WHAT IS GUARANTEED BY THE RANSOM? Part 3

WHAT IS GUARANTEED BY THE RANSOM? Part 3

As seen by our previous post, Christ’s death became the offset and cancellation of the legal sentence against man, but it did not and was not intended to remove his degradation. Man’s sentence, recorded in the race, mentally, morally and physically, is still in evidence all about us, and will continue in evidence even after the Millennial reign has begun, and until the gradual processes of “blotting out” these sins shall, by the close of the Millennium, have completely obliterated…

If Christ’s death did not affect the cancellation of man’s sins, wherein lies the fault?

“BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOREVER MORE.” Part 1 – REV. 1:18. – JOHN 20:11-18. Not only was it necessary that Christ should rise from the dead and become alive forevermore in order to accomplish the great work planned of God and foretold in the prophets, and secured by his own sacrifice, but it was necessary also that indubitable proofs of his resurrection should be given to his disciples, for themselves and for us through them. The necessity for this lay…
