Question: As Jesus Christ, what did You save us from? Why are You the redeemer?

God’s answer:

I saved the world from all iniquities. It is done.

Why is being saved from iniquities important? In the Chapter, Our Fall of Grace, God explains how and why sin causes us to die. The death that He speaks of is true death, when there is no life of God remaining in us - the very life that sustains everything. In other words, He saved the world from the possibility of death caused by sin. No one and nothing will ever die because of what He has done,

Note the word WORLD. His saving grace is all-inclusive. He saved us, He saved the fallen angels and consequently the world we are in, from the beginning to the end of time.

Question: Why was there a need for a Redeemer/ Savior?

God’s answer:

If I thought you could save yourselves,
why would I send you a Savior?

Meaning: It is impossible for us to save ourselves from committing sin.

Question: How exactly did You save us from our sins?

God’s answer:

Cup of Poison

 

Garden of Gethsemane

 
I ingested your sins. I am the antidote.

Meaning: The sculpture is in reference to the Agony in the Garden when Jesus asked that the cup be taken away from him.

How did Jesus Christ ingest our sins? During His passion and death, Jesus Christ took in everything that sin has done and can do to the farthest degree of evil. The story of his death speaks of the evil that we are capable of inflicting on each other.

We only see the physical pain and humiliation He suffered, which was horrendous. What is beyond description is what he had to endure and defeat internally –psychologically, emotionally and spiritually, on top of his physical sufferings. He allowed himself to experience every sin to the point of true death so he can defeat it.
