Jesus atonement by His death is not enough to save anyone. We are saved by His life working in us, and we do not receive His life unless we put our trust in Jesus Christ.
brother there’s a lot of good and agreement with what your saying .
do you know john 3;16? Look at what Jesus is really saying here just before about Moses
“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even
the Son of man which is in heaven. And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:13-17
You know what he’s saying I’m going to assume but here is what here referring to the people had been on constant rebellion against the lord always complaining .
God gave them bread from heaven , they complained so he gave them meat from heaven , they complained he ( see exodus 23:20-21) finally got tired of it and so
“And the people
spake against God, and against ( mediator )
Moses,
Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. ( they repented )
And
Moses prayed for the people. ( not Jesus the perfect man’s intercession it Moses for the people )
And
the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
And
Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”
Numbers 21:5-9 KJV
just as God said every man who looks to Jesus death for thier sins is going to live even if they haven’t gotten everything all lined out yet is the point those people lives through it but it wasn’t because they were suddenly wo thiit sin but t he had repented and knew they did wrong
it’s not just his life but
his death and then his resurrection .
It’s not just his death like you’re saying I totally agree so did Paul the apostle in his letters.
remember brother
“For every one that useth milk is
unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. ( he’s Gods babe already just ain’t grown up and matured )
But
strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
Hebrews 5:13-14 KJV
“And
that servant, which knew his Lord's will, and
prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
But
he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto
whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”
Luke 12:47-48 KJV
