May 28, 2019 · The power of Jesus' answer lies in his opening question - who pays taxes, the children of rulers or their servants/subjects? He doesn't mention what sort of taxes, therefore we can deduce that they are any and all taxes, whether by temples or governments.
Jan 4, 2022 · Answer. The Bible gives the good news that Jesus paid the price for our sin (Ephesians 1:7), yet in many ways we still suffer the consequences of our sins. For example, a drug dealer may become a Christian in prison, but that doesn’t mean he will be released from prison the next day—he will still experience the consequences of his past sin ...

Like all analogies, some aspects apply and some don’t. We have to ask in every case which ones do and which ones don’t. For example, it would be a terrible mistake, I think, to say that the use of the word ransom, which Jesus did use about his own death, means that there’s going to be an exchange of money between anybody and God. In fact, Peter wen...
Here’s the clue I’ve mentioned from the Old Testament about God being the recipient of a ransom. In Psalm 49:7–8, we read, “Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice” In Psalm 49:15, we then read, “But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he wi...
Here’s why I think the ransom was paid by God to God, and in what sense it was a ransom. The key text that is absolutely crucial, I think, is Romans 3:24–25. Here’s what it says: “[They] are justified by his grace as a gift” — that’s what it means to be treated graciously — “through the redemption” — the ransoming — “that is in Christ Jesus, whom G...
That sacrifice, Paul says, ransomed or redeemed people from the wrath of God. What a glorious gospel! Saved from the wrath of God! Romans 5:9says, “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” That’s the big issue.

Through Jesus’ blood, we are redeemed—freed from the power of sin and death. This verse emphasizes that our debt was paid through His sacrifice, and in that payment, we receive forgiveness. It’s not by our works but through the abundance of God’s grace that we are saved.
Nov 4, 2024 · The idea of someone else stepping in to pay off your debts might sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what some Bible verses suggest Jesus did for us.

Jan 4, 2022 · Either a finite creature (man) must pay for his sin for an infinite amount of time, or an infinite Being (Jesus) must pay for it once for all men for all time. There are no other options. A sin against an infinitely holy God requires an equally infinite satisfaction as payment, and even an eternity in hell will not dissipate God’s infinite ...
