1 Pet 2:24
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
What is so denied in religion today is the fact that Christs Death, effects, brings about Salvation. Majority of folks believe that Jesus death merely made Salvation possible for all without exception, leaving it up to man to do something to effect Salvation for himself. However Peter makes it clear to these believers exactly how they were healed, saved. It was by Christs stripes/death,blood. The word healed here is the greek word iaomai:
I heal, generally of the physical, sometimes of spiritual, disease, iáomai (a primitive verb, NAS dictionary) – healing, particularly as supernatural and bringing attention to the Lord Himself as the Great Physician (cf. Is 53:4,5)
to make whole i. e. to free from errors and sins, to bring about (one's) salvation:
Its very simple, Christs death effects the Salvation of them He died for, their boast is in the Cross of Christ, His stripes !
