Jesus Paid It ALL! Isaiah 53:5

[LOLOKGal]

Consider these verses:

[Luk 9:56] "For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them."

[Jhn 10:9] "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved..."

[Eph 2:8] "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith..."

So, I did an etymology study of the word,"Save(ed)". In these verses, and many more, it is the Greek word sozo. Sozo means, forgiveness of sin, healing of diseases, and deliverance from torment. So those same verses could be read as:

[Luk 9:56] "For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to forgive them of sin, heal them of diseases, and deliver them from torment."

[Jhn 10:9] "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment..."

[Eph 2:8] "For it is by grace you have been forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment through faith..."

Isaiah 53:5 paints this picture for us:

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities (forgiven of sin).

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him (delivered from torment).

And by His stripes we are healed (healed of diseases).

So, just know... When you accepted Him as Lord and Savior, you accepted ALL of Him! That includes being forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment! =D

Good post LoLo! I was just reading about the word SOZO tonight from a Christian website called "World Changers" and it also applies to what you said here in your post. I used to think that Jesus was more relevant later when I die and get to heaven. But I've since learned He needs to be significant right now while we are walking here on earth too.

So many Christians think the same way I used to., that we live a rotten miserable life here and just wait it out till we die and get to heaven. I'm so thankful to have found out that the joy of the Lord is our strength. That He came to give us life and that more abundantly. SOZO!!!




To be relevant is to be connected to the matter at hand, and God’s grace is relevant to every aspect of our everyday lives. Religion teaches that God is only significant when we get to heaven after we die, but Jesus wants to be connected to us right now. It is very important that we not limit our relationship with God in terms of simply going to heaven—He wants to have an impact in everything we do and every situation we encounter. Through the shedding of His blood, Jesus has perfected everything that impacts us.

A. God’s love has many components to it. It is an active and powerful force in our lives.

1. Jesus gave Himself for our sins, to deliver us now, not at some undefined point in the future. This was God’s will (Galatians 1:4).
   1. Jesus shed His blood to deliver us from every kind of evil we could experience.
   2. We can only escape the evils of the world if we are careful not to neglect Jesus’ blood and what it gives us.
   3. His blood makes sozo available to us. Sozo is a pervading, all-encompassing peace and wholeness that restores, preserves, and saves.
2. We are saved by God’s grace, which is a gift from Him (Ephesians 2:8, AMP).
   1. We do not receive this grace through our own efforts, but by His unmerited, unearned favor. It makes us partakers of salvation.
3. The angel prophesied Jesus would be born to save the people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
4. The Word saves those who believe it (1 Corinthians 1:21).
   1. The translation of the word save used in these two Scriptures is
5. God saves us completely and thoroughly by sozo. We are forgiven (Hebrews 7:25).
6. Jairus asked Jesus to lay His hands on his daughter and heal her (Mark 5:23).
   1. This type of healing was another manifestation of sozo.
7. Those who saw Jesus heal the man possessed by multiple devils confessed how He performed the exorcism (Luke 8:36).
   1. The man had been delivered from demons. Sozo also means deliverance.
8. The lame man who had never walked in his life heard the Word, believed, leaped up, and started walking (Acts 14:8-10).
   1. He had faith in the sozo package that made healing available to him.

Consider these verses:

[Luk 9:56] "For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them."

[Jhn 10:9] "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved..."

[Eph 2:8] "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith..."

So, I did an etymology study of the word,"Save(ed)". In these verses, and many more, it is the Greek word sozo. Sozo means, forgiveness of sin, healing of diseases, and deliverance from torment. So those same verses could be read as:

[Luk 9:56] "For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to forgive them of sin, heal them of diseases, and deliver them from torment."

[Jhn 10:9] "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment..."

[Eph 2:8] "For it is by grace you have been forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment through faith..."

Isaiah 53:5 paints this picture for us:

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities (forgiven of sin).

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him (delivered from torment).

