Amen! He paid the price for our sin and He paid it in full. He completed the work. It is finished!! We are made perfect by the imputation of HIS perfect righteousness. We are righteous in HIM.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
—2 Corinthians 5:21
Agreed!
The concept of purgatory is no minor doctrine that would be left to be speculated at based on snippets here and there and pondering by some who died many years after the Scriptures were written. If purgatory was really part of the plan you’d think God wouldn’t be silent, or at best very cryptic (leaving us to fumble around in the dark about it), on the issue.
But if one holds that it is all true we go back to Luther’s question, if the church can release the suffering from purgatory why not do it out of Christian love and not just for $?
