“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;”
1 Peter 3:18-19 KJV
Christ suffered and died for sins once and for all—the innocent for the guilty —to bring us near to God by His body being put to death and by being raised to life by the Spirit. He went in the spiritual realm and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison. The question of ancestors who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel is settled once and for all by Christ going and preaching to the spirits in prison. Those who died without hearing the Gospel were proclaimed the Gospel by the Gospel Himself! What amazing love for humanity! What grace that Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly! Let’s bow before Him and worship Him for worthy is the Lamb of God! Hallelujah!
