Hell on earth ( Psalm 22 )

We finished last time by saying that we in our natural state are living under a cloud of God's  wrath,,in the here and now,that will also follow us ,even after death,in hell,from which there will be no escape,.So God did something very ,very, wonderful ,He sent his son , Jesus,who would die on the cross experiencing the wrath of God in our stead, in Galatians 3 v 13 we read, 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us'.Bruce Milne  wrote the following,''For Christ to be a complete and sufficient Saviour He must save us from every effect of our sins......then he must, of necessity, in some way and at some point, bear the pains and terrors of hell.Only thus are we delivered from them.. Thus the cross was precisely ,as Calvin argues, 'hell on earth'.So let me finish now by declaring,'that God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish , but have everlasting life .  ( John 3 v 16 )
