How do we know Jesus is the reason we can walk in the land of the living?
Answered in 1 source
We know that Jesus enables us to walk in the land of the living because He was cut off from it for our transgressions.
The assurance that believers can walk in the land of the living is rooted in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53:8 states, 'For he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people.' This signifies that Christ endured suffering and separation so that His people might have life. His atoning sacrifice opens the way for us to live eternally in communion with God, underscoring the truth that our ability to walk in righteousness and life is solely based on His righteousness and grace. It’s through His resurrection and reign that believers can confidently affirm, 'I will walk in the land of the living.'
