Atonement and Original Sin



 
 
God is the only saviour:

"I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour." [Isaiah 43:11]

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." [Isaiah 45:22]


Man will be judged according to his own actions:

"The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." [Deuteronomy 24:16]

"But every one shall die for his own iniquity" [Jeremiah 31:30]

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die." [Ezekiel 18:20-21]

"Judge not, that ye be not judged For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." [Matthew 7:1-2]

"Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." [1 Corinthians 3:8]


God desires mercy not sacrifice:

"For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." [Hosea 6:6]

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." [Psalms 30:5]

"O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar." [Psalms 51:15-19]


Children are born sinless

"Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence." [Matthew 19:13-15]


Salvation comes by keeping the Law

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." [Matthew 5:17-20] ... (This is the way to salvation.)

Jesus showed them how to be more superior than the scribes and Pharisees:

"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly." [Matthew 6:16-18]

"Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." [John 14:23]

"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" [Luke 6:46]
