Why did Jesus die on the cross for our sins?

So Jesus lived a life without sin on our behalf. John 3:17 says, “God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” By sacrificing himself for us on the cross, he took the punishment for all of our sins at once.

What did Jesus’s death do?

By his death, which is indeed the one and most true sacrifice offered for us, he purged, abolished and extinguished whatever guilt there was by which the principalities and powers lawfully detained us to pay the penalty. He offered sacrifice for our sins.

What did Jesus do for us to be saved?

Jesus saves from slavery to sin to freedom. Jesus saves us from eternal death to eternal life. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus said, “He who believes in Me will never die” (John 11:26).

How does Jesus give himself to us today?

Jesus poured out His life — “He poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with transgressors. For he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12). This means that he literally gave up his life and emptied himself so that we could become full. He made intercession for us.

Why did Jesus have to die for our sins?

Yet, in His grace, Jesus chose to die on our behalf. He took our punishment for us. As He died “for our sins,” as our substitute, He prayed that we would be forgiven. Since our penalty has already been paid, God will forgive all who put their trust in Jesus. Jesus’ death means that we have access to God.

What does the Bible say about the death of Christ?

The death of Christ as our substitute is the heart of the gospel. It’s not just that He died, but that He died for our sins. The first thing Jesus said regarding the ministry of the Holy Spirit was that He would convict the world of sin (John 16:8).

What does Jesus’ death mean for us today?

Jesus’ death means that we have access to God. In John 14:6, Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Sin had separated us from God, but, at the moment of Christ’s death, the veil in the temple, separating the priests from the presence of God, was ripped in two ( Mark 15:38 ).

What would happen without the death of Jesus?

Answer: Simply put, without Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins, no one would have eternal life. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
