Thought Questions 1. How could one Mans death pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind? I have lived a terrible life of sin. I am afraid God would have to do something very special to atone for someone so evil.Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned. Because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and since all have sinned, therefore something special is required for every person who has been born. Only One whose life is equal to all mankind could die for the sins of the race. Because Jesus is the Creator and Author of all life, the life He laid down was equivalent to the lives of all people who would ever live. Not only did atonement have to be made by One whose life could stand for all other created beings, but the One who died the atoning death had to be able to rise from that death. Why? In order to administer the benefits of the atonement to all who would apply for it in faith. Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25. - See more at: amazingfacts.org/media-library/study-guide/e/4980/t/rescue-from-above.aspx#sthash.4nefXc0D.dpuf
