Why did Jesus have to die?

Question

And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:27

Answer 1

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior was an exceptionally significant figure on a very imperative mission during His first coming.

At the outset, Jesus’ mission written of in the New Testament, was predominantly predicted through prophecy in the Old Testament. Thus we can conclude that one of the reasons why Jesus came to earth and put on flesh was to fulfill prophecy. But what did He teach? What was the purpose of His mission? What prophecies did He fulfill?


Sinners to Repentance

Jesus Christ first revealed He was on a mission (sent by the Father) when He was a young boy at the age of twelve in his hometown of Nazareth (Luke 2:42 & 49).

The foundation of Jesus’ mission was the message He repeatedly conveyed during His delegation on earth which was “repentance.” “Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2). Jesus Christ was on an essential mission to allow mankind the opportunity to convert from our habitual sinful nature into virtuous, just beings. He came to earth to open the eyes of the spiritually blind, teaching the subject of repentance to be the initial provision for eternal salvation.

In Luke 5:32 Jesus states, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” After the death of Jesus, His disciples, beginning with Peter, steadfastly preached the doctrine of repentance to the men and woman of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Acts 2:38).


Access to the Kingdom of God

Jesus Christ was present on earth preaching the gospel of the Kingdom at a time and location where masses of people, predominately the Israelites, were under the notion they would be saved, and justified by the Law of Moses.

In John 14:6, Jesus candidly professed to the people there is only one manner in which to obtain eternal salvation and access to God the Father, and that way was through Him. By the will of the Father, (John 12:49) Jesus made several declarations He was indeed the Messiah and the world’s “key to salvation.” “I am the bread of life” (John 6:48-51). “I am the vine” (John 14:15). “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved…” (John 10:9).

We are not justified by the law, circumcision, or the sacrificing of animals. We are justified by Jesus Christ’s shed blood and by our good deeds according to His will. Specific provisions for eternal salvation can be found in John 3:5, where Jesus taught the disciples one must be baptized by water and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (after one has repented) in order to gain access to the Kingdom of God.


Jesus Came to Die for the World

“For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life” (Romans 5:10)! These are the righteous words form the Apostle Paul, instructing us that indeed we have been reunited with God through the gracious sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Jesus’ death propitiated God’s wrath against mankind for our multitude of sins (Hebrews 2:17, Romans 3:25). We know by the testament of the apostle Peter (2 Peter 3:9) that it is not God’s will that any souls should perish, but that all should repent and be saved. Therefore Jesus, full of grace and benevolence, ordained by the Father, came down to earth to pay the death penalty (a penalty mankind could not afford to pay, 1 Corinthians 15:3) and to reconcile us to God by purifying our souls with His shed blood (1 John 1:7). “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

We can now be justified in the sight of God by the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son (Romans 5:9). Justification is legal acquittal from damnation by God, our judge, in which He pronounces sinners as righteous subsequent to their repentance and acceptance of Jesus as their personal savior.

Jesus came into the world to fulfill the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17). By His amicable sacrifice, through His shed blood, the prophecies of spiritual deliverance consisting of love was fulfilled; as we know “love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10).

Song writer Robert Lowry puts it best in “Nothing But The Blood,” (published in 1876) when he inscribed: “What shall wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

Let us bear in mind that Jesus’ mission, although foreseeable, was most certainly not an “easy road” by any stretch of the imagination. As prophesied and thus later fulfilled, Jesus Christ endured many impediments during his illustrious and valiant mission here on earth.

May we walk circumspectly in accordance with Christ and not imprudently allowing His significant mission on earth, including His benevolent sacrifice, to be of no avail to our physical lives at this time, and ultimately our eternal salvation.

