To them its promised more future salvation ! However, to those enemies/unbelievers who are under Gods wrath Jn 3:36 the promise is they shall not see Life Jn 3:36

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

See the difference now between the two different sets of enemies and unbelievers ? One set shall be saved by Christ's Life, the other set shall not see Life, but shall remain under the wrath of God ! Christ's Death makes the difference, not faith ! 45

 

[brightfame52]

By His Obedience many shall be made Righteous !

Rom 5:19

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

This is another Grand Truth of the Gospel of Gods Grace that the religious condemned world cannot and will not be persuaded of or believe, that many are made Righteous unto God solely by the Obedience of Christ alone, which obedience is His both Actively and Passively, and heres why ! In His Obedience He acted as a Surety of a Better Covenant Heb 7:22

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament/covenant.

Thats what is meant here Heb 10:5-9

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will[As A Surety of a Better Covenant or Testament], O God.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first[Testament], that he may establish the second/Better[Testament].

Now in doing this, Two things were accomplished unto the People of God and for His Glory in making them Righteous, First in His Obedience Active, He performed the Perfect Obedience that Gods Law demanded out of Love to God, for He performed the First and Greatest Commandment here stated Matt 22:36-38

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

As well as this One did He obey fully Matt 22:39-40

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

So Christ performed these Two Commandments Perfectly by His Active Obedience to Gods Law for the Many He made Righteous Rom 5:19 which they failed to do in Adam the first ! And Secondly He gave Satisfaction to Gods Offended Law, That is Satisfaction to His Divine Justice, wherein they had disobeyed Gods Law first in Adam their Natural and Federal Head and in themselves which they would be committing once they were born into this world as sinners and transgressors personally; and by this His Suretyship Obedience for them He did this which was spoken by the Prophet Isaiah Isa 42:21

21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

This refers back to Him in His Suretyship obedience for the People Isa 42:6

I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant[Surety Heb 7:22] of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

God out of Grace has accepted Jesus Surety Obedience for many, making His Surety Obedience to His Law, theirs, and thats why it is stated Rom 5:19

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

This is why their sins, transgressions are forgiven and they reconciled to God, even when they themselves by nature are Gods enemies to Him Rom 5:10,19, what Grace, this the Natural man cannot receive 1 Cor 2:14 !

 

[brightfame52]

It delivered us from this evil present world !

Gal 1:4

4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

One of the purposes, end results of Christ dying for our sins, was to deliver us from this present evil world [ another way of expressing salvation] according to the will of God and Our Father !

This being delivered from the present world is a purposed result of the Will of God, in Christ giving Himself for our sins, this is so much so that if anyone for whom Christ gave Himself for their sins is not delivered from this present evil world, His death failed the Will and Purpose of God Our Father !

Many in false antichrist religion today would tell us that multitudes for whom Christ died shall yet be condemned with the world for their sins, remaining lost in unbelief ! Folks thats a antichrist teaching, its not of God !

All for whom The True Christ died, all of them shall be according to the Purpose and Will of God the Father, delivered from this present evil world !

John Gill writes:

that he might deliver us from this present evil world; by which is meant, either the Jewish world, or church state, in which were a worldly sanctuary, and which were subject to ceremonies and traditions, called the elements and rudiments of the world; and who were possessed of worldly notions, and in expectation of a worldly kingdom to be set up by the Messiah; and both in principle and in practice were sadly degenerated, and were become very evil and wicked: or the present age and generation of men, whether of Jews or Gentiles, which was so corrupt, as the like was never known; or in general the present world, and the men of it, in distinction either from the world before the flood, as in 2 Peter 3:5 or rather from the new heavens and earth, which will be after the present ones, and wherein will dwell righteousness; or, in a word, from the world which is to come, as they are frequently opposed in Scripture: and which is said to be "evil", not with respect to the matter, that being all very good, as created by God; but with respect to the men of it, who lie in wickedness, under the power of the wicked one, and of their own sins; and to the things which are in it, all which are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Now Christ gave himself a sacrifice for the sins of his people, that as in consequence of this they might be delivered and saved from the damning power, so from the governing power and influence of all that is evil in this present world; as from Satan, the god of it, who has usurped a power over it; from the lusts that are predominant in it; from the vain conversation of the men of it; from the general conflagration of it at the last day, and from the perdition of ungodly men, and their eternal destruction in hell: and all this is according to the will of God, and our Father,

 

[brightfame52]

It delivered us from this evil present world !2

God the Father purposed that through the death of Christ, His Children should be delivered from the evil of this present world, it was according to His Will Gal 1:4

4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

The same will of God as here Rom 8:27

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And here 1 Pet 4:19

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Also notice Paul said He Christ was delivered for Our sins according to the Will of God and Our Father !

