13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Col. 2:13-15 NKJ)
The requirements of the Law, the "debt certificate" of sin as it were, were all the Law's curses against failure to keep it.
"Cursed is the man who does not keep ALL the things written in the Law to do it."
And again we are specifically told this is the curse Jesus became on the Cross:
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree1 "), (Gal. 3:13 NKJ)
This is why we can say:
"Christ is the end of the Law for all who believe,"
...this is why we can say,
"Through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God: I have been crucified with Christ."
And notice in Colossians 2:15 the payment of the sin debt is directly connected to disarming principalities and powers, and how Christ triumphed over them.
This is because the only legal thing Satan has over us is the sin debt, the judgment of our wrong doing before God.
Jesus took the cup of his blood as the "remission of sins," the cup he said he must drink, the ransom he said he must make, to save his people from their sins.
You can't save people from the sins by ignoring and violating justice: that's not how equity works, that's not a just system.
This is why it is said, the Law brings wrath, for the Law brings the knowledge of sin.
How did God view His own death, atonement for sin ?
1- Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
2-No man takes my life I lay it down and I will take it up again- John 10:18
3- I lay My life down for the sheep- John 10:15
4- Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up again. John 2:19
5-just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many- Matthew 20:28
6-I Am the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep- substitution, John 10:11
7-Jesus said in John 11:50- nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish- substitution
8-Jesus tells His disciples the cup of suffering that awaited Him and that they too would also drink of this cup- Matthew 20
9-This is my blood of the Covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins- Matthew 26:28
10- Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing- Luke 23:34
Acts 2:23
this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
Acts 2:36
“Therefore, let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
Acts 4:10- Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole…
Acts 5:30- The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree
Matthew 16:21
From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life
Matthew 20:18-19
“We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. And on the third day He will be raised to life."
Matthew 27:1- When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Matthew 27:35- When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.
Mark 15:24- And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take
conclusion: The One who made Atonement for my sins completely left out PSA and not once mentioned it or hinted at it in any way, shape or form. There was no wrath from the Father to the Son. The anger, wrath,vengeance, retribution as the Apostles taught in Acts and Jesus taught in the gospels came from evil and wicked men.
hope this helps !!
