The Priority of Love (part 3)
The Death of Christ was to fulfill us having Jesus mind that we may live through Him and not to pay our death penalty in place of us for sin.
Before any thing, there was God, so that the law of God did not exist before God. Now God is Love, so that God's law would be determined based on God's nature Love or be subject to what is Love. So a law that says that for a person to be forgiven someone else must die in their place is not a law that comes from God that it could be God's law. Once there is remorse Love forgives without meting out any penalty. One may ask for what reason did Christ die then. The answer is Christ lived sinfree and suffered unto death that we would learn of His Divine Nature Love and so have the mind that He had. As it is written in Phil.2:5-9 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
My dear Facebook friends let us live through Christ by having His mind in us and thus live through Him. Let us be crucified with Christ yet live by letting Christ live in us even as we live in this flesh by the faith (the revealed truths) of the Son of God - Gal.2:20
