How can Jesus free us of our sin?

Question

How is it that Jesus free's christians of their sins when the one's responsible of each and every sin they make is themselves. Why does he have to take responsible for all of the sins when we ourself have to blame.And if he was already crucified to free the people then of their sins does that still include the present. I'm not a christion so please somebody explain.

Answer 1

We are all responsible for our own sins I don't believe Jesus can get rid of them for us only God only can forgive us from our sins!. But I'm not a Christian so I don't believe in the theory you have put so you may not agree with my answer but this is my belief!.

Answer 2

Jesus frees us by seperating us from it. We are still responsible for it and pay the "fines" for it here on earth, but He will not count it against us later. He doesn't HAVE to take responsiblity, but He does because He loves us that much.

Think of it this way, as a father, is there anything you WOULDN'T do for your children? What we feel for other people is only a tiny fragment of His love for us.

Yes, that includes up to the present and the future. Just as Moses lifted up the bronze snake in the wilderness and all who gazed upon it were cured, so too is it with Jesus. He was raised up in the same manner and all people who look upon Him and believe will see and be cured. It was a choice He made to pay the price, and He know it was coming and He went ahead anyway. Did He have too? No. But if He didn't all people would fail and be lost. Nobody else was qualified and so He did what needed to be done, and it cost His life.

Answer 3

The Bible explains that we are all sinners, Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

We were created to be in a relationship with God but our sins keep us separated from Him. There is nothing we can do to get right with God. In the OT, the Israelites were asked to sacrifice animals for the atonement of sins, as it's only by the shedding of blood that sins can be atoned for. The life of an animal is in it's blood, which is why it was necessary.

Given that we can do nothing to get right with God on our own, God had a plan to help us. He sent Jesus, the only man who never sinned, to die in our place. The wages of sin are death. We are all destined to be separated from God (that's what Hell is, a place without the presence of God).
Jesus died a horrific death and basically stood in your place to take the punishment you deserve. He had all your sins blamed on him so you could be forgiven. Because he was sinless, death had no claim on him, which is how he was able to come back 3 days later, and ascend into heaven.
Your debt has been paid but it's a gift, one you need to recieve and open. It's no good if you know what Jesus did but don't take the gift offered to you.
And yes, Jesus died for all sins for all time, which means that God (who is outside of time) knows in advance what we are going to do, and has forgiven us anyway.

Answer 4

Before Jesus died on the cross, people had to sacrifice their best lamb or other animal but mostly lambs to be forgiven or as you like to call it free from sin. God sent Jesus, His only son, to Earth to die on the cross and become the ultimate sacrifice. Now we don't have to sacrifice our lambs. Jesus is our lamb so that is why He has to take responsibility of forgiving us of our sins.

This is a good question and it makes me think that maybe you might have some interest in Christianity. If you do then please visit a church or read the bible. If I can help you out with anything just let me know.

Answer 5

the myth goes, that Jesus died on the cross to pay for the sins of MANKIND, but you can only subscribe to this, 'get out of hell card', if you give yourself to Christ word for the rest of your life, you must spread this word and teach this word to others, you must live by the word, judge by the word, you must hate others that are not followers of the word and you must do this until the end of your days, if you do not, then Jesus will not let you use your pass, thus you will be damned and spend eternity in the bowels of Hell..
this MYTH, was made up by the Church to subjugate your mind from free will and of free thought, it just imprisons the conscience and destroys your capacity to reason and use logic. The Christians have been taken from their God and they are now ruled over by the Jesus myth, a myth that the church created, to take payment for their souls (conscience).
Jesus did not exist, he was pieced together, using ex-certs from the Book of the Dead, Jewish fables - Prophets, and Pagan rituals, nothing more, it was and shall always be a tool of the Church, to fixate the mind on their lies and keep the truth hidden forever!

FACT, the Trinty of the Logos was something that was VOTED on within the Nicene Creed of 325. How can something that was voted on be truth? How can something so divine, be pushed through, for the political gain of an Emperor ( Constantine)?

Answer 6

This is a great question and I will try to answer to the best of my ability.

Each individual is responsible for his or her sin, but when Jesus came and died, He promised He would seed the Comforter (Holy Spirit) to live on the inside of those individuals that diligently seek Him. Go to John 14:12-18.

The Holy Spirit (Jesus) is given when we repent and are baptized in Jesus Name as found in the book of Acts 2:38.

So when Jesus comes to live inside of us, it is He who helps us overcome our sin nature.

Hoped this helps some. Go to www.endtime.com and on the left side, click on "document library" and click "view all documents by title" and find "What Do You Mean Born Again", print it off and read it.

I received the indwelling of Gods Spirit in 2003, it is my first true experience with God.

God Bless You.

Answer 7

You are asking an intelligent question.
Sins cause illness and disease to form in the body.
The results of a sinful life are suffering and early death.
Our spirits can be healed and set free from sin by following the example of Christ and the Apostles. Their example through sanctification, or the cleansing of the spirit by prayer, can liberate us from spiritual bondage, disease and death.
Jesus was crucified because he pointed to the error of the teaching supported by Judaism at the time.
His became powerful, a revolutionary hero, because he was a man of truth and he had an acended spirit. He came to show us that it is possible for men to receive true power from God, in order to serve humanity. He was a heavenly messenger.
Evil men plotted his death and he made no effort to resist what he knew was coming. He submitted fully to God's will for his life. The bible says cursed is the man who hangs from a tree. Jesus became a curse for us, to show us how great his love was for us. By achieving sanctification through faith, his aim was to open up the true way for people to get into heaven. Few people in the world would die for a righteous man today, but Christ died to reveal the way for sinners.
Jesus said that anyone wishing to come after him, must do as he did. The 3-fold will of the father is to pray daily, read the scriptures daily and submit to sanctification (spiritual cleansing to remove sin from your spirit). By doing these things you will be set apart and made Holy.

Answer 8

We also carry the adamic sin from Adam and lost eternal life, Thur Jesus we gained a chance to life back but have to pay the cost for now death.

Answer 9

Free from the bondage of sin.That means we are not slaves to sin.The Adamic sin nature is still there.We still stumble in life.We are perfect in Christ Jesus,not of ourselves.Sin is not habitual in the life of a Christian.And ours sins are washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ shed at Calvary's Cross.Nothing but that finished work on the Cross covers sin.

Answer 10

The Bible says in the book of Hebrews that without the shedding of blood their is no remission of sins, the bible also says that the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins because an animal isnot perfect, Jesus Christ the son of God came in the form of man and died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to wash away our sins. He arose from the grave making us away to be saved and born again so we can become a child of God. The Bible says that Jesus died once for all sins, once, for past and present and future sins, because he was perfect, and the son of God with his blood atonement on the cross at calvery cleansed us forever. The bible says the wages of sin is Death. Read the book of Romans. The bible says for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, so God has said that all men are sinners so that all men and woman of course canbe saved, Jesus said, accept a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven. Read John 3:16, great verse, so in order to go to Heaven we must believe in Jesus, When we believe and accept the free gift of the Holy Spirit that comes from Jesus and lives in our hearts that cleanses us and makes us white as snow, we still sin of course everday but we can ask God to forgive us and he will, its his promise to believers. Now if you are not a believer the only Prayer Jesus hears is the Sinners Prayer, just say this prayer with a believing heart and you willbe saved, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!
