Watch part 2 of this series: How Can a Loving God Send Someone to Hell?
As a young man, Josh McDowell considered himself an agnostic. He truly believed that Christianity was worthless. However, when challenged to intellectually examine the claims of Christianity, Josh discovered compelling, overwhelming evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith. Since then he has written or co-authored over 120 books and led many people to put their trust in the life-saving faith of Jesus Christ.
In this series of videos, Josh investigates the critically important question: Why did Jesus have to die? He begins this segment by saying:
“You know often it comes to about the person of Jesus Christ and God His Father. When we think about Him, so often our thoughts are not Biblical. We don’t think in a way that God revealed truth about His Son. And I have learned one thing: if we don’t have right thinking, we normally don’t have right behavior. So in several segments I want to deal with this: Why did Jesus have to Die?”

It is great to hear that you are so convinced of the importance of Jesus’ death Harvey. And thanks for the challenge to study what God says in the Bible so that we can know His truth.
why did jesus have to die? this is a question related to why is the sky blue or why is the grass green? really if you are born again you know the answer to this very elementary question so evidentlly the author here refers to the ”lost” when asking such a thing, the bible gives us all the answers on this subject and first i would refer you there. however if Jesus had not himself became the ultimate sacrificial lamb acceptable to GOD then we would all be dieing without hope of escapeing a very place called ‘HELL’ which the bible goes into great detail on also.john 14:6 when jesus speaks of himself he does it not out being vain, or pumped up with self importance and ego, he is simply stateing the truth, and anyone who has a problem with that has a problem with GOD.and also has a very unsure eternity.it was done by GODS design and flows from his love of us all past,present, and future.those that study and believe GOD’s word know the truth.do your due diligence and research like a good berean the answers that result in your eternal life.
