Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Written by John Benza

Why did Jesus have to die?

The Bible explains that this was the plan that God laid out from the initial sin of Adam—but it does not explain why God chose that specific method. One thing I surmise is that it certainly gets my attention to realize that the “penalty” of my sinful actions carries a very high price. Sometimes I think if it were as easy as just asking for forgiveness, many would take it for granted or “devalue” the benefit because the cost was too low.

Here is what we learn from the Bible:

Christ’s death on the cross was not only his choice, but for our benefit, not God’s. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death, eternal separation from God. Someone had to die for our sins. God knew this and also planned this, even before the incident in the garden where Adam and Eve sinned. Someone would have to make the sacrifice for our sins. It was God’s solution to our eternal damnation. Even though we sinned, he didn’t want us to be separated from him forever; rather, he wanted us to be fulfilled and have a relationship with him forever. So, he planned that the perfect sacrifice would die in our place. He gave his son to die in our place. That is his gift for us! The Gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, his son.

Christ died for our sins so that we can spend eternity with God. But, just like any gift, it’s not yours unless you accept it. There are four principles that govern our friendship with God. I realize that some of these concepts can be difficult to grasp, but I trust that if you keep seeking, God will show you.

    Every good and perfect gift is from above coming from the Father of heavenly lights who does not changed like lifting shadow, for His rules no one can break, and all are called, for the life that He give is a gift of a better tomorrow.God said its irrevocable, because with his teaching of words to words, once you have God in your life your word and the word of God is only one, that all comes in your mouth will be He is!

    but the anointing which you have received if him abide in you and you need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teach you all things and in truth and is no lie and even as it has taught you shall abide in Him

    for this means you have the word of God, with this word as you submit yourself to God, He will give you understanding to understand His word of life so that you may not slip away. for you have the wisdom of righteousness you may think what is the best for your life for your steps this is you will apply the word of God in all of your life.

    v28-29 and now little children abide in Him, that when he shall appear we may
    have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming and if you know He is righteous , you know that everyone that do righteousness is born of Him.

    all that we read and learn on this gospel we may apply in real life, as our steps in this Journey and you may say to your self How blessed are we,for the kindness of God is like His creation on how he made it , it because of His true love to all!

    Obey the law of God because this is the only way that we may say our lives in like in the paradise because the law that steps in is Jesus life! with love and understanding that makes us all in one and because of our faith and truthfulness to God we have a better day and best life in Gods love.

    We love you God for the blessed day we have for it always a gathering of all people for its like in Gallelie preaching your word to us,and all that we learn we can give also to others and we do these to pleased you O,God as act of our worship so in the end we are all reflection of God.