This expressly tells us that Christ died for the Children of God, God was their Father, when Christ gave Himself for them and their sins ! They were always Gods children, He was always their Father, that is why He Loved them so, to give His Only Begotten Son for them, their Elder Brother ! When He came to die for their sins, He was made Like unto His Brethren scripture says here Heb 2:17

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

And thats not talking about the jews in the flesh, because Jesus made it clear that many if not most of them had not God as their Father Jn 8:41-42

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

So quite frankly they could not have been His Brethren, and had God His Father as their Father !

But thats who Christ gave Himself for, those who had God as their Father Gal 1:4

4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

If He is Our God, He is Our Father ! Not all men have God as their Father !46

 

[brightfame52]

Christ is a Saviour because He gives Repentance !


Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Christ is a Saviour, thats what His Finished work accomplished for all them He died for and was raised for [Their Justification], raised to the Right Hand to be a Saviour to Gods Elect Israel. Now incorporated/included in Him being a Saviour, is that He gives, not offer, but He gives, bestows upon Israel, Gods Elect, or His Church Eph 5:25 Repentance !

Now exactly what is this Repentance that the Saviour of the Church/Israel gives them ?

For one, its Repentance to the Belief or Acknowledging of the Truth. Thats what God given Repentance gives, 2 Tim 2:25-26

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

John Gill writes:

If God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth: repentance here designs a repentance of errors in principle, a change of mind upon conviction, and such as issues in a free and ingenuous confession, and acknowledgment of the truth before opposed; and such a repentance is the gift of God: it is he that opens the eyes of the understanding, and works conviction in the mind, and leads into all truth, as it is in Jesus; and induces men to repent of their errors, confess their mistakes, and own the truth; even as repentance of evil practices is not owing to the power of men, nor to the bare influence of means, but to the efficacious grace of God, it being a grant from him. And though this is not certain, that God will give repentance to such contradictors and blasphemers of his Gospel; yet as it is his will, that all his chosen ones should come to repentance, and that some of all sorts should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth; and seeing these things have been brought about under and by the ministry of the word, it is an encouragement to the ministers of the Gospel to continue their instructions in the manner here directed.

Its Repentance to the same acknowledging of the Truth here that is to Gods Elect Titus 1:1

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness

Now understand, If Christ is really Our Saviour, its evidenced by His Granting Us Repentance to the Acknowledgement of the Truth of the Gospel as it is Him !

Christ cannot possible be the Saviour of any man that remains in unbelief, unrepentant , unchanged towards the Truth of the Gospel, for that to happen would be an indictment against Him being a Risen Saviour at the Right Hand of God !

 

[brightfame52]

Glorying in the Cross of Christ !

Gal 6:14

14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

True Believers Glory in the Cross for all of Salvation, not the Cross plus their freewill decision, or not the Cross and their faith and or repentance, but solely in the Cross of Christ, because by it alone we experience the reality of the World crucified unto us, and we to the world !

I have been crucified to something and it has been crucified to me, so that we are dead to each other all fellowship and contact between us has ceased,

By His Cross We are not and cannot never come into condemnation with the world 1 Cor 11:32

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

By it, the Cross alone we are delivered from this present evil world according to the Purpose and Will of God the Father Gal 1:4-5

4 Who gave himself for our sins, that[purpose] he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 46

 

[brightfame52]

Glorying in the Cross of Christ !2

We Glory in Christ Cross/Blood alone because by it, even when we were enemies, unbelievers, at active enmity against God, we were still reconciled to God by the Blood of His Son Rom 5:10

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death[Cross, Blood] of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

When this Truth is revealed to God given Faith, we Glory in the Cross of Christ. This Reconciliation by the Cross of Christ takes place without our Faith, without our consent, in fact without our knowledge of it, but while in ignorance.

Also by it [The Cross, Blood, Death] of Christ, without Faith, We are Justified before God and Declared Righteous before Him, Per Rom 5:19b

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

This obedience of His is His obedience unto the Cross Phil 2:8

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

All this happened as a result and effect of the Cross of Christ apart from any of our obedience, faith, repentance of our own, and while we were enemies, and by this way, Christ has secured unto Himself all the Glory of Our Salvation, and by this Knowledge being communicated to us, We Glory in the Cross, Boast in the Lord and what His Cross has done !

Christ has abolished death by His death !

2 Tim 1:10

10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

See the wages of sin is death Rom 6:23, and because Christ has taken away the sins of those He died for, for them death has been abolished !

