Brought to God

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.
1 Peter 3:18

Brought to God
In today’s Bible verse we can recognise several results of the work of redemption that the Lord Jesus accomplished on the cross.

Christ suffered once for sins because God in His holiness demands just punishment for every offence. By His work on the cross, the Lord Jesus fully restored the glory of God that had been defiled by the sins of His creatures. The word “once” indicates that His sacrifice need never be repeated. His work of redemption stands complete forever. When His blood was shed, He fully complied with all God’s holy requirements. This is propitiation.

Christ, the righteous, suffered for the unrighteous. He took our place on the cross as guilty sinners before God. He endured there the just punishment we deserved for our wrongs. He took our sins upon Himself to be judged by God for them. That is substitution.

Through His suffering and death on the cross, the Lord Jesus brought us to God. There was a great gulf between us and the holy God which we could not bridge. Therefore, the Saviour had to suffer and die to give us access to God. Through faith in Him and His work on the cross, we have come to a position of nearness to God. We may now call Him our Father because we are in a new intimate relationship with Him. This is reconciliation.

Today’s reading: 1 Samuel 18:10-30 · Psalms 105:1-22

Although it is an unpleasant experience to be a defeated contender, becoming an ex-champion is a much more grievous experience.
