A Nigerian pastor has courted attention on social media after he preached that sin can never take a man to hell.

Speaking during a church service, the cleric averred that Jesus Christ died to pay for the sins of men, thus sin cannot claim men.

In a video making rounds on social media, the man of God said: ”Sin can never take a man to hell, never”.

He asked:

”How can Jesus who is God die to pay sin and then sin now stands up to claim men?”

The preacher reiterated that Jesus did not collapse or die due to an accident, but died intentionally to deal with sin, hence, the sins of believers have been paid for.

He posed rhetorical questions to the congregation.

”Did Jesus die or he fainted? Did he die or he collapsed? Was it a mistaken death or intentional? And why did he die intentionally?”

He answered, saying: ”For our sins has been paid,” adding that ”faith in Christ is freedom from sin”.
