If Jesus died for our sins?

Question

Should we continue to sin? Or else it will have been all in vain surely?

And was it just for the sins up to that point or for all the sins for all time?

For all time? So thats me covered?! Excellent...

Dennis I would like to but I just dont have the time maybe someone could give me the jist of it?

Answer 1

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.

If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.

First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.

How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?

It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.

One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.

Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.

If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.

If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.

How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.

Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.

If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.

How likely is that????

Think about it.

Answer 2

If I washed dirt off your face would you go stick your face in the dirt again? The goal is to clean you up and keep you clean. If you get dirty again (by accident) that is where forgiveness and the blood of Jesus come in and cleanse you of all unrighteousness or not right behavior!
While we are on this earth we will never be free from the opportunity to sin but after we give our hearts to Jesus the inclination toward sin is removed and we can begin our life as a brand new baby learning to live in this world under God's tutelage

Answer 3

When Jesus died for our sins, his sacrifice was so great. His blood can wash away all our sins. The sins of the past, present and the future. It is our choice whether we will have our sins forgiven or not. All we must do to be forgiven is to truly repent, believe that he died for us, and that only he is our hope of salvation. His blood is for free. He didn't require anything from us. He freely gave up his life. And all we have to do to partake of that blood is to come to him and surrender everything to him.

Once we accept Jesus into our lives through baptism, we die a spiritual death. All the sinful and evil ways in us will die. Then we will ressurect into a new life. A new creation. We must no longer return to our evil ways and give in to our sinful desires. But we must instead reflect Christ's character in our lives.

Answer 4

Would you die like Jesus and claim to be christian who submitted to the will of God. It is not worthy for anyone to died for the sin of others as Jesus fought to liberate mankind from their sins. Bhasphemy are for those who like to build walls of deceptions to protect their own mistakes at the expense of individual life on earth and next world. Jesus is an example for man by The God. A powerful king but yet still man.

Answer 5

He took away the sins and washed us in His blood. If we sin, we just need to ask forgiveness. When the Holy Spirit comes in He starts a purifying and refining process. One part of the Bible says that we walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. We do not want to disappoint the Lord because we love Him so much.

Answer 6

There is no sin. Jesus probably died of old age and didn't die for anyone's "sins". According to the writings of the earliest christians, what Jesus meant by "resurrection" was a spiritual awakening, nothing more. After Jesus "resurrected" he taught his desciples on the Mount of Olives for eleven years.

Answer 7

Paul addresses this in alot of detail in Romans. The book isn't long, so I hope you'll give it a read.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans...6th book of the NT.

Happy reading!

In Christ,

Dennis

Answer 8

Romans 6

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Answer 9

Jesus died so that those who put faith in this ransom may turn around and produce fruits befitting repentance -- Godly works.

By means of the baptism, they symbolize this change in direction of their lives, and promise God to serve him for all eternity doing their utmost to live holy and unblemished lives.

If they continue in their trespasses after having come to accurate knowledge there remains no longer any sacrifice to deliver them from damnation.

Answer 10

We should try not to sin 'cause God forbids us to sin. But if you sinned, then ask God for forgiveness & always count your blessings. Oh ya... Jesus died for all sins: past, present, & future.
