Death became part of our lives through the sin Adam and Eve committed, courtesy of Satan as the serpent, so Jesus had to go to the “lower parts of the earth” to fulfill all things for us for salvation before rejoining God in heaven.Īcts 2:31 also discusses Jesus in hell, mentioning that “His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.” This clarifies that even though Jesus went to hell, He didn’t remain there like others but accomplished His mission there and was brought back to heaven.
So, if Jesus was to go to the grave, which He did for three days before His resurrection, death is considered the grave and where hell can be found. He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.” In Ephesians 4:9-10, it is stated that if Jesus ascended, He must “also first descended into the lower parts of the earth. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” This gives a glimpse to the fact of what Jesus’s mission was in hell and how He was successful in it. One clear Scripture that details Jesus going to hell can be found in Revelation 1:18: “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Now with Jesus’ ministry and sacrifice, entrance into heaven wasn’t based on what rituals and rules you followed, but whether you accepted what Jesus did on the cross and that salvation through Him eternally changed you. However, the Bible outlines several times, both in the Old and New Testaments, that a savior was to be born on Earth as an embodiment of God, to die for our sins, and to connect us back to God after the Fall of Adam and Eve had separated us.Īfter Adam and Eve sinned, believers had to follow rituals and rules in order to be pleasing to God and have the blessing of going to heaven. Many may question why God the Father would turn His back on helping His only Son enduring sin, especially when it is clear God’s love was in and through Jesus. The idea also may have generated from Scripture where Jesus, while hanging on the cross, cries out to God about why He has forsaken Him ( Matt. Not exactly Scripture, these words are to be guidance to believers on confessing their faith in Jesus and understanding the key doctrines of the Christian faith. The first mention of Jesus descending to hell was found in a later form of the Apostles’ Creed, which is considered the Christian church’s oldest creed of the basic doctrines regarding the Christian faith, dating as far back as AD 140. The Bible clearly states the reasons why Jesus made the momentous trip to hell and how this shows even more the love of Jesus to bring us to God once again. Instead of the punishment of hell forever for our sins, we now have the one and only way back to a thriving relationship with God the Father.īut why would Jesus have to go to hell to make this connection happen? With Him being the Son of God, would going to hell be required to save people? Scriptures have revealed that Jesus did in fact go to hell after being crucified on the cross, with the goal to get the keys (control) of Hades from Satan and establish the bridge for people to return to God after repenting of their sins. Why would Jesus go to hell if He was sent by God to die for our sins and was to be resurrected on the third day to return to heaven? Couldn’t He just hover in paradise like the saints of the faith, waiting for the day God claimed the Earth again?
