Expresssions of Faith: Imprisoned Spirits

After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits

(1 Peter 3:19 NIV)

Imprisoned Spirits

Many non-Christians consider God as a harsh autocrat.

They ask.

1. How can Jesus be the only way to salvation?
2. What about all the people who lived and died before Him?

Peter is very clear about Christ’s actions after His resurrection.

• Jesus took His message to the souls who had died before His ministry.
• They all had a chance to accept Him. 

What must it have been like to spend thousands of years in the torment of uncertainty? There’s no indication that these souls were in hell. But, they were not in heaven either.

What must have been the relief to feel God's love as they accepted Christ's message and invitation.

What must be the torment be if they rejected Christ’s message and FOREVER exist completely absent God's love?

• You must choose to accept or reject Christ’s offer of forgiveness.
• I must choose to accept or reject Christ’s offer of forgiveness.

Each human has to make that choice.

Why not choose to accept Christ right now?
