Featured The Atonement of Christ: What did it REALLY Achieve ?6

Call it what you will, yet you are denying that Christs death saved/healed them He died for, the testimony is of scripture 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.

 

You are evading and denying that with the giving of Christ, God gave also everything needed to be saved, Faith, Repentance, Forgiveness, the Spirit Rom 8:32

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

 

Peter and Isaiah Testify 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.

Isa 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Now according to these witnesses, how were they healed, saved ?

 

The atonement doesnt save ? The death of Christ doesnt save The blood of Christ doesnt save ? Friend listen to yourself, thats a horrible thing to say concerning the death of Christ, especially in light of the fact you scripture testimony the His stripes saved, healed 1 Pet 2:24
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.

 

God giving, delivering up Christ for the elect of God, with Him gives all the saving spiritual blessings needed to save. Repentance comes from Christ 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.

He is the author of our repentance, A Saviour saves, He gives repentance !

By no means, I have a entire thread dedicated to this subject,, with tons of scripture. In fact you are posting in it now..

He forgives them He died for. Forgiveness is through the Shed Blood Matt 26:28

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

As the risen Saviour of those He died for He gives them repentance, and forgiveness of sins 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.

And He gives them Faith to trust in Him. So anyone who never comes to Faith/Trust, that means He didnt die for them.

He gives them trust in Him and His word, that was promised long ago Matt 12:21

20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Rom 15:12

And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Heb 2:13

13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

 

With His Stripes ye are healed !2

The healing that is effected of 1 Pet 2:24 has its impetus in the forgiveness of sins, The Psalmist wrote Ps 103:3

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Healing follows Forgiveness of sins for it is a Major Benefit of having Christ die for you, its congruous.

Now the healing which accompanies the forgiveness heals our backsliding, or our departure/s from God as stated here Hosea 14: 2-4

2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

That word for heal is rapha' = I.to heal, make healthful

Its to heal their backsliding, the word meshubah and means:

faithless, turning back, apostasy

Remember Isa 53:6

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Well He heals that going astray, that turning to our own way and again it is declared Vs 5

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

It comes because, He was wounded for Our Transgression, because Our Iniquity was laid upon Him, that produces a healing from faithlessness or unbelief ! Unbelief caused the departure from God Heb 3:12

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

Thats what Adam and Eve did in the garden because of the serpent !

Back to our text, what preceded the promise to heal the backsliding ? Look at Hos 14:2

2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

Dosent that Look to this Isa 53:6

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

And what does Christ do with them after they are laid on Him ? Ps 103:12

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

That word removed here rachaq means:

I.
to be or become far, be or become distant, be removed, go far away
A.
(Qal) to be far, be distant

B.
(Piel) to send far away, extend

C.
(Hiphil)
i.
to make or exhibit distance, be gone far

ii.
to remove, put far away



II.
(Niphal) loose

John the Baptist speaks of it here Jn 1:29

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

The words taketh away here mean I.to raise up, elevate, lift up
A.
to raise from the ground, take up: stones

B.
to raise upwards, elevate, lift up: the hand

And the words take away here Hos 14:2

2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

Those words mean also :

to lift, carry, take

The taking away of sin and receiving us graciously speaks to the reconciliation that is effected in the Death of Christ Rom 5:10 !

All for whom Christ has died has a clean slate before God's Law and Justice, and so the vital application of the healing takes effect, which heals our backsliding in adam, or our turning to our own way Isa 53:6. This healing gives us repentance toward God and Faith in Jesus Christ.

God's anger has been turned away ! How so ? By the propitiation of Christ 1 Jn 2:2 and that brings healing !

 

His death secured/accomplished the remission of sins Matt 26:28
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Remission of sins is also Justification. And when Christ rose from the dead, it was a verification that those He died for, are forgiven and Justified Rom 4:25

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Paul is saying that He was raised again because of our Justification, or forgiveness.

That word Justification dikaiōsis:

the act of God's declaring men free from guilt and acceptable to him; adjudging to be righteous,

So the resurrection of Christ confirms that Christs death, for them He died[His Sheep] put away their sins,gave them forgiveness, and declares them righteous.

Now are you going to deny the testimony of Christs resurrection ?
