The answer to, “why did Jesus die” seems very simple to some but very complicated for others, finding the answer to this important question seems to depend on how much do we really want to know. You might say, “Didn’t Jesus die so that we can go to heaven?”, and yes this is part of the answer, but the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are much more than just our, “ticket to heaven”.
Why did Jesus die to restore our relationship? God’s love for us is great, so when Adam sinned, his sin brought spiritual death to man and separated us from God. Romans 5:12–21 explains this in detail.
But God already had a plan to restore the relationship with man back to how He originally intended it to be.
It’s important to understand the effect that sin has to separate us from God’s desire to have a perfect relationship with us.
We now understand why we needed to be set free from sin, but, why did Jesus die to set us free? What did Jesus’ death set us free or save us from?
Salvation also Includes Deliverance from evil, spiritual and material preservation, deliverance from fear, restoration, healing, wholeness, soundness in spirit, soul and body.
Jesus had no sin. He was not born with a spiritual nature of sin like we are (Matthew 1:23), and He never committed any sin while He was on the earth. Hebrews 4:15, explains that Jesus was, “tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning”.
To understand the term “born again,” we need to understand why God is not into behaviour modification. To be born again refers to being restored to the image and likeness of God’s original creation. (Genesis 1:26)
What everything comes down to is a choice. When a person chooses to receive Jesus as Lord of their life, the bible says, they become a brand new creation
Has anyone ever told you that God loves you and that he has a wonderful plan for your life? if you were to die this very second, do you know for sure beyond the shadow of a doubt that you would go to heaven?
First — It’s important to realize that there is only one way to God, and that is through Jesus Christ, the Lord, and Savior of the world (John 14:6). The Word of God says if you believe with your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and confess Jesus as your Lord, you will be saved (Romans 10:9–10).
If you would like to receive the gift that God has for you today, say this prayer with your heart out loud…
“Dear Jesus come into my heart, forgive me of my sin, set me free, Jesus thank you that you died for me and that your blood was Shed for me. I believe that God raised you from the dead, thank you that you’re coming back again for me, fill me with the Holy Spirit. I’m saved, I’m born again, I’m forgiven, I’m on my way to Heaven because I have Jesus in my heart”.
God bless you, Roy Clayton.
