GOD - the Redeemer and Savior of the human race

Since Adam is the head of the human race, then after his fall sin entered into the life of humanity: "... one man's disobedience many were made sinners" (Romans 5:19). The greatest tragedy that has happened to the first people in Paradise, in its consequences in an infinite number of times worse than we can imagine ourselves.

The sin of our first parents - Adam and Eve - ripped original covenant between God and man, the whole human race subjected to God's curse forever darkened mind of man, his will corrupted, damaged in him the image of God, made in our nature seeds of every kind of disease, fatigue in the works , relaxation, grief, suffering, and finally, all condemned people to death, "For the wages of sin - death" (Romans 6.23) - death and bodily spiritual death (a spiritual death is to be understood that, tearing savage grace Union with God, the man could not have a true spiritual life, just as our body is not able to live without food, water, air).

Original sin brought disorder and nature around us. Land became less fertile, a man lost his dominion over nature. In the world there was a wide variety of negative effects that are commonly referred to physical harm. Still, the worst consequence of the fall of the first people at risk of both themselves and all their descendants - is doomed to eternal torment in hell. The sin of mankind - the gravest crime against God. And because the justice of God requires the sinner imminent punishment, means eternal torment in hell sinning mankind is in line with the truth of God.

Ever since Adam fell, neither he nor his descendants could not do anything to save the human race from all the evil that has brought humanity a crime to God's commandment.

The history of pre-Christian world shows that in all countries, in all ancient religions, people, feeling (even if not consciously, as it often was with many Gentiles) guilty in the Supreme Being, God sought to appease and bring him or that the victim . When was the slaughter of sacrificial animal, such as the ancient Israelites, who sacrifices aware that he is subject to death, but for him die innocent animal that carried his sins, though, of course, the blood of animal sacrifices could not wash away any sin human.

In order to save the human race from the penalty of sin on him tending, it was necessary:

- Satisfy the justice of God, which means Someone suffer the full penalty, which will determine the infinite truth of the Lord, for the sins of the world;

- Destroy sin and its consequences in the whole being of man;

- To update and renew our spiritual nature, spoiled by sin;

- Restore the union of man with God in the original purity;

- Destroy the evil effects of sin in the nature of foreign policy.

It is not difficult to understand that the One who could save humanity from all the consequences of sin, must himself be without sin, have the ability to bring the omnipotence and justice of God is infinitely great propitiatory sacrifice.

It has already been pointed out that none of the mere mortals could not save the human race. This is due primarily to the fact that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3: 23). In addition, the created manpower for such a grandiose affairs is extremely limited.

Angels, though sinless, though they have incomparably more powerful than men, but among the heavenly disembodied spirits there was no one who could save the human race fell in sin, to restore its original union with God. For both of the angels no one can bring a satisfactory sacrifice to God's justice for the sins of man, and the corruption of sin, to reconstruct our spiritual nature.

There remains one possibility to save the man, recreate it and clean from sin could only One who created it, that is, God Himself. Indeed, the ineffable goodness of God could not accept the fact that a person expects hell.

Omniscient God before the creation of man knew that he had sinned and eternity had a plan for our salvation.

For the salvation of man, God chose the tool that corresponds to the highest degree of infinite goodness, wisdom, truth, God. It consisted in the fact that the Second Person of the Holy Trinity - the only begotten Son of God freely willed to become man, to take away the sins of all the people, all of them suffer for what is actually righteous will of the Lord, so as to destroy our sins and revive the man, to eradicate harmful effects of all sins as in man, and in the surrounding universe.

Primordial will of God for our salvation was declared to Adam and Eve immediately after the fall. Then the question arises: why the Son of God came to earth to save the human race is not immediately after the original fall, and after thousands of years after this tragedy? Answer to this question is easy: it was necessary to prepare the human race to take the Savior. Needed no one millennium to let people know from experience the full depth of his fall, realize the futility in opposition to sin, convinced of the necessity of rebirth and salvation only through the Divine Redeemer and Savior.

