Christ proved He was worthy to take the scroll and open its seals by prefectly completeing God's plan for salvation. With His conquest of sin, death, and hell He is equipped to be trusted with the future of God's people. His blood is the ransom for us and with it He pain the complete price.

+ The Lamb's worthiness came from His willingness to be slain for the sins of every man. His blood was used for the redeemption and/or purchase of our souls.
It becomes very personal to realize how this perfect Lamb, Jesus, died for me, stained with sins, still important to God and His Perfect Lamb. Without this sacrifice I would be lost. Hallelujah!

The Lamb is worthy to take the scroll and open the seals because He was slain and He shed blood to purchase us for God. He triumphed over sin and the grave; therefore, the Lamb is worthy. Praise be to God. lmc

Jesus, the Perfect Lamb, the sinless man/God was slain for our sins so that we could come before God. It was an offering to God. The solution had been planned before man was created. God could have created us so that we would have to love Him, but He gave us the gift of free will. We have to make a choice. He took a chance that we would choose Him. Not a chance, really, because God sees future events as well as past events the same as the present. God hates sin, he cannot stand it, yet we are filthy rags and a way had to be found to broach the boundless gap between sinful man and perfect God. Jesus was that way. Glory, Glory! This study reminds me of a song we sing in Church. I have seen it in the Bible but off hand I cannot remember the reference. Amen, praise and glory, and wisdom and ****** and honor, and power and strength be to our God, forever and ever, Amen, I forget that one word. But when we sing it we go over and over it several times. It has been a while since we have sung it.

...because you were slain
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
Revelation 5:9
The scroll has 7 seals. The 7 symbolizes completeness or perfection. The one who opens the scroll must be whole, complete, and perfect. He must have the power of perfection and wholeness to execute what is written. Just as He has already fulfilled other prophesies, He must be able to filfill what is written on the scroll.
Jesus is the only one able to open this scroll. He has the power and perfection that is required. He sacrificed himself to save us all. Thus He is worthy to take the scroll and open it's seals.

Jesus, the perfect, sinless sacrifice, was slain for our sins, & redeemed us by His precious Blood! John say's "And I wept much, because NO MAN was found worthy to open & to read the book, neither to look thereon" Only Jesus, the son of God, who no sin could be found in, was worthy to open the book. Not only did He die for our sins, He also conquered Death, hell, & the Grave! He triumphed over all! This is why we can now say "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us"(Romans 8:37) Because He triumphed, we do also! Praise the Lord!

By fulfilling the Lord's plan of salvation for His people, Jesus became worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. By fulfilling the prophecies that were written about the Messiah, Jesus proved that He really was the Son of God and that He was worthy to open the seals.

- Interests:Though I accepted the Lord Jesus as my savoiur when I was just 11 years old, sadly, when I left school 4 years later and joined the great wide world of employment and all the distractions presented to me I also left behind my Christian faith. For many years this was the way of life I followed until, that is, I hit a trial that left me so depressed I felt my life was so worthless I made a serious attempt to end it. By God's grace He spared me and on my return home I was suddenly reminded of all those Christian choruses I had worshipped God with as a youth. I attended a Christian rally a few weeks later and recommitted my life to God. I spent a year at a Bible school where I developed my relationship and took part in evangelistic outreach. Today, I attend North Road Christian Fellowship, an A.O.G. pentecostal church based in Preston, Lancashire, England. Our church has an evangelistic outlook and we are engaged in the G12 vision. Mid week we attend Cell Groups where we tend to one anothers' needs, spiritually and physically. I'm so glad that our loving heavenly father never gives up on us. I truly believe I have found my spiritual home where the fellowship of believers is shared in love and grace.<br><br>I've chosen my homeland's ensign (Isle of Man) for my avatar basically because the three legs symbol and it's Latin motto translates "Whichever way you throw me I stand". I guess as Christians we can confidently adopt this motif with the assurance that whichever way this world may throw us, on the last day we will, by God's Grace, ultimately stand.<br>My interests vary from Evangelism and Church acitivities to Web design and the internet. Music and country walks with my small dog, Penny.

Jesus the lamb triumphed and was worthy to open the scrolls because, He was Slain and with His blood He was able to purchase the lives of men. Jesus made it possible that people from all over the world might be saved and go on to be Priests reigning on earth with Jesus.

Christ was the only perfect one so He was the only one notable to open the scrolls. Christ paid the ultimate price for us with His spilled blood and His body so we'll to be with Him.

The Lamb was the only One worthy to open the seals because He was the only perfect Lamb, the only Lamb of God who died for the sins of the world and who 3 days later rose again victorious, conquering hell.
I believe it is important to remember here that no one "took" Jesus' life, he "gave" it. WORTHY IS THE LAMB!!

- Interests:I love the Lord; Jesus... He is my interest and then there are interests of reading, music, sewing, painting and bible study. I love to sing; joyfully to the Lord. Most of what is sung are songs to which God has inspired in and through me while in prayer. I am looking forward to reading the bible study and viewing comments... I pray you will challenge me. <br><br>I first fell in love with Christ... when I was about 12. With much to smile about (although life presented a frown) I ended up believing the enemy (satan) my life was not worth much to anyone. Thank God He sees everything differently and began to open my eyes. I rededicated my life to Him and I thank Him for His dedication to us. With Christ; Jesus... I am able to smile with purpose... smile even through tears... for the Joy of the Lord is my strength... for my Joy is the Lord. May God sheild you always. With much Love in Christ, Sunshine.

Even before I rededicated my life to Christ, I used to love to read the verse to which
speaks of only one Worthy to open the Book Sealed... Revelation
Because of such Worth I thought it impossible to get close to such a God because I could
never be found so true in heart. God truly understood how I viewed Him, and opened my eyes to see that no one, absolutely no one is Worthy, but His Firey, Passionate Love for us desired
a Close Encounter of the Love kind. NO ONE PROOVES TO BE WORTHY, NO ONE MORE THAN JESUS!
In His continuing proving of Himself... He knew that He himself had to Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk, and finally take to the Cross to which again proved VICTORY. Suffered, Died, Overcame, Went to hell and back for me, for you. He thought of us Before the Cross, while on the Cross, and He thinks of us Now. To think this God, my God, desires to be everyone's God... would Invision it all and He knew His Worth from the begining... and He wants to share that with us. He came to me first and took me by my heart and led me to my knees and there I am at His feet growing in Relationship with God. And when I stand... I REJOICE, My King!
