Day 20- Fighting For Me

Well day 20 and it's Easter Eve and I love the thought that Jesus was in Hell at this moment fighting for me. I mean He took my place down there and was my sacrifice once and for all. I will tell people that Jesus will not forgive you today for your sins and He won't forgive you tomorrow either. The reason He won't forgive you is because He already has forgiven you. The deed is done and accomplished. I heard a preacher say once that Christianity isn't a religion of doing, it's a religion of DONE. We don't have to wonder about the blessings that Christ is going to give us, He already has given them to us but we just have to be willing to receive them. It tells us that Jesus went down and preached to lost souls within the three days He was down there. Can you imagine that sermon? I would definitely like a copy of that, I would pay good money for something like that. It is thought to be the souls that went to Hell in between the 400 years that God was silent or the time from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Could you imagine what Jesus said to them "I'm your only and absolutely last chance!" I don't know if that is it exactly but I would assume it went something like that. It must have been quite a sight to behold. I know though that He was down there and I would imagine fighting the damned. What a battle that must have been, I mean I would imagine Satan's army of darkness was ready to receive Him down there and was probably throwing everything they had at Him. However we know that He came forth triumphant! He overcame Hell's best in only 3 days! Wow what a Jesus! I mean everything that the devil had he threw it at Jesus and it might have made it difficult on Jesus it was not enough to keep Him down there forever or even more than 3 days. I am so thankful that He was fighting for me, and that I do not have to endure that fight or go through that pain. That I have a savior who fought for me! Thank you Jesus for taking upon those wounds, not only physical but spiritual, for me. Me who is a sinner that is only saved by your grace and have you living inside of me sourcing and controlling. Take that fighting passion you had and source that through me in every area of my life and let me be the passion people need in an impassioned world!

I suggest you reconsider the idea that satan and his hoards are in hell. he does not reside in hell, he does not rule in hell.

Search the scriptures for anything to support the idea that he is. He fears hell and in the future will be eternally tormented there.

I noted in another topic that you seem to have a clear regard for scripture. Please search for scriptural support for the views you have expressed on the devil tormenting Jesus in hell.

This teaching is anti-scriptural.

Sorry if I sound harsh on this topic - but it's a particular "pet hate" of mine.

Bless you mate
