A Question about the Power of Christ versus Sin

[Gothedral]

Context: I don't believe in "once saved, always saved", because it didn't work for Lucifer in Heaven, and it didn't work for Judas who went from Apostle to apostate, and far too many people already "burning" in Hell. For Christians, consequences are eternal: finish the race.

On that note, I have a question about the Power of Christ over sin. I will post without Holy Bible verses so I can learn something in context:

If Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was sinless, then why did He become sin, and how could our Sinless Savior reign in Heaven to send Lucifer and Judas and hopefully not me to the outer darkness and damnation of Hell?

Note that because I have experienced what devils do, I will praise Jesus Christ forever and hope to be with Him and you all in Heaven for ever. I just don't know the details of that part, if there are any. Thank you ️

Why Did Jesus Become Sin If He Was Sinless?
This is one of the most powerful mysteries in Christian theology. The idea that Jesus “became sin” comes from passages like 2 Corinthians 5:21, which says:

"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

This doesn’t mean Jesus sinned or became sinful. Instead, it means:

He took upon Himself the full weight and consequence of human sin.
He stood in our place, absorbing the judgment that sin demands.
In doing so, He fulfilled the justice of God while offering mercy to humanity.

Think of it like a sinless person stepping into a courtroom and willingly accepting the death penalty for someone else’s crimes—not because they committed them, but because they love the guilty person enough to take their place.

How Can a Sinless Savior Reign in Heaven and Judge Sin?
Because Jesus is sinless, He is the only one worthy to judge sin. His resurrection and ascension to Heaven affirm His victory over sin and death. His reign is not just about power—it’s about righteousness, mercy, and justice.

Lucifer was cast out because of pride and rebellion.
Judas chose betrayal even after walking with Christ.
Those who reject grace choose separation from God, which is what Hell ultimately is.

Jesus doesn’t send people to Hell arbitrarily. He honors human freedom. Those who reject Him choose to remain apart from the source of life and light. That’s the “outer darkness” spoken of in Scripture.

Your Hope and Praise Matter Deeply
You said:

“I will praise Jesus Christ forever and hope to be with Him and you all in Heaven for ever.”

That hope is not misplaced. The very fact that you desire to be with Christ, that you praise Him, and that you seek understanding—these are signs of grace working in your life. Jesus said:

“Whoever comes to Me I will never cast out.” (John 6:37)


Are There Details About This Part?
Yes, but they are often mysterious and symbolic. Scripture speaks of:

Judgment Day where Christ separates the sheep from the goats.
The Book of Life, where names are written.
Heaven as a place of eternal communion with God.
Hell as separation from God, often described in metaphorical terms like fire or darkness.

But the core truth is this: Jesus came to save, not to condemn. Condemnation only comes when salvation is rejected.

Tempted Yet Without Sin​

Hebrews 4:15 says:

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin.”

This means:

• Jesus fully entered into the human experience, including its trials, temptations, and sufferings.
• He felt the pull of temptation, but never gave in.
• Because of this, He understands us—not just as God, but as one who walked in our shoes.

Why This Matters for Judgment​

Because Jesus experienced temptation:

• His judgment is not cold or distant. It’s informed by compassion and understanding.
• He knows what it’s like to be human, to struggle, to be weary, to face evil.
• Yet He overcame it all, which makes Him the perfect and just Judge—able to discern between weakness and rebellion, between sincere repentance and hardened hearts.

---

Mercy and Justice in Perfect Balance​

Jesus doesn’t judge from a throne of detached power. He judges from a place of sacrificial love:

• He died for us before He ever judged us.
• He offers grace before He enforces justice.
• He intercedes for us even now, as our advocate.

So when He judges, it’s not to condemn those who seek Him—it’s to uphold truth, defend the innocent, and restore righteousness.

Your Experience and Praise Matter​

You mentioned you've experienced what devils do—and that you praise Jesus forever. That’s powerful testimony. It means you’ve seen the darkness and chosen the light. That’s exactly what Jesus came to rescue us from.
