Hi josephcc,
According to my understanding I would like to answer ur question. By the time
Adam and his wife did sin, God closed the door of Aden infrond of them. So the
children of them became sin by birth itself. Because the sinful blood from
adam went in to his children. So after generation by generation this world
filled with sinful people. Means everybody became a sinner. Even if a person
is not doing any sin in his life, or by activities he is a sinner by birth
itself. In the bible it is clearly telling that "Penalty of sin is DEATH".
This is a very very sharpened true rule in bible. But God has mercy and love
towards the people in this world. Same time he wants to punish the people who
did sin. If it will happen, all the people in this world should go to hell.
For helping this world from sin, somebody should take away our sin, or
somebody should die instead of our death. And he should not be a sinful person
by birth itself. So what God did was, he send his beloved son to this earth as
a human being. By birth Jesus was not a sinful person. Then you may ask a
question "Jesus born as the son of Joseph, so naturally the blood of Joseph
should be there in the body of Jesus". But his birth was a special birth.
Jesus had born from a lady who was a virgin. So the birth of Jesus is a holly
one. That means he is a man born in this world, at the same time he is not a
sinner by birth. For helping the people in this world, from the final
judgement, what Jesus did was, he died on the cross by wearing all the sin of
this world on his body. That means somebody gave the penalty of our sin. So we
don't need to worry about the sin that we did. The most important thing is
that, you should believe that Jesus died for your sin. Then u will get
salvation, and there will not be a final judgement for you. It is simple to
understand the fact through a simple logic. Suppose you are driving your car
in the opposite direction of one-way traffic. The police has caught you, and
he gave you fine of let us say $1000.00 (I got a fine of $1000.00 one time
because of speeding, that+IBk-s why this logic came in to my mind!!!). So you
need to give the money. That+IBk-s the rule. But by that time, a very loving
person came there and gave the fine for you. Then you don't need to give the
fine. Am I right? As the same way Jesus did to us. He already gave the penalty
of our sin. So whoever is believing that Jesus died for his sin, and if he is
accepting Jesus as his savior, he will not be under judgement under the God's
law of "penalty of sin is death", and he will get salvation, and will enter in
the heaven. Getting salvation is free of cost, but it doesn't mean that it is
not a valuable one or cheap. You are getting, high value of a holy blood free
of coast, you can+IBk-t just +IBw-purchase+IB0 it. Just believe the truth.
God bless you....
