Jesus paid it all? How could he atone for my sins?

How is it just for a judge to punish someone else rather than the criminal himself? Frank responds.

I love the thumbnail they used. I believe it's from the new series "The Chosen".

[elimanofGod]

Hey! "The Chosen"! In all seriousness, I have always loved this concept of God stepping down from His "bench" to pay our fine.

[Kman.]

I like the little chorus which goes like this... "Christ paid a debt he did not owe, I owe a debt I could not pay, I needed someone to wash my sins away. And now I sing a brand new song, Amazing Grace... Christ paid a debt I owed, a debt I could not pay. *II Cor **5:17*

[dadangparman]

That's why it's called "grace", brother, that's the beauty of it. Because God knows that no human can atone themself from sin, not with money, not with good moral and behaviour or with good deed, and the wages of sin is death. You simply cannot pay your sin, you can only be forgiven.

[joshua.a]

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

[God_created_in__days]

Wonderful answer!

"But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." Romans 5:8 & 9

[JDDK]

The sacrifice makes perfect sense when you understand the sacrifices the Father commanded in the Torah. But so many people ‘do away’ with the Old Testament. You miss everything that He lays out for us to live His way...

[shanicebrown]

The question was asked in heaven ' Who will take the punishment for the sins of man'. Only the lamb stepped forward for only he was worthy. Thank God for Jesus!

[pavan]

Because the worldly judges don't love you, they give you your deserved punishment, but God loves you, So much that He gave His only son to take your punishment.

[KnighteMinistriez]

Pretty straightforward answer and an easy question.
I love this ministry, keep up the good work. God bless. Jesus saves.

[edgaruribe]

We forget something that yes God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, but also, we forget that God loves his name above anything else so he becomes a man Jesus of Nazareth to pay the find we made against him, that will send us to hell, in return now we have inherited heaven if we repent of our sins (do a 180 on our sins) and believe in the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ

[landonvandop]

I think the difference between human judges and God is that the human judge doesn't write the law. God is both judge and the standard of law, so it is just for God to pay the penalty himself.

[HiThereHeyThere]

The criminal is still guilty. But if the fine is paid, the defendant is set free. The law has been satisfied.

[viniljoel]

The answer is man cannot overcome sin all by himself. It is said that all have sinned (Rom 3:23) which means that nobody is able to gain perfection by their own deeds.

Only God can make good our wrongs. Imagine it this way - God made man and man fell from a sin. Now we could simply say that God could've gone back in time and did now allow man to fall so that everything was perfect. But God knows everything and He very well knows the reason why He chose not to go back in time.

He instead decided to pay the penalty himself because like I said man cannot make himself perfect. But all that was asked from man was to only witness somebody else die instead of him so that he won't commit sins anymore.

[tavosurfs]

“How come we don’t see that in court today? I mainly ask because I’m gonna go to jail” lol

[eliramirez]

Maybe doesn't make sense to us according to how we carry law, but the judge on this one is God. It was His desicion according to His law that it is acceptable to Him that His Son died for our sins so we can be save. It's up to the judge to accept the sactifice or not and according to God, Jesus sacrifies is acceptable.

[nacholauro]

I recommend for this topic, Ray Comfort

[brandonhopkins]

only virtue can rectify iniquity, only perfection can redeem shortcoming

[TheThirdApology]

I think you should have spent more time on this Frank because you turned his question around a bit. Civil law (involving money) isn't exactly equatable to criminal law (i.e. murder, rape, etc.).
I actually uploaded a video on this not too long ago examining it more critically if anyone wants to take a look at it. It's under "Is Christianity Cosmic Child Abuse?" God bless.

[firingallcylinders]

You know growing up in a Christian household, many faith based questions just seem old hat like oh yea Jesus died for us duh...but this man's question reminded me that it does need to be explained to many people, because on the surface it doesn't make sense. I'm glad Frank is out there doing this.
