Episode notes
This is a question that deals with very deep things of God. The Scripture gives a lot of evidence to both the aspects of Christ's death as well as the very nature of Christ as God Himself. As such, we cannot be exhaustive in such a short space to deal with everything fully here. What we have sought to do is to give sufficient explanations to the various facets of this question, but we would urge the listener to ask followup questions as needed.
The answers to this question are of eternal importance, so we urge ourselves to really and deeply contemplate what Scripture says about these things so that we might not fall short in our understanding of what is required for our salvation.
Resource: Full Of Eyes does an incredible animation trilogy to some various songs that is very helpful to vividly depict the nature of Christ's substitutionary death (His dying in our place). These videos are extremely helpful to accurately depict the theology of what the Bible describes happening for the sinner in the process of his salvation.
