This Is Why Christians Believe That Jesus Died For Sins by SPTruth: 6:38am On May 29, 2022 |
Have you ever wondered why people say Jesus died for our sins? Here's why. According to the Judgement seat of the Righteous God, the wages of sin is death(Rom 6:23) A cue to the old testament you will see death and other punishment that were to be meted on those who sinned. For instance, the punishment for adultery was to be stoned to death(Deut 22:22-24). But, God doesn't want to see people die and at the same time His rules must be met for He is a God of Justice, that was why He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for sins. Let me give an analogy, Imagine if a Principal of a School had a beautiful artifact in the school hall and he said anyone who breaks this artifact will pay 1 million naira, then, a girl from a very poor home who clearly cannot afford to pay 1million breaks it. She begins to cry and plead for forgiveness for the Principal, the Principal has no problem forgiving her, but who will pay the 1million that is the penalty for whoever breaks it. Then the Principal's son rose up, and said I will pay the 1million. The Principal agreed, he forgave her as the penalty has been paid, and the girl thanked the Son, who told her Go, your sins are forgiven, but don't sin again. Jesus, the Son of God, came as man and died for our sins, hence the person that commits adultery no longer needs to be stoned to death, in accordance with the law of Moses, because Jesus has been "stoned to death" on his behalf, someone who sinned no longer needs to carry 3 lambs and doves for sacrifices because the Blood that Jesus shed has become the lambs, doves and other animals needed for reconciliation sacrifice. Now we live by Grace of the Lord Jesus and not by Law of Moses. That is why Jesus said in Matt 5:17, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. By His death, all the requirements, penalties were all fulfilled. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that Grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, continue living in it? (Romans 6:1-2). It is wrong to continue committing sin on purpose because we know if ask God for forgiveness in the Name of Jesus, He will forgive us. Imagine if the student in the story above continues breaking the artifact on purpose because she knows the Principal's son will pay for her, wouldn't that be unreasonable on her part? By the Grace of Our Lord Jesus, May we not be unreasonable Christians, but Kings and Priests who strive to do Right in the eyes of God, through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2 Likes |

SPTruth: If I don't sin, which sin of mine has he now died for? What will be wasteful to me is for me not to sin. I have to sin to justify his dying for me. Don't you think so? |

Re: This Is Why Christians Believe That Jesus Died For Sins by Dtruthspeaker: 12:17pm On May 29, 2022 |
pdppower: And immediately you are born, the stain of sin is upon you. And even if that one is not considered, it is guaranteed that you first sinned and you would first sin before you learnt that you should not sin. So, there is no "No sin" for any man. |

pdppower:This is how it works. Sinning purposely attracts the wrath of God, it is a different thing if you fornicate with someone by falling into temptation then you repent before God and promise not to sin again, but when you have a steady partner, you go to church, you listen to sermons that tell you not to fornicate, you come back and sleep with your partner, and you repeat the pattern week in week out, at first your conscience will begin to judge, later it will be weakened and you will stop feeling guilty. However, if you turn to the Lord and repent and promise not to continue, He will forgive you, but if His wrath falls on you because of your sin and it angers him, the protection He has over you might be removed completely or partially, then the devil will have an opening to harm you, it could be an accident, sickness etc, but if you die in that sin, you will ve seperated eternally fron God. |

pdppower:The so-called Christians the OP refers to are ofcourse wrong. It is the Jews whose sins Jesus Christ died for, this in order to cover their debt to God's Old Covenant, so they could instead adopt God's New Covenant which He promised to bless them and all the nations of the world with. ![]() |

Re: This Is Why Christians Believe That Jesus Died For Sins by Dtruthspeaker: 2:05pm On May 29, 2022 |
compton11: Because it is a Clean Cloth (Righteous) that is used to wipe a cherished dirty thing (Sinner) . |

Re: This Is Why Christians Believe That Jesus Died For Sins by Dtruthspeaker: 5:59pm On May 29, 2022 |
compton11: Mechanics don't clean, they cause the dirt that we car owners have to clean by taking it to the car wash. The car wash people clean and they use clean sponges, clean wipes and clean water to clean. So, you are talking complete rubbish. |
