Why Did Jesus Die?
from The Living Epistle Project Hosted by Modeline Fenelon
Why did Jesus die? We were made to commune with God, disobedient to God (sin) interfered with Men communing with God. God not willing to permanently part with His image made a way to reinstate our communion through the death of Jesus Christ Who was sinless. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:2 Jesus died for “the forgiveness of our sins.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Humanity was perishing because of sin and God because of a crazy love for His creations gave His sinless Son Jesus to die so men can reunite with Him (Hebrews 4:15.). Men's problem is sin (separation from God). Our sins, my and your sin is the reason Jesus died. ...O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! ...Romans 7:24-25 Everything else we enjoy as believers is the icing on the cake, but the forgiveness of sin, redemption is the cake. See Romans 5:19, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 2:2, Romans 5:12, Romans 5:21, Romans 7:18-23, Luke 4:18 Tune in as we discuss this topic!
