Even as I type there is this evangelist standing in front of my compound preaching....there is this question am itching to ask him but since I am not the one he is directly preaching to I don't want to appear rude or nosey...lemme ask hopefully someone here can throw more light on this issue...Why exactly did Christ come to earth to die for our sins.....I have been taught over the years that God is the creator heaven and earth, he has the power to forgive do all things and FORGIVE sins....If these were True how come GOD could not forgive Adam(man's) sin HIMSELF..why did Jesus have to come and die like a sacrificial animal for man to get redemption....couldn't baba GOD just by himself say 'okay Man, u have been forgiven and free from sin'....afterall he is GOD and whatever HE says is true and law.........

This is not to diss any religion....me just need someone to clarify things for me.

He came to die for our sins to show how great our sins are..

This and similar questions rush into my mind since when i was little. I think sometime we need a specific, convincing answers.

Bye the way, i ended up believing that Jesus Christ came to bring light into the darkened world only; to bring the word of truth for human redeption.

Meanwhile He was murdered. Not died for anyone's sin!

That would have been a much easier explanation....but HE is the all powerful son of GOD, how would ordinary people manage to kill HIM unless he allowed himself to be killed.

I think He was subjecting to the laws of nature, having being on earth cloaked with flesh and blood. Jesus was able to feel pain, hunger and other natural phenomenom, thus could be killed.
Remeber HE himself said that HE had come to fulfil the laws, but not to change them. Otherwise He would had just appeared somewhere on the earth, rather than being born through woman!

Before he came, they are using ram blood and God want that to stop that is why he send his son.

Couldn't HE just do that without HIS son coming down to earth to die....it's not like HE answers to any1 na.

Quite an interesting question. There is always a bible answer to any bible question.
I hope my explanation would be helpful.
To begin with, the coming of christ has been prophesied long before he came. The story of the children of Israel is a replica of the church's walk with God. In Genesis, after Adam and Eve Fell, what ought to befall them was death because God warned them from beginning that they would die the day they eat the fruit. And true to His word, death was the remedy but because He is a loving father and He a lamb and killed it.
It was the skin that he used to cloth Adam and Eve. Also in the old testament, it would be recalled that God accepted the offering of Abel and rejected Cains own because Abels sacrifice was done by revelation. He knew that redemption/atonement can only come by the blood. Also when the children were about to leave Egypt, blood was required. Through the times in the wilderness, if there was any sin, only blood could atone for them. These were just a shadow of things to come. It would be recalled that animals are lower than humans and as such, those practise were a temporal appeasement method. In creation, man is highest after God and as such, it would require a blood higher than man to atone for him. His fellow human couldn't even do. It have to take God himself to come down and put on a body of flesh to atone for man.
That was why He was born in a manger were animals are kept because He is the lamb to be slain for man kind. The reason why God came in the flesh was to take the place of man and show us the way to him (above). That was why he was always talking about "my father". If he had pointed himself as God, when he was crucified, which God will men point to? Am sure a big man will arise and say He is god. That will be antichrist. Without blood there cant be atonement. Even in traditional religion, they even kill animal just to appease their small gods. Where did they learn that from?...from the head of principality and power. God Himself.

Nice one there my dear bro. ORIENTNIGERIA. I would love to add one or two things but let me wait and see if our people asking the question understand what you posted.

However, let me drop this passage: "for the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the alter to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul". Leviticus 17:11.

Thanks Eben2, that quote would sure do a lot of good just as it did to me. God bless you real good.

GOD is perfect in every way and principled, so on principle He has said that sin can be forgiven, but it must be paid for... "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." - Hebrews 9:22

Only God Himself, in the Person of The Lord Jesus Christ is qualified to make that payment... He didn't have to, but selflessly did according to His will. I just thank GOD that there is such an indescribable opportunity for regeneration and reconciliation with Him.

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." - 1 John 2:1-2

. Such a beautiful topic! @OP, christ's coming to planet earth was to primarily do the following: 1. To offer FORGIVENESS øƒ sins. 2. To show how much God loves us and to redeem us back to HIM. 3. To Offer GRACE to us all... Christ fulfilled the law which no man ever did. Christ was sin-free. He was perfect, yet He never accepted That He was perfect. He lived Holy...yet, He was crucified as a sinner, ƒσя the purpose øƒ which He bore our sins. In essence, He came to offer righteousness to anyone that believes in Him.....#TeamHeaven#

I love your rightful idea... yes Ye brought us into a new vision mistery understanding of God as well opened our mindset on how to approach the lord present.. after the Adams sins biblically he died ,,death in a way that the relationship btwn Adam and God was shunt, this really gave the generation after Adam big problems to addresses and approach God.
Christ came to renew the face of God and his love might on earth.. God blesses his words in our life

This thread is funny. Everybody just saying what they think.
