What Jesus Did in His Death
In 1 Peter 3:18-22, we see the incredible power of Jesus’ death and resurrection. His sacrifice was a world-changing, life-transforming act of redemption.
1. Jesus Died for Our Sin
Every person is a sinner in need of salvation.
The penalty of sin is death, and only Jesus could pay the price.
On the cross, He endured the suffering of hell so that we could be saved from God’s judgment.
His death wasn’t just about forgiveness—it was about reuniting us with Himself.
2. Jesus Preached in Hell
After His death, Jesus declared victory over sin and death, demonstrating His authority even in the realm of the dead.
3. Jesus Changes Lives
Through Him, we receive the baptism of repentance, turning away from sin.
He gives us the baptism of a resurrected life, empowering us to live for Him.
4. Jesus Arose to Glory
The cross wasn’t the end—His resurrection proved His victory!
Now, He reigns in glory, offering eternal life to all who believe.
Jesus' death wasn’t just an event—it was a divine mission to rescue, redeem, and restore. Will you live in the power of His victory?
“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.”
