15 Reasons Why Jesus Came by waleborntowin(m): 8:32am On Sep 21, 2015 |
1. Jesus Christ came into the world to save
sinners.
1 Timothy 1:15, "This is a faithful saying,
and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
of whom I am chief."
2. Jesus Christ came into the world to call sinners
to repentance.
Mark 2:17, "When Jesus heard it, he saith
unto them, They that are whole have no
need of the physician, but they that are
sick: I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance."
3. Jesus Christ came into the world to seek and
save the lost.
Luke 19:10, "For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was lost."
4. Jesus came into the world to demonstrate the
true purpose of life and give Himself a ransom.
Matthew 20:28, "Even as the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many."
5. Jesus Christ came into the world to be a King
and bear witness to the truth.
John 18:37, "Pilate therefore said unto
him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end
was I born, and for this cause came I into
the world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth. Every one that is of the truth
heareth my voice."
6. Jesus Christ came into the world to do the Will
of His Father.
John 6:38, "For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me."
7. Jesus Christ came into the world to be a Light
in the world.
John 12:46, "I am come a light into the
world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness."
8. Jesus Christ came into the world that men
might have the Abundant Life.
John 10:10, "I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly."
9. Jesus Christ came into the world to Judge the
world.
John 9:39, "And Jesus said, For judgment I
am come into this world, that they which
see not might see; and that they which see
might be made blind."
10. Jesus Christ came into the world to Proclaim or
preach the Good News about the Kingdom of
God.
Mark 1:38, "And he said unto them, Let us
go into the next towns, that I may preach
there also: for therefore came I forth."
11. Jesus Christ came into the world to die on the
cross.
John 12:27, "Now is my soul troubled; and
what shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour: but for this cause came I unto this
hour."
12. Jesus Christ came into the world to fulfil the
law.
Matthew 5:17, "Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am
not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
13. Jesus Christ came into the world to be a
Divider of men.
Matthew 10:34, 35, "Think not that I am
come to send peace on earth: I came not
to send peace, but a sword. For I am come
to set a man at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother, and
the daughter in law against her mother in
law."
(Christ makes it necessary to choose between
relatives and the truth. This choice often
causes division.)
14. Jesus Christ came into the world as a
demonstration of God's Love.
1 John 4:10, "Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and sent
his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
15. Jesus Christ came into the world because the
Father sent Him.
John 20:21, "Then said Jesus to them
again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you."
a. The Father SENT Jesus to be the
Propitiation (atonement) for our sins.
1 John 4:10, "Herein is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and
sent his Son to be the propitiation for
our sins."
b. The Father SENT Jesus and gave Jesus as
the Saviour of the world.
John 3:16-18, "For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God."
c. The Father SENT Jesus to bless us by
turning us from our iniquities.
Acts 3:26, "Unto you first God, having
raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to
bless you, in turning away every one of
you from his iniquities."
d. The Father SENT His Son to redeem us
from the curse of the law.
Galatians 4:4-5, "But when the fulness of
the time was come, God sent forth his
Son, made of a woman, made under the
law, To redeem them that were under
the law, that we might receive the
adoption of sons."
e. God SENT His Son to make possible a new
power in the hearts of men, a power to
enable him to fulfil the righteousness of the
law.
Romans 8:3,4, "For what the law could
not do, in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh: That the
righteousness of the law might be
fulfilled in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit." |
