Some highlights that may clear up some things (to lurkers at least):
1) Christ's Death for sins satisfies an holy God's vengence against the transgressors (you and I), according to the scriptures (NOT PHILIP): "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". (Rom 3.23) "None is good not one". Everyone has broken all the commandment(s). Willful Ignorance, Pride, and Wandering thoughts, (for example) remind me of the gravity of my own abomination before a holy and just Creator.
2) The wages of sin is death and eternal seperation from God (i.e, 2nd death/Lake of Fire) (Romans 6.23)
3) While we were yet sinners Christ died for the ungodly (you and I are the ungodly ones as per Romans 3.23 above)
Christ's being sent out of heaven (out of God) then beaten to a pulp by us unsrupulous sinners and powers of darkness (demons) "the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world" (Rev 13).
4) On the 3rd day He rose again according to the scriptures and ascending to the right hand of God with all power and intercession for you and I TO CONFESS (before all). Speaking personally, I did not believe nor confess Christ would intercede for me in heaven until I first realized his coming down from heaven and being beaten to a pulp in my place.
5) Eternal Deliverance is promised to anyone (here) who publicly confesses (i.e., on this forum even) that Jesus is the Christ-Lamb that died, was buried, and rose again (1John 2.24 and Romans 10.9-10). (Again, speaking from personal experience, once I was enabled to make that confession, I saw my Salvation clearly in this matter)
