The Great Exchange Cup for Cup 1 Peter

The Great Exchange “Cup for Cup” 1 Peter 1: 3 -4

The Great Exchange

1 Peter 1: 3 -4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you…”

Hebrews 1: 3 “The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being…”

“In His Great Mercy…”

The Rift

1. All Human Beings are Sinners. “All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. ” Romans 5: 12: “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned…”

Galatians 5: 19 -21 19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

2. Sin must be atoned for. “Without blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. ”

3. God Himself would drink that cup. 1 Peter 1: 18: “You were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. ” 1 Peter 2: 24: “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree. ”

“He has given us new birth”

Ephesians 2: 1 “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins…”

“He has given us new birth into a living hope…”

1 Peter 1: 13 “Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. ”

“through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…”

“By raising Christ from the dead, God the Father was in effect saying that he approved of Christ’s work of suffering and dying for our sins, that his work was completed, and that Christ no longer had any need to remain dead. There was no penalty left to pay for sin, no more wrath of God to bear, no more guilt or liability to punishment – all had been completely paid for, and no guilt remained. ”

1 Corinthians 15: 3 -8 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

“Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. ”

then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 1 Since,

HAPPY EASTER!
