The modern view of the death of Jesus is that he died for our sins out of sympathy. The New Testament view is that he bore our sins by substitution: God \u201c\u0441\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u043d\u043e<\/em> him . . . to \u0431\u044b\u0442\u044c<\/em> sin.\u201d Our sins are removed because of the death of Jesus, and the explanation of his death is his obedience to his Father, not his sympathy with us. We are acceptable to God not because we\u2019ve obeyed or promised to give up things but because of his Son\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

We say that Jesus came to reveal the loving-kindness of God. The New Testament says that Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. Jesus never spoke of himself as one who\u2019d been sent to reveal the Father\u2019s sympathy. Instead, he spoke of himself as a stumbling block, as someone who came to erect new standards and place new demands on all who heard his word: \u201cIf I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin\u201d (John 15:22). The great stumbling blocks in modern spiritual life are our Lord\u2019s character and the demands of the Spirit. We think we\u2019d be happy if only God would stop demanding personal holiness. Maybe so, but we\u2019d be happy on the way to hell. It is God who puts the stumbling blocks in our path, and the stumbling over them awakens us.<\/p>\n

The idea that God died for me and therefore I go scot-free is never taught in the New Testament. What is taught is that \u201che died for all\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:15) and that, by identification with his death, I can be freed from sin and have his righteousness imparted to me (Galatians 2:20\u201321). The substitution taught in the New Testament is twofold: \u201cGod made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God<\/em>.\u201d It\u2019s not Christ for me unless I am determined to have Christ formed in me.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
