Why Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for the sin of humanity?
Jesus is the ONLY One who can pay for the sin of humanity as Jesus is the ONLY One who meets the divine criteria for acceptable sacrifice for sin, sinlessness…void spot or blemish or wrinkle. This “sinless blood atonement” was first pictured for us in Genesis 3:21 as Elohim, Himself, shed innocent blood to cover the sin of Adam and Eve while Elohim rejected Adam’s attempt to cover his own sin by the works of his hands, fig leaves. Jesus is the spotless, sinless, Lamb of Elohim who was slain “before the foundation of the World” (Revelation 13:8). The war between Jesus and Satan was openly declared by the Holy Spirit in Genesis 3:15 as our Messiah would enter Time through the seed of a virgin woman absent the seed of man which passes the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12).
Jesus entered Time “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b) and this plan was ordained before Genesis 1:1. The entirety of Biblical eschatology is predicated upon Elohim’s response to Satan’s great rebellion in the Kingdom; in fact, the Genesis creation narrative is a response to Satan’s rebellion as our Heavens and Earth are a temporary repository for the Great Kingdom War as Elohim restores holiness and peace to His own Heavenly Kingdom.
Our entire existence, causation for same, is predicated upon WAR!
Elohim’s selfless love observed at Golgotha is the divine response to Satan’s rebellion and Elohim’s plan for victory over evil. Elohim has displayed His divine LOVE for His created beings by giving Himself on the alter through suffering and death…this unfathomable sacrifice by Elohim will be THE eternal defining memory of our Creator’s faithfulness that will endure throughout Eternity as we dwell with Him in the New Jerusalem…worthy is the Lamb.
