RANSOMED

[p_rehbein]

Soteriology: The Study of Salvation

1) Christ died for the salvation of mankind.

Matthew 20:28) Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Romans 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Hebrews 2:9) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

2) Christ died in our place. Had He not died, we would have died.

1 Timothy 2:6) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

1 Peter 3:18) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

3) Christ died to appease God. Jesus, by His death, turned God's wrath away from us. Our sins were/are an offense to God, and Jesus became a propitiation for us, being He made us who sinned to find favor in the eyes of God. When the world looks us, they see our sin. When God looks at us, He sees the precious blood of Christ.

Romans 3:25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

(lost over half of the OP when I posted, sigh, sorry for that)

1 John 2:2) And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

2 Corinthians 5:18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
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.

4) Christ died to redeem mankind.

Acts 20:28) Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Romans 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

1 Corinthians 6:19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 .) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Peter 1:18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 .) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 .) Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

5) Christ died to declare God's righteousness.

Romans 3:25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 .) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

[The Old Testament sacrifices were but a shadow of things to come]

Colossians 2:16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 .) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Hebrews 8:5) Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Hebrews 9:23) It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 .) For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Hebrews 10:8) 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, that he may establish the second.
10 .) By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Leviticus 17:11) For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

[At the Passover, a lamb was slain, and it's blood was sprinkled on the door post so that the first-born would not die.]

Hebrews 9:22) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

[With His death, Christ became our Passover]

1 Corinthians 5:7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

We truly are a ransomed people!
