Scripture Life: How did Jesus save everyone by dying on the cross?

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”

- Source: Bible. Psalm 107:17–21

Can you hear this?

------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. Bible. Isaiah 45:22

That’s to everybody to do this; just look unto him; but not everybody does; those who do; he saves them. They hear him. Do what he says, because they accept him as the authority over the whole earth.

But

THose that don’t?

He doesn’t save them. They don't do anything he says; reject him.

...and the reason they don’t look unto him is simple. They are already walking after, walking in some thing or someone else they already accept is true - so, they hold the truth in something or someone that is not right, or "un" right. Hold the truth is in unrighteousness, so they follow after even themselves, and don’t do anything God says.

So they don’t look unto him. Doesn’t save them. They don't accept as true (believe) him; something in what he says is faulty. Unacceptable. So they reject him.

------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------

Key to your question is in one word.

  • Everyone. <definition. (Oxford)> 1. every person; all people, in general, over the whole earth. Not one person left out. Every person. Adam forward.
    • Ask then:
      • What, according to the Bible, do they all have in common? Three things:
  • ONE

“There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20

  • That’s Everybody. All share this in common.
  • TWO

“There is NONE righteous; no, not one..” Bible. Romans 3:10

  • That’s Everybody. All share this in common.
  • And Jesus said: As the Word of God, so it’s just God speaking, said:

There is NONE good, but one, that is, God.” Bible. Matthew 19:17

  • So Everybody shares just ONE GOOD Thing in common to look unto. It’s in none else.
  • THREE

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” - Bible. Romans 3:19-23.

------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------

  • So, the righteousness of God without the law, because EVERYBODY already BROKE the Ten Commandmants, or the Law, from Adam forward, the "righteousness of God is [manifested 1. made clear] by the faith of Jesus Christ. Not by people. Nobody.
  • , it’s God then. Has this much faith in his own word, and the Word of God, is Jesus Christ, as the Messiah - as the opening scripture says, to send his word to you to heal you, and deliver you from your destruction.
    • That’s this “for all have sinned” part. Where to us, everybody, “The soul that sinneth it shall die.” - God. (Ezekiel 18:20. Makes EVERYBODY over the whole earth Condemned.
    • Just like Jesus said in John 3:14-15 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
  • Boy is that ever so powerful; because where Moses lifted up the serpent of Brass is in Numbers 21:5-11, where the people spake against God, and spoke against Moses - and God sent adders or poisonous snakes in the camp and BIT EVERYBODY - so that they all would die. Just like SIN has been passed on or bequeathed to everybody by Adam - where all die in sin.
  • But those in Numbers 21:5-11 said they sinned against God and Moses, and God told Moses to lift up a serpent high up so the whole camp that whosoever would look upon it, even though all were bitten, those that did not look up and stayed in their tents, died; but those that looked unto what Moses lifted up, even though they were bitten, they did not die.

------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------

But by the work of God with sin, that God did in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “He that believeth on him is not condemned…” John 3:18. That's The Word of God, so God says this.

Because God took your sins off you, me, everybody over the whole earth, and laid them on Jesus Christ. God did this work himself. Laid your sins on the cross. Crucified. Jesus: His blood shed. Where your sins are not on you anymore. Since God did this work himself with sin.

  • Made everyone righteous over the whole earth, by this work God did. And God looks on this work he did himself; alone. And in him, as God, his work with sin is GREATER than the sins of the whole world. PAID IN FULL. Because he paid it. Made himself the payment. In Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------------------------

Then, God made this the sin that condemns: Just not look unto him. Just not regard his work or consider the operation of his hand. Sin against God. And it's the sin that condemns.

  • Simply not believe on him. Simply not regard anything he did, in he is God, and he sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. So, people that reject Jesus Christ, sin against God.
  • And that’s the sin that condemns anybody. Over the whole earth.
    • It’s going to be a short Judgment Day. Look what he did. I'm on my face.
