Why Jesus Had to Go To Hell or Hades After His Death

we know that hell was created for Satan and his demons but did you know that Jesus had to go to hell why would Jesus go to hell or Hades the Abode of the Lost and the Demonic to understand what Jesus did in hell we first need to remember what happened when he died Jesus the Son of God was crucified on a cross he was betrayed by one of his disciples arrested and unjustly tried despite being innocent Jesus was sentenced to death he suffered greatly enduring mockery physical pain and ultimately crucifixion a brutal form of execution

after he died his body was taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb this was a dark time for his followers who were filled with grief and confusion they didn't yet fully understand that Jesus's death was part of God's divine plan for Humanity's salvation Jesus actions in hell at this point we get to what Jesus did in hell and why he was there number one preaching to the spirits after his death Jesus descended to hell where he preached to the spirits in prison according to 1 Peter 3 : 18 to 20 these Spirits

were those who had been disobedient in the days of Noah this is how Apostle Peter describes it for Christ also suffered once for sins the righteous for the unrighteous to bring you to God he was put to death in the body but made alive in the spirit after being made alive he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built 1 Peter 3: 18 to20 this act was not about offering a second chance but proclaiming

his victory over sin and death Jesus preaching was a declaration that he had triumphed over the forces of evil and fulfilled God's plan for salvation this Proclamation assured those spirits and the entire spiritual realm that Jesus was the Conqueror of sin and death this act showed that his salvation reaches across all time and space offering Redemption even to those who had died before his crucifixion number two defeating death and sin Jesus descent into hell was a crucial part of his victory over death and sin by entering the realm of the dead he confronted the ultimate

consequence of sin death itself in Revelation 1:8 Jesus states that that he holds the keys of death and Hades this signifies his authority and victory over the powers of death and the grave Jesus's resurrection from the dead demonstrated his power to conquer death thereby breaking its hold on Humanity his victory means that death no longer has the final say eternal life is now available through him Jesus descent to hell and his subsequent Resurrection broke the bonds of death he paved the way for eternal life not just for himself but for all who believe in him

his victory means that death is not the end for us but a passage to eternal life with God number three opening the gates of Heaven Jesus's actions in Hell also involved opening the gates of Heaven before his death and Resurrection the Gates of Heaven were closed to humanity due to sin by defeating death and Rising again Jesus made it possible for believers to enter Heaven Ephesians 4 describes how Jesus led captives in his train symbolizing that he freed the righteous Souls who had been waiting in shol or Hades this is Apostles Paul's words on the

matter this is why it says when he ascended on high he took many captives and gave gifts to his people what does he ascended mean except that he also descended to the lower Earthly regions he who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens in order to fill the whole universe Ephesians 4: 8 to10 his resurrection paved the way for all believers to enter Heaven fulfilling God's promise of eternal life this act of opening Heaven's Gates signifies the completion of his Redemptive work ensuring that those who believe in him can enjoy

Eternal fellowship with God thus Jesus's journey to hell was not a defeat it was a Triumph by descending to hell he demonstrated his victory over sin death and Satan hell could not hold him and his presence there was a proclamation of his power and authority these actions preaching to the spirits defeating death and sin and opening the gates of Heaven underscore the magnitude of Jesus's Triumph and the hope it brings to all believers through his descent into hell and his subsequent Resurrection Jesus secured the ultimate Victory ensuring that death is not the end but the

beginning of eternal life with God jesus' actions in Hell provide us with profound hope and Assurance of our Redemption his descent and victory over death mean that we no longer need to fear death or the consequence es of sin by conquering hell Jesus has secured eternal life for all who believe in him this act of Salvation means that our sins are forgiven and we have the promise of eternal life with God Jesus Triumph assures us that no matter how dark or hopeless our situation may seem his power and love are greater offering us a future