This is a True Gospel fact, all for whom He died, Gods Elect 2 Tim 2:10 have had for them death abolished [its the Gift of God] through Christ. Now the word abolished here in the text is the greek word katargeó and means:

(a) I make idle (inactive), make of no effect, annul, cancel abolish, bring to naught, (b) I discharge, sever, separate from.
to bring to a end,

here are how some of the other translations define it :

but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.NIV

and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,ESV


but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!NET

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and has brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,Jubilee Bible 2000

but now [that extraordinary purpose and grace] has been fully disclosed and realized by us through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who [through His incarnation and earthly ministry] abolished death [making it null and void] and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Now understand, everyone Christ tasted death for, every man Heb 2:9, He as their Saviour abolished death for them, and consequently as evidence, they must be made alive from spiritual death, which death was due to sin Eph 2:1,5

And you hath he quickened[made alive], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened[made alive] us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)

Thats why He is Our Saviour, He makes us alive from Spiritual Death, its the Gift of God.

At His Resurrection He officially for them becomes a Lifegiving Spirit 1 Cor 15:45

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Thats because, by His death for their sins, putting them away Heb 9:26

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

He put away the consequence of their sins, which was death, and quickens them to life as proof, verification that death for them has been abolished by Him their Saviour !

Folks its impossible for Christ to have died for someone and they are not made alive unto God because He for them abolished death ! 46

 

[brightfame52]

Delivered us from the curse of the Law !

Those Christ died for have been delivered from the curse of the Law, so we read in Gal 3:13

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

What is the Curse of the Law ? Simply this, Hell, Eternal Separation from God in endless torment ! Its Eternal Misery and Woe, its that being accursed Paul writes of here Gal 1:8-9

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Which the word means:

anathema:

a votive offering, a thing devoted to God; a curse, the thing cursed.

place up, referring to something pledged (given up) to destruction; a divine curse/ban ("accursed"); an "oath-curse."

a thing devoted to God without hope of being redeemed, and, if an animal, to be slain (Leviticus 27:28, 29); therefore a person or thing doomed to destruction, Joshua 6:17;

a man accursed, devoted to the direst woes

, Romans 9:3 (pregnantly equivalent to doomed and so separated from Christ).

Christ has been made a Curse for them He died for, redeeming them from it, how ? Not by their faith or repentance, but by being made a curse for them , by dying for them !

Now because He was made a curse for them, they dont have to be made a curse. The curse is Eternal Death, Christ for His People underwent their Eternal Death !

 

[brightfame52]

Delivered us from the curse of the Law !2

Listen those whom Jesus will speak these words unto Matt 25:41

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

They cannot be anyone Christ died for, because all them He died for were redeemed from the curse of the Law. This Everlasting Fire they are cursed into is the curse of the Law, its the Second Death Rev 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Jesus calls them cursed in Matt 25:41 because they were not by His Death redeemed from the curse of the Law, and consequently their sins remain against and on them , they die in their sins Jn 8:24.

Understand, those cursed going into everlasting fire Matt 25:41, are going into the second death Rev 21:8, which all death is the wages of sin Rom 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the wages of sin is death,.... By sin, is meant every sin, original sin, actual sin, every kind of sin, lesser and greater: the "death" which sin deserves, is a corporeal death; which is not owing to the original nature and constitution of men; nor merely to the divine appointment; but to sin, and the decree of God, on account of it; which is inflicted on Christless sinners, as a punishment for sin, though not on believers as such, because Christ has took away the sting and curse of it: a death of diseases and afflictions also follows upon sin, as its proper demerit; which are properly punishments to wicked men, and are occasioned by sin in believers: there is a death of the soul, which comes by sin, which lies in an alienation from God, in a loss of the image of God, and in a servitude to sin; and there is an eternal death, the just wages of sin, which lies in a separation of soul and body from God, and in a sense of divine wrath to all eternity; and which is here meant, as is clear from its antithesis, "eternal life",

John Gill

But for all whom Christ died, He hath as a Gift to them, abolished death 2 Tim 1:10

10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Its inconsistent with the accomplishment of Christ's death, for anyone He died for to go into the second death, or the Lake of fire as those in Matt 25:41 ! 46

 

[brightfame52]

Christ is Victorious over Death !

Christ is Victorious over Death ! However do we really believe this fact ? You see in Him being Victorious over Death, He has for them He died for, and rose again for their Justification Rom 4:25, for them because He's Victorious, has abolished death 2 Tim 1:10

10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Now Christ Jesus has come to show us the kindness of God. Christ our Savior defeated death[for us] and brought us the good news. It shines like a light and offers life that never ends.

