Wuest on Hebrews 1:3

I found this while using Kenneth Wuest's Word studies in the Greek in my study of the book of Hebrews. I thought it was a very fine compilation of the gospel. It not only discusses how we can live our lives on earth, but what happens inside of us here and also in the future life.


"When God saves a sinner, He breaks the power of the indwelling sinful nature at the moment the sinner places his faith in the Lord Jesus (Rom. 6). When that believer dies, he loses the sinful nature, and in his glorified body has only the divine nature. God also removes his guilt and penalty of sin and gives the believer a righteous standing. The Son of God made all this posible when He died on the Cross. His blood delivers the believer from the power of sin in this present life, and from the presence of sin in the future life. His blood removes the guilt and penalty of sin and cleanses the believer from its defilement. That is what is included in the act of our Lord making purification for sins [on the cross]."