To implement his plan of salvation of the human race God has chosen from all the nations of the world a peculiar people - the Jewish, the descendants of Abraham, the Old Testament righteous, and determined that the people are the living conditions under which it can maintain the true knowledge of God and the worship of God. Since the Jewish people God made a covenant, and gave him the law, said his revelation, he is the numerous miracles, raised up from among the Jewish prophets proclaimed God's chosen people the prophecy of the coming Savior revealed through various prototypes.

The prophets clearly and specifically predicted the birth of Christ the Savior in Bethlehem (Micah 5, 2), His supernatural birth without her husband of a virgin (Isaiah 7, 14), the time of His appearance on earth (Daniel 9, 2-27), pointed to the phenomenon Lord Jesus John the Baptist, who was to prepare the way of the Savior's mortal ministry (Isaiah 40, 3-5; Mal. 3, 1). Were predicted and many of the events and circumstances of the life of Christ. In particular, the worship of the Son of God, the Magi (Ps. 71, 10), the beginning of the preaching of the Savior in Galilee (Isaiah 9, 1-2), many of the miracles of Jesus (Isaiah 35, 3-6), the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Zechariah 9 , 9), Judas (Ps. 40, 10), and that Jesus Christ would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11, 12-13). Reading the 21st Psalm, felt as though the Psalmist Davyd was himself at the Cross of Christ. Clearly and definitively describes the suffering on the cross of Jesus Christ in chapter 53 of the book of Isaiah, which is often called the Old Testament evangelist. The Prophet also predicted the coming of the Son of God into Hell and His resurrection from the dead (Psalm 15, 10), the ascension of the spiritual heaven (Isaiah 52, 13).

When it came time specified in the council of God, to make a "great mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh" (1 Tim. 3, 16), ie, the incarnation of the Son of God took place, meaning that the Son of God was pleased to take human flesh with all its weaknesses, except for sin. And the Lord is not only embodied, but became man, that is, has not only the body but also the soul of man is become true man, continuing to be the true God. Therefore, Jesus Christ is the God-man. God and Man in Christ, united forever in a single person or hypostasis. Christ himself is aware of a single person - God in the flesh. In the Mystery of the Incarnation God came down to man to man to build up God.

Christ as man has his will, but it is in full accord with His divine will. Deified humanity of Christ, taken in the unity of power and the power of God.

When Jesus Christ was thirty years old, he was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River and out into His public ministry for the salvation of the human race. To facilitate the learning of the great man of the work of our salvation, which God made Christ, from ancient times it is commonly viewed from three sides, namely as troycheskoe ministry of the Savior: prophetic, royal, the high priest.

As the prophet Jesus Christ proclaimed to people God's will for their salvation, preaching the gospel - the Kingdom of God of evangelism, taught people to a Christian way of life.

Christ as King proved necessary for our salvation power.

High priestly ministry of Jesus Christ is that He offered Himself as a sacrifice for the reconciliation of men with God.

In the Old Testament the high priest of the Church was an intercessor before God for the Jewish people. Once a year, he entered the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem with the blood of a sacrificial animal for sprinkling ochistilischa in order to clear himself and his people from their sins.

Christ, being himself without sin, the sins of the world, took not in the sense that Sam was a sinner, and that bore the brunt of human sin and all its consequences, has undergone all that defined the justice of God as a punishment for sins rights, and thus became the source of our deliverance from sin, justification, cleansing.

High priestly ministry of Jesus Christ embraces the whole of his earthly life with all its sorrows and suffering - from the Incarnation to the death on the cross. The whole life of the Savior on the ground - one indissoluble deed of redemption and salvation of sinful humanity. But central to the redemptive work of Christ took His dying and suffering crucifixion, which actually is a victim of redemption and salvation of mankind. The sole motive of God for salvation of the human race was his boundless love for people.

God is not in any way, and never be able to forgive sins and to forgive the person without killing them. Because otherwise it would mean reconciliation with God by our sins, and not release us from the burden of sin.

