And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus”. – 2 Timothy 3:15
LIGHT FOR NOW: Christ is your mediator
Man sinned against God by refusing to believe in Him. By pledging his allegiance to the devil, he sold his right to the devil. This way, man sinned against his creator, and consequently, he died. By the law of heritage, his descendants were not better than him; they had the consequences of sin passed upon them. Paul, prying into this case, observed that “…the wages of sin is death”. He also announced the remediation of man’s deplorable condition “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1Timothy 3:16).
This means that Christ willingly presented Himself to be judged for the sins of men, which He never committed. The devil did not kill Jesus. Jesus willingly gave Himself to redeem man. Satan and the demons stood as witnesses against Jesus. Christ was discharged and acquitted. Having died for us, he was raised from death. His death made you have a right standing with God; His death brought justification to you. This means complete acquittal because you have been set free from the charge of any sin. Glory
