RE: Cryptocurrency and the currency of Christ
"Is Christ or His blood then a currency?" No. It is a gift, not a currency.
While His blood does "pay" for our sin (and therefore could be considered to act as a store of value), it is by no means a barter-able commodity. Christ's gift of eternal life (salvation) was given freely (Eph 2:8-9; 1John 5:13), but it cannot be given or traded away.
Great topic! You really got me thinking!
This comment cuts the assumption of the subject so far. 👍 But i would like to add something:
Also, apart from shedding of His blood, His teachings and all of the prophets prophecies would have no sense at all. He was speaking about His death, the prophets wrote about it hundreds of years before He came. And for us, the practical thing in which we can apply this sacrificial love of Christ is that we must see how evil really sin is. It took the death of God's own son for us to be right with Him because we ourselves are not righteous enough to stand before a Holy God. All of us have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23), yet when we are still sinners, Christ died for us (Rom 5:8). It is a gift. The question is, will we respond to this gift of eternal life through Christ? Will we repent on our sins and believe in His gospel?
This is of paramount importance. This is the only way things are.... His blood was not shed in vain, but to pay for each and every one of us... It is the payment of a Father who finds his children sold to slavery, and pays the ultimate price (his own life) for them....
Blessed are they who believe these things without seeing them, for even those who saw did not believe.
I am in accordance with you, it cannot be traded or even taken out of us once we are sealed by it...
It is an exclusive of God to pay with it! And the one that is bought, remains bought... Blessings!
