Perhaps someone would use an analogy. And the context of Hebrews 2:9 is a good place to show that the death of Christ had a special design or aim for God's chosen people that it did not have for others. Who rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. He bore my sins. And I dwell on this because, if this is what you believe, then you are missing out on the depths of covenant love that God has for you in Christ by understanding it to be the same as the love he has for those who reject him. Paul puts it like this in Ephesians 5: Titus 2:14 speaks of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ ‘who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good works.’ Christ gave Himself to redeem a people, a particular people, for His own possession. He is author of. This is why Christianity is seen as a religion with a central message of redemption and reconciliation.
There are lots of reasons why this answer (that Jesus tasted death for everyone) is a sign of spiritual health. If you say to me, then, that at the cross Christ only accomplished for me what he accomplished for those who will suffer hell for their sins, then you strip the death of Jesus of its actual effective accomplishment on my behalf, and leave me with what?—an atonement that has lost its precious assuring power that my sins were really covered and the curse was really lifted and the wrath of God was really removed. So here the reason given for the incarnation and the death of Jesus (in verse 14) is that the "children" share in flesh and blood. John 10:11 also, ‘I am the good Shepherd. I believe one of the earlier things in the writings of Moses concerning Jesus is our scripture reading.
God did not make the woman from Adam's skull to rule him, nor from his foot to be trodden under by him, but from his side to be cherished and protected by him. You can see this in the next verses too. Let's let him answer as we trace his thought in the next verses. It is healthy and right to believe that everyone who has faith—no matter what race or education or intelligence or social class or former religion—everyone who puts faith in Jesus Christ is justified and accepted with God on the basis of Jesus' shed blood. No one can say that. It is not narrow and confined in its affections. We do not believe Adam and Eve evolved through a mystical process of "natural selection"; we believe that they were CREATED. But what would it mean to say of an unbeliever in hell that Christ died for his sins? Likewise, and this is the title for the morning message: Look with me at four aspects of the creation of Adam's wife that point to Christ sacrificing Himself for the church: Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. They don't just become children by choosing Christ. March - Pastor's Wife Appreciation Month. 1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. Would we mean that the debt for his sins was paid?
They cannot and they will not fall on my head in judgment. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. John 11:51-52 speaks of this by saying the cross gathered into one people the children of God who were scattered abroad. But that is not true. The church is comprised of those who have trusted in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and have received eternal life.

These "children of God" that Christ died to gather are the "sons" that God is leading to glory through the death of Christ in Hebrews 2:10. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. As I turned from Nicollet Mall onto Sixth Street we were singing the second stanza of "Crown Him with Many Crowns." Because the faith of everyone who believes was purchased by the death of Christ. In other words the design of God—the aim and purpose of God—in sending Christ to die was particularly to lead his children from sin and death and hell to glory.
Hebrews 9:28 says, "Christ also [was] offered once to bear the sins of many." The ticket for heaven which Jesus obtained for me by his blood is the wiping out of all my sins, covering them, bearing them in his own body, so that they can never bring me to ruin—can never be brought up against me again—never.
So people who reject Jesus really will be punished for their specific sins, not just for rejecting Jesus. That's a high price to pay in order to say that Christ tasted death for everyone in the same way. So glory in this, Christian. How did Jesus comfort and stabilize his disciples when he went to die? Let it be known and heard very clearly: God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes on him—I say it again: whoever believes in him—should not perish but have eternal life. What is the group that the writer has in mind: all of humanity without any distinction, or some other group? God put Adam to sleep, opened His side, and made his bride. Why did He come? The good Shepherd lays His life down (for who?) This is exactly the way Jesus spoke of his own disciples in the prayer of John 17:6: "I manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou gavest Me out of the world; Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to Me." Rev. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high. Your answer probably would be, "Because you have to receive the gift of salvation; you have to believe in Christ in order for his death to count for you." The death of Jesus is for the bride of Christ in a different way than it is for those who perish. Charles Spurgeon said it well, ‘Some men cannot endure to hear the doctrine of election. The title of the message this morning is, "For Whom Did Jesus Taste Death?" These words seem to signal that the writer of this hymn believes that Christ had a design to really save a particular group of people by his death. Christ, the Bridegroom, has sacrificially and lovingly chosen the church to be His bride ( Ephesians 5:25–27 ).
In other words there is a precious and unfathomable covenant love between Christ and his bride that moved him to die for her. Many might defend, and even die for, the truths contained in the acronym TULIP. That's what we mean when we say he died for the church, his bride. the sheep.’ After saying this to the crowds Jesus a bit further on in 10:26 tells many who are listening to Him that they ‘are not among His sheep.’ Acts 20:28, ‘Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for (who?) We Christians say, "Christ died for our sins" (1 Corinthians 15:3). Which is why I said that there is something unhealthy about answering the question, "For whom did Jesus taste death?" Their sins are going to bring them to destruction and keep them from heaven; so their sins were not really canceled in the cross, and therefore the ticket was not purchased. It would be as though a wife insisted that her husband loved and sacrificed for her no differently than he loves and sacrifices for all the women in the world. To save His people, from their sins. ( Log Out / It sounds like there are some he came to save, and that for these the grave is defeated and eternal life is given. Change ). Sin is a slave master who tricks his subjects into eternal death. the Church of God, which He obtained (how?) 1 Timothy 4:10 Ephesians 5:25–27 Titus 2:14 John 10:15; 11:52; 17:6, 9, 19 Acts 20:28 Revelation 1:5; 3:9; 5:9 Romans 8:28–32 1 John 2:2 (compare John 11:52) 2 Peter 2:1, John Piper is founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary.
