Why Did Jesus come to Die? -

[MatthewG]

My encouragement is to search the scriptures and see what is true. For the truth will set you free. The scriptures will help aid you in your faith in trusting God.

This topic is still talking about reasons why Jesus was sent. One of the reasons was to help us, in sending the spirit. The spirit is what holds back the fleshly proclivities once a person is reborn again, and now they can grow like a plant in the ground. Becoming rooted in knowing God and Christ, and know what Gods will is.

All people have issues and problems and thorns in their sides like Paul did. Jesus had said to him and pointed out that his grace is sufficient.

The scripture is what helps a person become watered and fed and God by their faith helps them to grow in the spirit, and the flesh can become lesser you won’t react in the flesh as much as you desiring to walk in the spirit instead.

Those are truths founded in the Bible.


“I (Paul the apostle of Jesus Christ) have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I (Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ by the Will of God) inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I (Paul the apostle of Jesus Christ) am a slave to sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭7:21-25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Of course you continue moving forwards in Romans you get to chapter 8 the talks more about the spiritual side.

Here is where Jesus told Paul his grace was sufficient enough for him.

“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I (Paul the apostle of Jesus Christ) suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9-10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Anyone who would like to share more reasons to why Jesus had been sent and died please feel free to share.

1stCenturyLady is totally correct; you're wrong. Can you cite any Scripture that proves your point and/or disproves hers?

Jim B, 1stcenturyLady and I had a few exchanges before the post you responded to, and I suspect we have had other exchanges before.

However, in this thread I discussed the scriptures she brought up, and discussed what I thought were the errors in her conclusions. I also eluded to several other scriptures (while not directly naming them) that supported my stance.

You quoted me as saying, "I respectfully disagree". I meant that honestly, but that's usually a way of ending the conversation on good terms. I said my peace, she said hers and for now, its ended. She even liked my post so I assume she agreed to let it go for now.

Hello to you, this is my explanation of why did Jesus come to die.

Why did Jesus come to die?

Jesus came as the second Adam to pay the price of sin, that way that God through His Word, was able to reconcile the world back unto himself.


Jesus was foretold to becoming also by the prophets of old, also Jesus brought forth judgement on the nation of Israel, Jesus was coming to fulfill the law of Moses, and the prophets , for those people then in that time.


The reason why? Because in the Old Testament people would sacrifice, to God to have their sins covered for a year. They did it in accordance of what they were told to do by the Law that pertain for sin offering and covering. Jesus had came to fulfill that law and all the priesthood and the circumcision and do away with all of these things.


Why? So that God sending Jesus showed his love by sending his own son to die on the cross, by the judgement of the people of the nation of Israel who desired to kill because of envy.


To die for the ungodly. God desired for sin to be paid for and took care for all people, and God was pleased, by the sacrifice of the Sons precious blood that covered all of sin, for all people whether they believed or they did not believe. (In that day however the wrath of God would come upon those who killed the Son of God - keep that in mind).


Sin had been paid for, right there on the cross by the death of Jesus for all of the world.


Why? That sin would be eradicated, including Satan and his demons, death, hell/Sheol, separation from God, and wrath would be poured out on the nation of Israel, in which Jesus had warned them about, which could come about after he had resurrected and went and sat down at the right hand of God.


In which Jesus then proceeds onward in the Bible directive to giving everything back the Father had given to Him, so that God may be all in all, to me all in Christ - the Lord God Almighty. - the fullness of God. Along with have gathering the bridegroom of that day in age back then when Jesus said he would have returned.


Why is all of this?


That God and man can have relationship, by faith in Jesus Christ, and have hope, joy, peace, love, kindness, gentleness, forgiveness, mercy, communication with God.


You are given the Holy Spirit because of faith in the Gospel of Christ. You can ask God to help you by the Holy Spirit. God cares for you, he loves you, he desires to hear from you in prayer about your family, friends, enemies, problems and issues.


God helps us in our lives pertaining with sin/fleshly desires and thoughts that come and are filtered through our carnal thoughts, reading the Bible can help renew the mind and change to having a heavenly mindset.


All of these things are freely given now because of faith in Christ, He paid for your sin. What you do about that information is up to you. He has paid for sin, and defeated the devil, Satan, death, Sheol, hades and he has had the complete victory. He can be trusted, he is faithful, he is not a liar. God also can be trusted he is faithful, he is not a liar, and no darkness lies within him.


In Christ,

Matthew Gallagher

Jesus lived a sinless life, so when Satan had Jesus murdered, Satan lost his credibility. That's how I see it.
