Why Jesus Died For Us


Listen Later

Transforming Perspective: Conversation about our need to understand the reason God  would choose to be born into the world as Human, Jesus Christ to die for every Man’s Sin.

God’s love for man is beyond measure, shown in the many times God intervened for man as contained in Scrpitures of the Bible.

Every event,  since Adam disobeyed God’s command in the Garden of Eden is a revelation of the great wickedness and sin that is in the world, and also of God’s great mercy, such as saving Noah, Lot and the people Nineveh.

In each event, God’s redemptive plan for man into a state of rightness before his holiness was being manifested.

A significant part of God’s redemption for man was instituted with Abraham, advanced through Moses for the deliverance of the progeny of Jacob, and established in God’s righteous requirements called the Ten Commandments.

These instructions are significant for us, being more than just rules to follow, they are God’s help for us, such as acknowledging God as supreme and sole provider for our every need so that we will not desire or covet as Adam and Eve.   

Moreover, help us to love as He loves us by selfless acts of placing others before ourselves, preventing strife and contentions, divorce and yes, even murder.

Most of us try to justify our lives through the keeping of these commands by emphasizing the worse, such not murdering to make ourselves right. 

A clear example is in Jesus’ ministry when a rich young man seeking eternal life boasts of keeping all the Laws, walked away grieved loving his wealth above all, even God.

Let us not be foolish any longer,  we all have fallen from God’s righteous requirements in sin against him for which the penalty is death.

So, Jesus had to die for us.

God knowingly in the riches of his great love, choosing to become a man, so to fulfill in himself all of the requirements.

Who is Jesus Christ, God incarnate, and the Son of the Living God the Fulfillment of all God’s requirements including the Ten Commandments, past, present and future.

Biblical Principle: The wages or cost for Sin is death, accepting the price paid by the gift of God, is eternal life in Jesus Christ the sacrifice for our lives.
