Nuggets from “An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith” by Dave Hunt – The Penalty Paid in Full

What happened in those hours of darkness as Christ hung upon the Cross will never be known by mankind. The suffering He endured as all the “waves and billows” (Psalm:42:7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
See All...) of God’s wrath swept over Him is beyond our comprehension. In the face of the most despicable display of the evil in the human heart, when man was doing his worst to his Creator, Christ took all our sins upon Himself and paid the penalty in full.

Christ did not gradually expire from the physical effects of the torture and crucifixion. He had said, “I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again” (John:10:17-18 [17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
See All...). When He had endured God’s full judgment for our sins, He who is God cried “with a loud voice” (Matthew:27:50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
See All...; Mark:15:37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
See All...; Luke:23:46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
See All...), “It is finished” (John:19:30When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
See All...). The Greed word He shouted in triumph was “tetelestai.” That word was stamped on promissory notes and invoices in Christ’s day. It meant “paid in full.”

Only if we accept that payment on our behalf can we be saved. “There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts:4:12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
See All...); “What must I do to be save?...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts:16:30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
See All...,31).
