1John2:2 "2: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." Jesus became the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. The penalty for all sins has been satisfied by the Lord Jesus Christ. The only thing remaining for salvation and reconciliation before God is faith in the atoning blood of Jesus. When Jesus was near death on the cross, he cried out "My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me" This was the moment that the sins of mankind flowed upon Jesus and 'Jesus became sin so that we could become the sons of God through his righteousness'. In other words, he became what we are (sinners) so that we could become what his is, the righteous son of God. What a salvation and what a glorious Saviour and God we have. Before this moment of atoning for our sins on the Cross, Christ had been in eternal fellowship with God the Father. When the sins of mankind flowed upon Jesus, the rejection that all men deserved for their sins then flowed upon God. For the first time in all eternity, God turned his face from Christ and Jesus cried "My, my God, what hast thou forsaken me"! Jesus had always called God father up to this point, but here Jesus "becomes sin" and sees the Father as God and separate. He became what we are so that we could become what he is!

I Tim 4:10,11 "10: For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11: These things command and teach. " When we trust and uphold the living God (Jesus the son), when we preach the Gospel of Christ without favor and fear, when we unfold the spiritual truths of the Kingdom, the bible and God's hand in history, persecution and revilement will come. We can never preach the Gospel outside the context of human society and her tensions of war, hatred and strife. To insist that Christ is the only door to the Kingdom of God will always bring strife and hatred. You can speak of a universal and generic "god" and there will be mostly smiles, but when you bring up the name of Jesus it antagonizes many, particularly the antichrist Jews! Moslems are not offended by the name of Jesus, but Jews are. Jews everywhere, including Israel, are fanatically opposed to positive mention of the name of Jesus. Why? Because Satan knows there is power in the name of Jesus! His name brings persecution and salvation! Paul and the other disciples and Apostles faced the same things in the first century. The Apostles created such strife by their teachings that many were murdered by the pagans and antichrist Jews of the first century. The Jews who rejected Christ in the first century spread lies and slander against him and persecuted Christians everywhere in the Roman Empire. The antichrist pagans and Jews do the same today. The leaders of the opposition against Christ in almost every nation are the Jews. In the Soviet Union tens of millions of Christian were "reproached" to the point of murder by the Jewish/Communist revolutionaries. Hatred against Christ and Christianity was the focal point of hatred for these communist butchers.

1 Cor. 3:10-15 "10: According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11: For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12: Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13: Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14: If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15: If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. The cornerstone of the foundation is Christ, the Apostles and prophets the footing and remaining part of the foundation and the bricks that makeup the remaining part of the structure, the Christians. Man is called as co-builder of the Kingdom of God by his preaching, teaching, and general building of the Kingdom. We help build the Kingdom by first bringing other to Christ and then giving them the treasures of the Church--the Bible, the Worship (Liturgical services), the works of faith and charity, and the teachings given by the Holy Spirit century after century. It is our obligation to transmit the entire treasury of Christianity to the next generation of Christians so that they can continue with cc-building of the Kingdom with Christ. Although we are saved by faith in Christ only, we will be judged by our works. It will not be a judgment of our salvation but a judgment of our rewards in the Kingdom!
