GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION
“For Christ also died for
sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to
God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit…” (1 Peter
3:18 RSV)
The cross has become the central symbol of the Christian faith. It is truly amazing that such a symbol of torture devised by theRoman Empire to
inflict cruel punishment on common criminals would become the most recognizable
symbol of love and grace in the world. However, for God’s plan of redemption to
be complete, it was not only necessary for Jesus to live and walk among us, but
also that He die for the sins of the world. He had to become the perfect,
sinless sacrifice which could atone for sins, once and for all.
