Why did Jesus go to hell when He had never sinned?
|
I would like to add…
Quote:
also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.
1 Peter 3:18
|
So Jesus descended into hell to preach (teach) those who had gone on before apart from the faith.
Quote:
For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 Peter 4:4-6

God is just. Everywhere, always. This gives great comfort to me. Because if God is “Fair” then I would be dead, both in flesh and in spirit because I am a sinner.
But God is “JUST” and therefore I can stand in the presence of God by the righteousness of Jesus Christ and not my own righteousness. His atonement of the cross is sufficient.
Quote:
He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.
Ephesians 4:10

He did it in order to fill the whole universe.
These are the reasons, according to Gods Holy Word, that Jesus descended into hell. Perhaps there are others of which we are unaware. Perhaps He also did so that we might have this very conversation at this time and in this place.
Scripture doesn't always give us all of the answers.
Scripture gives us all of the answers that we need.
