Why did Jesus die for your/my/our sins?

Question

This question is asked to Christians..... I look forward to reading your answers.

Answer 1

As a substitute for us, dying instead of us in our place, once and for all, the just and the unjust.

Atonement, propitiation, redemption, reconciliation, sanctification... you could make a wonderful study of these relevant topics. You could also summarize it in just one word...

LOVE.

Answer 2

Why Jesus died For Us

He is our sacrificial lamb who shed his blood to cover your sins: past, present and future. If not he died at the cross in vain. He full filled (Luke 24: 44) and nailed the 10 commandments to the cross (Colossi ans 2:14). Christ did not die in vain (Galatians 2: 21). The spirit or the works of the law (Galatians 3: 2). Christ is the end of the law (Romans 10: 4). The law is our tutor no more (Galatians 3: 24 – 25). God will remember your sins no more (Hebrews 10:17). You are a sinner for life, there is nothing that you can do not to sin (1 john 1: 7 - 10). You can not go out into the world and do what ever you wish, just because Jesus covered your sins (Romans 6: 1 - 3). Hebrews 8: 7 – 13 (he wrote the laws into their hearts, so that you would know right from wrong.

If you have faith in Jesus and are obedient to God, then you are not under the 10 commandments.

If you do not believe in Jesus, then you are under the 10 commandments, now you need to bring your unblemished goat to the alter every year and sacrifice it to cover your sins but with Jesus, he is our new covenant.

You are justified by faith and not of your works

Answer 3

I know that everyone loves to, and it is the easiest answer to give the well known general reasons why, as we can see from the answers above. But the one thing that most miss is:

Genesis 3:15 "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

Jesus died because God the Father made a promise back in the beginning of time that there would justice for what Satan had done to God's creation.

Adam & Eve disobeyed God, Yes. But... Satan instigated the entire event, and for that he had to pay the consequences of his sin, just like we as humans have to.

Those consequences are the giving of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ as an atonement for man's sin, thus reconciling man, allowing him to return home to Father God, but leaving Satan out of the redemptive process, so that Satan would then be forever doomed to suffer God's final wrath for his sin against God's creation, which is outlined in the book of Revelation.

Jesus died to saves us from our sins yes. But He also died so that Satan could not be saved. Satan's punishment for his sins is to be "Left Behind"...

Here is an interesting project for you GOD Bless The USA...

Read the Bible from beginning to end, (cover to cover in order) and visualize Jesus Christ stepping out onto the pages at Genesis 1:1... And as you read, imagine every verse you are reading as footseteps.... Each verse is a footstep of Jesus walking to Revelation 22:21

You will be surprised to see Jesus waving His hand at you, as you watch Him walk on every page you turn! It sounds strange, but try it for the first few books of the OT, and you will be shocked to see the intricacy of God's Will, even down to the very arrangement of the books of the Canon!

Answer 4

God Bless the USA. That reminds me ... , when I was a child growing up here in Australia, we used to sing the national anthem everyday at school assembly, "God Save Our Gracious Queen,Long Live Our Noble Queen ....(Queen Elizabeth 2nd) etc, I never did get that. Anyhow, to your question. We have, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. For God so Loved the World... Jesus name was also called Immanuel, meaning "God with us". God became flesh, and dwelt among us. Read John 3:16, and you need never wonder again.

Answer 5

Hi,
I know the question is asked for christians, but I think we should shed some light upon islamic beliefs too...

Jesus never died, he was resurrected by God right before the people came to take him and his form was put in his place.

It is also mentioned in the Quran, that, all human beings will pay for their own sins and no one else is going to be given or taken any blame for other's sins.

It is also mentioned in the Quran that everybody, even the prophets, they come to earth once and they die once, that is also a proof that Jesus never died, he was resurrected and he will be sent down to earth to defeat the Anti Christ.

May Allah Bless Us All

Answer 6

because there was a tempory sacrfice for sin when the preist would offer up the lambs etc.they had to repete every year.
all sin has to have a blood sacrfice for atonement.
Jesus is the once and for all sacrifice to remove sin.
he said from the cross "it is finished"
without this we can not be "born again".

Answer 7

Jesus is an example of how the sun dies and rises in december.

If everything we know is based upon some modified and manipulated writings in the bible, then religion was created for absolute mind control.

God gave us a mind of our own to use it.

Answer 8

He didn't...

"And for their unbelief, and their uttering against Mary a grave false charge, and for their saying, 'We killed the messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messiah of God"…yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him are surely in doubt the following of conjecture; and they did not kill him of certainty…no indeed; God raised him up to Him; God is Almighty, Allwise. There is not one of the people of the book but will assuredly believe him before his death, and on the Resurrection Day he will be a witness against them." (An-Nissa 4:156-159)

Answer 9

To glorify God The Father.

THAT was and is the ultimate reason.

Answer 10

There is no Christian teaching which has not been anticipated by other teachers long previous to the era of Christ.

Especially the story of Crucifixion. Saviours appear in all histories or legends of great religions.

Of these [This list of Saviours is from the “World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviours”, by Kersey Graves, from which many of the authorities mentioned are quoted] we have historical accounts, allusions, or legends, of Krishna, [The Hindu Pantheon] of India, 1200 years B.C. Sakia, [Progress of Religious Ideas] of Hindustan, 600 years B.C.; Thammuz, [Ctesias, quoted in Anacalypsis] of Syria, 1100 B.C.; Wittoba, [Anacalypsis] the Telingonese, 552 B.C. ; Iao, [Georgius] of Nepaul, 622 B.C.; Hesus, [Anacalypsis] of Great Britain, 834 B.C.; Quexalcote, [Mexican Antiquities] of Mexico, 587 B.C.; Quirinus, [Higgins-Anacalypsis] of Rome, 506 B.C.; Prometheus, [Seneca and Hesiod ] of Greece, 547 B.C.; Thulis, [Wilkison] of Egypt, 1700 B.C. Indra, of Thibet,[Georgius] 725 B.C.; Alcestos, [Anacalypsis] of Greece, 600 B.C.; Atys. [Anacalypsis] of Phrygia, 1170 B.C.; Crite [Anacalypsis] of Chaldea, 1200 B.C.; Bali, [Anacalypsis] of Orissa, 725 B.C.; Mithra. [Faber and Bryant] of Persia, 600 B.C.; Salvahana, of Bermuda; Osirus, of Egypt; Horus, of Egypt; Odin, of Scandinavia; Zoroaster, of Persia; Baal, of Phoenicia; Taut, of Phoenicia; Bali, of Afghanistan; Xamolxis, of Thrace; Zoar, of the Bonzes; Adad, of Assyria; Deva Tat, of Siam; Alcides, of Thebes; Mikado, of the Sintoos ; Beddru, of Japan; Thor, of the Gauls; Cadmus, of Greece; Hil and Feta, of the Mandaites; Gentaut, of Mexico; with several others, of lesser note.

If the influence of these Saviours upon humanity be judged by their present following, it is interesting to note that Chrishna has 400,000,000 adherents; Christ, 200,000,000; Mahomet, 150,000,000; Confucius, 120,000,000; and Mithra, 50,000,000.