Answer 2

This was because Adam the forefather of all of us, hadrebelled against God. His lawless act thus made him a sinner, the Bible explains that "sin is lawlessness."(1John3:4; 5:17) As a result, he was not worthy of receiving God's gift of everlasting lifeon paradise earth. He also lost this wonderful prospect for all the children he would produce. But why, you might ask, did all his children have to die, since it was Adamwho sinned?
This is because Adam, when he became a sinner, passed sin and death on to his children, including all humans now living.(Job14:4; Romans5:12) "All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God," the Bible says.(Romans3:23;Kings8:46) Even godly David said:"With error I was brought forth with birth pains, and in sin my mother conceived me." (Psalm51:5) People, therefore, have been dying because of the sin that was inherited from Adam. How was it possible, then, for the sacrifice of Jesus'life to free all people from bondage to sin and death? A legal principle in God's law for the nation of Israel is involved. It states that 'life should be given for life.' (Exodus 21:23)' Deutronomy19:21) By his disobedience the perfect man Adam lost perfect life on a paradise earth for himself and all his children. Jesus Christ gave his own perfect life to buy back what Adam lost. No other human but Jesus could have provided this ransom sacrifice. Because Jesus is the only man who ever livedthat was equal to Adam.(Psalm49:7; Luke1:32;3:38).

Answer 3

The death of Jesus served only one purpose, it made his Resurrection possible. The Resurrection was intended to show us that we are not the body. The purpose was to show us that we are spirit, and as spirit we are invulnerable.

This message that Jesus tried to show us has been covered up with nonsense about An insane God that required the sacrifice of someone good to make up for imaginary sins of mankind.

This foolishness would be comical if so many had not been indoctrinated with this ridiculous Idea as children when they were too young to see that this idea made no sense logically or any other way.

To top it off this deranged God is said to be unconditionally loving. If this is his idea of love I sure don't want him angry with me.

Lucky for us he is made up nonsense. A simple lie told by religion about the real God.

Answer 4

Joh 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
Joh 3:15 so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 "For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 Anyone who believes in Him is not judged, but anyone who does not believe is already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the One and Only Son of God.

Answer 5

question #a million: Jesus became no longer God. God, Jesus' Father, won't be able to die, he has no beginning, no end. question #2: God Almighty, the only genuine God raised Jesus from dying. question #3: The ransom became paid for Adam's sin and loss of perfection. God might desire to no longer be a ransom as he's not human. It became his Son who, as a human on earth, ransomed us together with his suitable blood. question #4: God did no longer die, the fee became totally paid by ability of Jesus Christ, his Son who gave his existence on earth to offer all mankind wish of eternal existence. there is not any secret, it fairly is basic to appreciate and actual proved with scripture. that's not the convoluted morass trinitarians insist that's.

Answer 6

Law of the universe is, everyone living as a human must die, one day.

Including realsied souls.

Same thing happened to Rama, Krishna and all as per Hindu belief.

Answer 7

Jesus died becuase he was a HUMAN BEING just like the rest of us and he was a Prophet.

He was a mortal man like any one of us and that is the lesson of the religion.

Some Christians get confused with their Trinity Mumbo Jumbo - three in one and one in three - dont get confused.

There is ONLY one God and Jesus was a Prophet and a Man - NOT a God !

Answer 8

He Died just to save ur soul from Hell... Tht verse means u need to reject the worldly pleasures and walk in the way of God..

God Bless U..

Dont be soo silly to Question God

Answer 9

Why do people ask questions like that? You apparently have a Bible close at hand, you should already know the answer to your own question, to save us from our sins.

Answer 10

because society during that time was cruel and unjust.

i can't see why God would want His son to get hurt. He ain't a sadist. My father wouldn't allow me to get hurt, and if ever, i woudn't allow my son to get hurt, why would He? so that Jesus would save us from sins? i question that.

peace.

Answer 11

How else could God forgive someone without killing Jesus? Think about it. When someone offends you, don't you kill your son before offering forgiveness to your offender? I always do, and it makes perfect sense!! DO NOT QUESTION JEBUS!!
