  1. Penal Substitution Did Jesus Die in My Place?

  2. Did Jesus Die in Our Place? Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:5-8)

  3. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? • Jesus died for us – no Bible believer will deny this. • But what was the nature of His death? Did He die “in our place,” as a “substitute”? • This is a common theory, and many brethren believe it; yet it is not Biblical.

  4. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Punishment vs. Consequences for Sin • It is vital that we understand the difference between the punishment for sin & the consequences of sin • Misunderstanding this gave us the doctrine of original sin – the idea that we inherit the guilt of Adam’s sin

  5. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Four Deaths that Came as a Result of Sin • Physical death – consequence for sin; Adam’s sin caused all mankind to lose access to the tree of life (Genesis 3:22-24) • Spiritual death – consequence for sin; God can have no fellowship with sin (1 John 1:5-7); if not dealt with, spiritual death will lead to the second death

  6. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Four Deaths that Came as a Result of Sin • Second death – eternal punishment for sin (Revelation 20:13-15); based upon our deeds (sin) • Sacrifice for sin – consequence for sin; this was God’s plan for dealing with the problem of sin (Heb. 9:22); forgiveness provided in blood of Christ (Heb. 9:14; Eph. 1:7)

  7. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? What Happened when Jesus was Crucified? • Physical death? – Yes; but not as a substitute, we all still face physical death (Hebrews 9:27) • Spiritual death? – No; the Father was with Him, despite a common misunderstanding that the Father turned His back on Him (Matthew 27:46; Psalm 22:1,22-24)

  8. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? What Happened when Jesus was Crucified? • Second death? – Absolutely not; Jesus went to paradise (Luke 23:43), later ascended to heaven (Luke 24:50-51) • Sacrifice for sin? – Absolutely; this was His mission (Matt. 26:51-54)

  9. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Jesus’ Sacrifice: Propitiation not Substitution • Jesus’ death was necessary because of our sins (2 Corinthians 5:14) – but not to somehow take our place in physical death (we still die), spiritual death (anyone can still be separated from God as a result of their sin), or the second death (anyone can still be lost)

  10. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Jesus’ Sacrifice: Propitiation not Substitution • His death was a propitiating sacrifice – it appeased God, delaying His wrath, giving us time to repent.

  11. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.

  12. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

  13. 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

  14. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

  15. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 (NLT) So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

  16. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 (CJB) Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God! God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.”

  17. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Jesus’ Sacrifice: Propitiation not Substitution • His death was a propitiating sacrifice – it appeased God, delaying His wrath, giving us time to repent • But God’s wrath still exists

  18. Romans 2:4-6 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who "will render to each one according to his deeds":

  19. Did Jesus Die in Our Stead? Jesus’ Sacrifice: Propitiation not Substitution • His death was a propitiating sacrifice – it appeased God, delaying His wrath, giving us time to repent • God’s wrath still exists • Therefore we must repent & obey