And by His stripes we are healed (healed of diseases).

So, just know... When you accepted Him as Lord and Savior, you accepted ALL of Him! That includes being forgiven of sin, healed of diseases, and delivered from torment! =D

By you saying "When you accepted Him as Lord" you are admitting that we must do something on our part in order to receive it, because not everyone will benefit from His sacrifice, not even all Christians, for it says "If you sin willfully there no longer remains a sacrifice for your sins." ('No longer' means it once genuinely did. Also, sinning willfully means premeditated sin- not only not repenting, but making future plans and provisions to sin).

Problem is, no where in the Bible does it say that 'accepting Him as Lord' is what it takes to receive it. So what does the Bible (not mankind) say you must do in order to receive it? There is only one thing that washes away sin, thus resulting in salvation, but it is not 'accepting', that one thing is Christ's blood. HOWEVER, you must come in contact with it in order for it to work. Does 'accepting' get us in contact? No...

Jesus shed His blood in His death, we are then baptized into His death- where we come in contact with His blood. (Romans 6:3) We stay in contact with His blood by partaking of the Lord's Supper upon the first day of the week, in the assembly of the saints (Christians). Whether physically or spiritually, life is in the blood. And you can't just accept the concept, you must have contact in order for it to work.

There is more than one thing that leads us to come in contact with Christ's blood, but it is not until contact that we are saved (and we must remain in contact to stay saved). These 'steps before the actual door' are...

Hearing the gospel (you can't obey what you don't know)

Believing (baptism without belief is just getting wet)

Repenting (make a conscience u-turn away from sin)

Accepting, sure- which is...

Confessing that Jesus is Lord

Baptism (which is obeying the gospel of Christ- which is His death, burial, and resurrection- we die to our self, bury our sinful self in the watery grave of baptism, and are raise a new creature in Christ. For it is during baptism that God performs circumcision of the heart (Col 2) by cutting sin from our heart with Christ's blood).

Feeding on the Word (what does not eat does not grow, and what does not grow dies).

Remaining in the body (the church is the body of Christ of which He is the only head (authority)

Obeying (although nothing we can do can earn grace (salvation by Christ's blood), the obedient one are the only group He gives it to).

Remaining by faithful until death ("IF you remain faithful until death, I will give you a crown of life.")

All of these LEAD to salvation, and in that way they do save, but what actually saves is Christ's blood- which we must come in contact with.




"With flames of fire (hell) He will take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of His Son."

Wow the title has, "Jesus paid it ALL! Isaiah 53:5" Yet has not one thing about Isaiah 53:5 in the OP. Here it is what it is about according to Peter

Isaiah 53:5 "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."

Here's how Peter applies the meaning of this Scripture to our lives. I Peter 2:21-25“For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:


22 “Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth”;23 who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

Peter says nothing about physical healing, we are heal from our sins because He took them on His body, that we might live for rightousness, we needed to be healed because we were like sheep gone astary, being healed from our sins, we have now returned to the Sheperherd and Overseer of our souls. The healing is in the soul so that we might live to rightousness, returning to the Sheperherd and Overseer of our souls.

Our souls were healed, how? Because He was wounded, bruised and chastized, for our trangressions, iniquities and our peace was upon Him and He committed Himself to Him who judges rightously for our sins in His body on the tree (cross) so our souls could be healed to return to the Sheperherd and Overseer of our souls.

If I were a quadriplegic and Jesus dying on the cross healed me to where I could walk again, but my soul still was on it's way to eternal judgement there would be no eternal joy, but if I were a quadriplegic and never walked but, He set me free from my sins that I might live rightously before the one who judges rightously. I would have eternal joy and would receive my new glorified body in the resurrection that is eternally healed before the Sheperherd and Overseer of my soul, what eternal joy.

Being physically sick for this monment of time on earth, to be eternally healed that I might live rightously brings a greater joy than physical healing when you see this earthly life for what it is and eternity with the Lord is not even comparable.