Limited human mind can never comprehend the depth of the mystery of our salvation. We do not understand the essence of redemptive feat of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this mystery, "angels desire to look into" (1 Pet. 1, 12). People just kind of half open curtain, behind which hid this divine mystery.

For the salvation of man had to make the opposite of what happened during his fall. Disobedience to the Creator replace perfect obedience to Him, disobedience to the will of the Lord - entirely his will and complete renunciation of his will, the search for independence from God - the perfect love of God. All this made the Savior of the world and the Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered for our salvation, double cross - the cross of voluntary suffering and the Cross of absolute obedience to the will of the Heavenly Father.

In contrast to all the people for whom the suffering and death are the inevitable consequence of original sin and personal sins, the sinless Christ was free from all sorrows and sufferings that he endured, as well, and death had no power over the Son of God. If Christ tasted death, it was only because he had voluntarily submitted himself to her power. The death of Jesus Christ is the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Son of Man came to "give his life a ransom for many" (Mt 20, 28). Christ the Saviour, His death gave the truth of God as if a ransom for us. Each person had to be punished for their sins - eternal death, that is, to suffering eternal damnation in hell. But the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus was a redemption fee or a means of liberation sinners from this terrible punishment. The death of the Son of God replaced the eternal death of each person.

St. Paul wrote to the Christians of Ephesus that "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" (Ephesians 1, 7). In the Epistle of St. an. Paul told the Galatians: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law" (3, 13). This is the truth of Christ preacher bogorevnostnomu owned and other statements that Christ - our Redeemer: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all" (1 Tim. 2, 5-6 ), "Knowing that not perishable silver or gold ... but with the precious blood of Christ" (1 Pet. 1, 18-19), "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Romans 3 , 24).

In the word of God we find in other places on this topic: "Redeemer - Holy One of Israel, God of the whole earth shall he be called" (Isaiah 54, 5), "... You were slain, and the blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation "(Revelation 5, 9).

Innocent death of Jesus Christ was a price, a ransom for the sins of the people responsible to justice of God's truth. Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, extends to all people, for all sins for all time. However great a sinner was not this or that person, to cleanse it from all his sins and iniquities of Christ's sacrifice enough. Salutary effect of Atonement the Son of God on Calvary's Cross, extends to all the consequences of sin. Cavalry sacrifice of Christ the God-man strong release the sinner from the bondage of sin and the devil, "... that the death (of Christ) to deprive the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2,14-15).

Dues of sin is death of body and spirit. But on both these types of death marked the beginning of the victory of the atoning death of the Savior.

For the fall of man and the earth all creation were cursed by God and bustle to this day bear this onerous burden. But as a result of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ there was hope, "that the creation itself will be liberated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Romans 8.21).

In the salvation of the human race was attended by all the Persons of the Blessed Trinity. The question of the ministry of the Son of God to carry out our salvation to give due attention to this topic. We now present evidence of Scripture to participate in the work of redemption God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.

Part of God the Father in the salvation of the human race can be seen from the conversation of Christ with St. Philip, the Savior says, "Do not you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works "(John 14.10). God the Father "did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all" (Romans 8:32). When the Lord Jesus Christ was baptized in the Jordan, the heavens were opened to Him, and God the Father testified, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17).

The participation of the Holy Spirit in our salvation has repeatedly confirmed in the pages of the Holy Bible. Here are some of them. "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption" (Ephesians 4.30). "He (Christ) has saved us not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior" (Titus 3.5-6) . Christ the Savior is "the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God ..." (Hebrews 9.14).

The saving power of Christ's sacrifice extends though at all, but not all people will be saved, but only those who have faith in God, recognize the Son of God Jesus Christ as your Savior, the commandments of God, belong to the Church of Christ and fulfill its laws and regulations, have practical Christian spiritual life, are actively fighting with the sinful inclinations of the flesh, heart, will, regularly sincerely repent of their sins in confession from his spiritual father - a priest, conduct the kind of lifestyle that are awarded after Confession Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ.
