🎤 [SERIES INTRO]
Welcome to Deep Dive: KJV Bible Studies. I’m Pastor Joshua Tapp from True Words Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. In this series, we go verse by verse, no fluff, no compromise—just the King James Bible, preached and taught with boldness and truth. Let’s dive in.
🪦 POINT 1: THE PENALTY FOR SIN BEGAN IN GENESIS—AND ENDS IN THE EARTH
Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
The wages of sin is death — and death ends in the grave… and hell.
⚰️ POINT 2: JESUS TOOK OUR FULL PENALTY—BODY AND SOUL
1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree… by whose stripes ye were healed.
But it didn’t stop at the cross.
Acts 2:31
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Psalm 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Jesus didn’t just die physically—He went to hell in our place.
🌑 POINT 3: THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS—IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Jesus wasn’t in “Abraham’s bosom.”
He was in hell—but He didn’t stay.
His soul came up, His body came out, and the sepulchre was left empty.
🏆 POINT 4: THE GOSPEL ISN’T COMPLETE WITHOUT THE BURIAL AND DESCENT
1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Christ died for our sins… he was buried… and that he rose again the third day…
The burial matters. The location matters. And where His soul went matters.
Jesus paid death and hell — not just a bloody death.
