The Christian message says that sin has a price that must be paid and even nature proves that every single thing requires a sacrifice or price to be paid.

The farmer must pay the price by laboring to get his harvest.

For there to be light, good roads, good economy, good governance there must be a price to be paid.
Breaking a law has a consequence, when you blow a wall with you uncovered fist, you feel pain as a consequence.
When you touch a naked live wire you get get electrocuted. When you jump from a height there is a consequence.
Heavy metals are not suppose to fly, for them to fly a price must be paid.

What then is the consequence of sin?

What is the price that must be paid for redemption?

Because God is the creator of the Law he can never allow it to be broken without a consequence, this is called justice.

Someone might say why will God not just forgive without any price being paid.
No, God cannot just forgive without paying the full price of sin because God is just.
Justice simply means fulling the requirement of the Law.

Genesis 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

What is the price for sin?

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Why is the price of sin so high?

1 Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
One of the distinct character of the Christian God is holiness.
Holiness means God hates sin neither does he tolerate sin.

The price of sin is so high because God is so holy.

If you jump from a height of 1meters you can handly feel a thing, but if you jump from a height of say, 20 meters you brake your legs and might be lucky to escape death.

Because God is so holy, the price of sin is also so high by that way God displeasure against sin is known.


God keeps record of the sins of humans and in due course humanity would be served God's justice.

Jesus paid the price for sin
Actually Jesus is God's Mercy to humanity.

How could Jesus pay the price of sin and satisfy God's justice?
1. Jesus was made in human form

2. God did what is called transfer. In nature it is possible to transfer certain things for example heat can be transfered from one medium to another.
In God's justice system, the consequence of sin can be transfered from one person to another if the following criteria are meant

a. The one who is taking the consequence must willingly choose to, must not be under duress.
b. That person itself must be free from sin.
c. Must have the power/courage to carry it to the end without error.


Hence certain animals in the old testament were used to illustrate this.
1. A lamb was used as a sacrifice, the lamb represent sinlessness or perfection
2. A female sheep, which represent willingness.
3. A ram which is a male sheep, it represent the fact that it must be a man not a woman since sin was introduced through a man there sin must be paid for by a man.
4. A goat, this represent the person carrying the sin.
5. Ox or bull, it represent capability, an ox is like a tractor in the modern sense. Capable and dependable.

There are many more symbols with their various meanings.

Jesus fulfilled all the requirements,
Jesus was born sinless, He was a man, He maintained his sinlessness to the end, he willingly choose to do it. Jesus fulfilled every requirement of God's holiness.

By this God's justice was fulfilled, God's holiness was upheld and the price for sin was paid hence God's love demonstrated without compromise. Brilliant!

But however, the gift of salvation is not forced on any man he or she must receive it by accepting Jesus and his work, and therefore be reconciled with God.

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

what happens to those who reject Jesus for such they will bear their sin, they would have to face the holy and just God.
Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Hebrews

12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

That is right

Unless the humans you believe are going to heaven without free will human beings will break any law they come across, divine or not.

And if somehow they can be made in a way not to sin it means that's gods intention.

Clean your eyes of religion my friend and live your life as best as you're able to.

davien:
Unless the humans you believe are going to heaven without free will human beings will break any law they come across, divine or not.

And if somehow they can be made in a way not to sin it means that's gods intention....

And that is the beauty and sweetness of the Win of a man who knowing he could break Laws, yet he refuses to do so.

Jesus paid the ultimate price

Yes

Which price does that include why some are committing sin and are walking free. Ur father is the creator of sin he invented imbalance. He favoured some while hosting others. Ur God and the devil are one . Humans are just a resource to these ppl that they derive energy from.

Quick question!

Why did your God had to kill his son when Satan should have been killed instead as the instigator of sin?

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." - 2 Corinthians 5:10

Jesus paid the price of sin so that anyone who believes on him will be saved.
