The story says three days later. People die, no matter what. You thought people can live past 125 years?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes upon Him shall have everlasting life.
In Revelation Jesus said that He was slain from the foundation of the world. Jesus was always with God. Jesus said, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." Jesus and God are One. Jesus said, "the Father and I are One."
The first Adam brought sin into the world and because of Adam and Eve's sin with the serpent, devil all mankind lost eternal life with God. The second Adam or Son of God Jesus took away the sins of the world at the cross of calvary. Jesus was a blood sacrifice without a blemish - no sin. God set the rule "without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins." The animal sacrifices throughout the old testament set up the once and for all sacrifice of God's Son, Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary.
John the Baptist said, "The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." That was Jesus.
God picked Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God is God and He can do anything. Remember God is the Potter and we are the clay and God can make good pots and bad pots. And who is able to question Him - NO ONE.

God didnt send Adam, Abraham, Isaac, etc... but He used them. For example, through Abraham He established the jewish nation so that through them Jesus might come to earth. *(The reason Jesus had to be human [though He is still God] is because He had to be tempted in every way that we are. This way, when we are going through trials, we can have full confidence that the God we are praying to understands what we are dealing with, and is able to provide comfort.)
Jesus died so as to fulfill once and for all an atoning sacrifice to divert Gods wrath. Look around you - you see every single day that the world is alltogether a bad place. This comes from the sin thats naturally in every person. Jesus died so that those who believe in Him would be saved from God's wrath against sin. God does what He does for a reason, and when He does it is perfect. A reason Jesus was sent when He was is because of the structure of the Roman Empire at the time that allowed for the spread of the Gospel of Christ throughout the known world. God spread the Gospel through normal everyday people so that they could see the power of God at work - if He just made his plans come about through a miracle, then we would cease to appreciate the miracles that might come to us today. Sorry for the long answer, but if you have any questions, let me know.

Please brush up on your Bible reading. Jesus wasn't resurrected the next day. It was three days later. Jesus death and resurrection equaling our forgiveness was payment for sin before, during, and after Jesus lived. His death was a sort of payment to forgive ALL sin for ALL time. Not just then and there. I don't know what you're looking for in the Adam, Noah, etc. question. Why were they on earth? What did they do? What can we learn from them? They all had faith and did Gods will but none of them can take our sins away. None of them has the power to make others right in Gods eyes. Jesus did that for us and He is the only one that can. They were very good Christian people but they by their own deeds can't take our sins away from us.

Lambs and goats were killed in the old testament to take the place of killing men for their sins. Jesus represented the final Holy sacrifice to God that would stand in place for all men so they could be saved. God had his reason for the timing. First mankind had to try to live without sin on his own. Man had to realize that they couldn't be like God without his Spirit. God knew that they wouldn't be able to be perfect without his help and he had to prove it. The bible is a perfect story or group of stories planned by God. They didn't just happen. And what kind of story would it be if the climax or major event such as the crucifixtion of Christ happened at the beginning of the story.

Yes Jesus came in his right time. This is because God searched the world but did not find the one person who would lead men to God. So he sacrificed his own son in order to save mankind.
As it is said, God loved mankind so much that he sent his own son to be sacrificed. God needed someone pure, someone who had done no wrong or sin this is why Jesus was sent. And don't forget Jesus did willingly volunteer he was not ordered or forced.

Jesus is God, so basically He died himself for us; in other words after He created us, gave us life, we sinned in Adam. After that God tried to teach us to not sin by law in humans but we were extent of God because of sin, so God planned a series of events that will lead to the birth of Jesus the savior, God could have sent him before but it was not in the right time. God became a human to die as 100% God and 100% human without sinning so we through Him could reach His father form.
I cannot explain why before with a real solid answer...

well one thing you had to see is this sin came in truth men and to saved men kine sin will have to go out Truth men see by the spreading of his blood we was saved if the accusers know that by his sacrifice he was giving freedom of sin and we will be saved then they will not have him hung also everything has its on time is not when we think is right time but when GOD think is the right time because we all have a purpose in life but we are blind and fail to recognize our call and God likes to used those who wants to serve him and obey him like Adam Noah Abraham Issac Jacob Samuel Gideon Elijah Daniel and not hundreds thousands of people to make sure we don't have a excuse and the grand judgment of the white throne

We don't know all the reasons why God does things and He really doesn't have to explain Himself in all things because He's God. If you think of Him like the Ultimate parent then think back through your childhood. Did your parents tell you everything? Probably not. They told you what you needed to know and no more. As far as sending His son. I think He wanted to show that He was willing to sacrifice the biggest sacrifice ever for us to show us how much He loves us. He got the point across for a lot of us. I think He's proven Himself over and over again, but people still want to deny Him and always question His motives. God's only motive for us is to live with Him in Heaven for eternity. I don't think that's a bad motive. Do you?

Jesus is not just the SON of GOD, He is GOD INCARNATE.
The devil thought that by Jesus's death upon the cross, he won, CHRIST was killed by the JEWS (those of the JEWISH faith)... So the devil thought he had won the battle, when infact it was SUPPOSED to happen, Jesus was meant to DIE for ALL THE SINS of all MANKIND, that we may be forgiven and if we believe, may have ETERNAL LIFE.
God chose you, He chose me, He chose Everyone who will come to Him and Believe in His SON who is GOD, then We may have ETERNAL LIFE IN PARADISE.
All you have to do is believe.
Jesus went into the depths and TOOK the Keys of the ABYSS from the SERPENT/ the devil.
Which by the way, the devil had gained those keys, or "basically control over the world, which was GIVEN to MAN by GOD,...ADAM AND EVE"...
But When they sinned against God, they gave up the control to the devil.
That is why JESUS had to die on the CROSS, that He would TAKE AWAY the SINS of MANKIND, and that HE WOULD OVERCOME DEATH.
PRAISE GOD.
I hope you believe it.
It will save your life...

You might equally question why God did not destroy His creation the moment sin entered this world. God only knows.
We do however know that God not only let Jesus die on the cross but that Jesus came into this world for that very purpose. He came as God in the flesh so that He might win back from Sin and Satan, the authority over death on behalf of man. The authority that Adam lost to Sin and Satan in the Garden of Eden.
He died on the cross as a just punishment for our sins so that we might be saved from the curse of our sin.
Rom 6:9-11
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (KJV)
