"Why Mankind Needs A Ransom"


The Hebrew word for Ransom means to cover so Jehovah covers our sin by Jesus Christ.
This being the central doctrine of Christianity.
The foundation of our hope for everlasting life.

Romans 5:12 + 13 That is why, just through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned;

Adam;s sin brought corruption and satan;s rule to all mankind.
Such a cruelty. Such short-sightedness.

Happily, God foresaw the way to pay the necessary ransom for our kidnapping into sin through the lies and deception of satan.

1 Timothy 2:5+6 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all - this is what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times.

Hebrews 9 explains the illustration that was the the first Tent constructed under the Mosaic Law, its food, drink and various baptisms that were requirements pertaining to the flesh and how it pointed to a far greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands and goes on further to say...

Hebrews 9:12 -14 He(Jesus) entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, but with his own blood, once for all time into the holy place and obtained an everlasting deliverance for us. For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh, how much more will the blood of the Christ, who through an everlasting spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works that we may render sacred service to the living God?

No animal;s blood could possibly be a corresponding ransom for Adam;s sin nor could an imperfect sacrifice cover the sin of the perfect man(before he sinned).

Such is the gift that God gives us imperfect human beings.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 1:Seven By means of Him(Jesus) we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His(Jehovah;s) undeserved kindness.

Hallelujah(Praise Jehovah All You People)