He brings immortality to light, that being "immunity from eternal death"

Now He is hardly Victorious over Death if those He died for as Surety Head remain in Spiritual death and go into the second death, For His Resurrection from/out from the dead was not for Himself, as His going into death was not for Himself, but as the Head and Surety of His People, the Sheep, His Body the Church, and so consequently if the Head is Victorious out from death, so must be His People, His Body ! Because He was raised for their Justification Rom 4:25, which is Justification of Life Rom 5:18b.

Its a great contradiction to say Christ is Victorious over death and not those He died for ! So do we really believe Christ is victorious over death if one He dies for is not ? NO we don't !

 

[brightfame52]

Faith and or Repentance

Faith and or Repentance toward God and or Christ are products of Redemption by the Blood of Christ, and not conditions of it Heb 9:14

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Now false teachers would tell us that in order to be redeemed unto God by Christ's blood, one must meet the conditions of faith or repentance, but that is false, for the fact is, one is redeemed in order to repent and or believe on Christ, both faith and repentance are the evidences and consequences of having been redeemed by Christ's blood, for again we read in Rev 5:9-10

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Now notice carefully in this Praise what is being acknowledged about Christ, "for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:"

So Repentance toward God and Faith in Christ Acts 20:21 are fruits, evidences, results of Redemption.

After redeeming them by His Blood, they are then made something unto God, its the production of spiritual service, a kingdom of priests, thats the result of redemption by blood, which also fulfills the prediction of Israel the Church Ex 19:6

6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 46

hello brightflame
After the last time conversation we had I had no intention of ever responding to anything you say. I'm not saying I was wrong about what I said. Everything I said to you is true or close to the truth in which case I would have qualified that by saying I think or I believe I wouldn't have said I know.

Problem is every time I spoke to you it was as a Pharisee who didn't love Jesus.
Sometimes we forget that not all the religious leaders hated Jesus and the reason for that is because they knew he was the Messiah from what they studied but the chief priest in Jesus day corrupt.
It's important to understand this because that chief priest wooden bow to the real high priest when he overturned the money changers tables.
A Jewish friend of mine who loves Christ told me something from his cultures perspective that I never considered before. He said Jesus was angry with how

Makes us Alive !

Since Christ by His death, has abolished death for all whom He died, they must be made spiritually alive as proof of the same ! By His death alone He took away their sins 1 Jn 3:5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

And so by doing, He takes away death, or being dead, because being dead/death is the wages of sin Rom 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Another way Paul expresses it is here Rom 5:15

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

The offence here is sin, and because of it, many be dead, that means dead spiritually, dead to God, dead in sin and trespasses.

But now since Christ has taken away the offences, Justice demands that being made dead for sin is also taken away, which equates to being made alive !

You see, its a cheat upon the death of Christ, for those He died for, and took away their offences, for them to remain spiritually dead, spiritually dead to God, spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, for that would contradict the accomplishment of His Death ! So everyone Christ died for, must be and shall be made spiritually alive, for the only reason why they were made to be dead, was because of the offence Rom 5:15

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

That offence being taken away 1 Jn 3:5, then being made dead must be taken away, that is Justice ! 46

Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, Rom.5;10 WEB

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Tim.2:14

Adam + Eve = one body (His church.)

So all who committed sin are redeemed by following Christ.

 

[journeymanisnothing]

The law requiring two witnesses to convict could not be found in the garden because instead of testifying against his wife Adam chose death but was unable to redeem himself as a sinner.

God would not condemn man without a second faithful witness on earth. In in the same way our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as a man would not condemn any sinner. Then Jesus left and tHis Spiirit came dwelling in believers one body one witness. Christ is returning as a trinity to marry his bride.

Makes us Alive ! 2

Again, death, to include spiritual and the second death reigns because of sin Rom 5:21

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

But for those Christ has died for, put away their sins, death no longer has the right to reign over them, that is the eternal second death, nor spiritual death of which they were born in by nature .

If one for whom Christ died does not be made spiritually alive, its like saying Christ did not put away their sins by the sacrifice of Himself, and that He did not by His death abolish death, which scripture states that He did 2 Tim 1:10

10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

This also means that none for whom Christ died can be hurt with the second death Rev 2:11

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

He that overcometh is simply everyone Christ died for as their Head and Representative ! 46

So all who committed sin are redeemed by following Christ.

False statement nowhere in scripture, all for whom Christ died , by His death were redeemed from the curse of the Law Gal 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree
Because He bore their sins on the Tree 1 Pet 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
