Why did Jesus have to die for us? Why did he have to suffer?

Question

I don't belave Jesus was needed to be crucified, it was just Gods only way to love us. The lord our God says seek ye first the kingdom of God and ALL his righteousness. If a man like me seeked after God to learn the ways of righteousness, we would die righteous. The blood was given cuss no one wanted to desire after God in there life, or his ways, but desire there own way. Then we die in sin, and death would destroy us. God sent his son to us to be the perfect sacrifice, we die with him. he puts his righteousness upon us through the blood. I bet God did not want his son to be a sacrifice, he just wanted everyone in there life to long after him and his righteousness, and die righteous, then go home.God only said to Adam and Eve do not eat from this tree cuss U will die, did not say U would be sinful just have the knowledge of Good and evil. If we seek Gods face, can he not Aline us with good, instead of both, and be like him, but we would die as good people in his eyes. more..

so with this knowledge of seeking his face, to learn his ways as father God instructed us. Is this not the path to complete righteousness in his eyes without the sacrifice of his son, the beating of Jesus for us, the nails in his hands. In my eyes God wants all of us to be as righteous as him, but no one seeks after him, except for me?Romans 3:11-18. Why can't people lay down there lives like me, put away there world, sit down with God in prayer and ask him over and over for his righteousness, to walk good in his eyes. To let the son of God know we love him and my life is yours. So my theory is U can be a perfect person in his eyes, but u have to seek him and learn the ways of righteousness. All Christians say U have to sin, its part of us.

then I say why did God send his son for something we can't help with. Maybe U need to seek after him and let God say its impossible for me to make U good. Nothing is impossible for God, Ive been seeking his face for 6 years now. Now the blood has been shed, so it would be a dishonor for us to decline what he has done, its just a way to let God know we love him, and we Love your name rightous. Jesus cried for help 3 times. Mattew 26:39,42,44. Who has seeked his face till rightousness falls on them. Hosea 10:4. Any can be like God Luke. 17:5-6. We became like him when we ate the tree(U just want to sin)Genesis 3:22.

Answer 1

Jesus had to die for us. He had to suffer in order to pay for our debt. We were supposed to die and experience eternal suffering in hell. So in order to save us from eternal death and give us eternal life, God had to give His Son, Jesus Christ to die for us because He is the perfect sacrifice. He had no sin. As for us, nobody is perfect. We are sinful. We need Jesus. And, yes, it is a way of God showing His love for us, but it is not the only way. But it is the ONLY way He chose to save us. If we were to be saved just by God's power, who do you think will believe it? Few, perhaps, but He chose to sacrifice His Son Jesus to show how much He loves us. It is the ultimate level of love anyone can give.

John 14:6 says, "Jesus said, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." (sorry for the all-caps letters. I didn't know what to use to emphasize them. :))

WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE

Here is what the Bible says. God created the 1st humans as perfect—in the image of God. ( Gen 1:27;31) That means they have the prospect of everlasting life on a paradise earth. This was subject to one condition, though: they OBEY God by not eating the fruit of the forbidden tree. ( Gen 2:17)

Unfortunately, they disobeyed /rebelled against God and thereby lost their perfect life. ( Gen 3:19) How would God solve the problem since (even the unborn) children of Adam and Eve lost their original purpose—to live forever on a paradise earth? They inherited nothing but death. ( Romans 5:18,19)

In his great love for fallen mankind, God provided the RANSOM provision. The ancient Israelites were familiar w/ this “ransom provision” as shown in their offerings of the blood of animals as sacrifice for their sins. ( Leviticus 17:11)

This was however just a foreshadowing—a sort of a drama-- of the shedding of the precious blood of Jesus. But, why Jesus and not any other humans have to die? Because the life that Adam lost was no ordinary life it was PERFECT life. So, under the law of God—life for life—a perfect life was needed to redeem the perfect life that was lost. ( Compare w/ Psalm 49:7,8) Since no human could pay that price. God had to send Jesus to provide that ransom. Jesus confirmed this when he said: ‘the Son of Man came to give his life a RANSOM for many’. ( Matthew 20:28)

And so Jesus had to die to pay the ransom. His death shows the great love God, and Jesus have for mankind. (John 3:16; 15:13)

Thank you for the question. For those of you who want to know more about this, go to any Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Tomorrow, April 2 at sundown, they will celebrate the only holiday that Jesus’ commanded to be celebrated: his death. ( Luke 22:19)

Answer 3

Jesus' suffering and death was permitted in order to allow Satan and the forces of evil to bring about their own destruction, as no one, not even the devil himself, has the authority to take the life of a sinless man, let alone the only son of God.

Answer 4

Jesus could have come down from the cross if he chose to. Remember he is God. He let his blood be shed for you, he let sinful man crucify him for your sins. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

He loves you. You put allot of thought into your post. Jesus is Lord over all. Don't let the teachings of man made religions get your eyes off of him.

Answer 5

We would not be able to return to God's presence to live again without the Savior Jesus Christ. Only the clean, the righteous, the pure in heart, the perfect could dwell in the presence of God. Knowing that we are not perfect, and that we would sin while upon the eart, God in his infinite wisdom prepared a way so by us imperfect men (and women) could over come our errors and sins and be able to live with God again.
The laws of justice require that the wages of sins be paid and compensated. Since were are imperfect, we needed someone to pay the ransom for us. That person is the Savior Jesus Christ. he being a perfect Lamb without blemish, came down to the earth and took upon him the sins and shortcomings of all of us, including the sins of all mankind living and in the future.
The Savior, by his great atoning sacrifice in the Garden of Gethsemane and upon the cross at Calvary, paid the price with his death. Only a perfect being, the Holy One of Israel, a perfect god could satisfy justice. Jesus provided for us with his mercy the way to overcome death. Without Christ, this could not be.
We are now all able to overcome death and sin, and live eternally with God.

Answer 6

It is very clear in scripture, that Jesus came as our substitute.
To take your sin, and mine on his own body on the cross.
To pay our penalty for our wrongs.
In order to redeem us..and all mankind from an eternity of Hell we so rightfully deserved.
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Answer 7

Killing a man is not a way to love, its a way of intimidation. If you killed your son to prove to someone you loved them, they would think of you as a sick person, yet Jehova does it and he gets worshipped for it. Now thats hypocracy.

Answer 8

He had to sacrifice himself to himself to save us from himself. It all makes perfect sense.
