I have a test about Jesus' death for you. Before you read the answers, comment what you think is the right answer.Questions:
1. Why did God send His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins?
2. Who is responsible for killing Jesus Christ?
3. Why does Jesus dying on the cross save us from our sin?
I gave you this test because it suprises me how much some people, even Christians, don't know about the death of Jesus. Please comment your answers and then come and read the true answers to see if you got them right.Answers:1. Our GOD is perfect. We can't go to heaven and see HIM if we are imperfect. The Bible says that all have sinned, making all imperfect. So, that means that if you sin, you can never see GOD. Well, GOD sent JESUS to be the perfect sacrafice for our sins. f we ask GOD for forgiveness and confess and believe JESUS died for our sins, then we will be washed in the blood of JESUS and GOD will see us as perfect.
2. You and I are responsible for killing JESUS CHRIST. Many might think it was a mob of people, Pontus Pilot, or even Santan himself. But the truth is, we are guilty of killing JESUS CHRIST. JESUS had many chances to escape from death, but if HE wouldn't have died, then we could never go to heaven because of our sin. The bottom line is: If we hadn't sinned in the first place, then JESUS wouldn't have had to die.
3. It saves us because JESUS died in our place. Back in the Old Testament days, if someone sinned, they had to make a sacrafice with an animal. Well JESUS (the Lamb) was the ultimate sacrafice to everyone! We just have to ask for fogiveness and believe HE died for us.
Well, I bet some people didn't get what they expected. I know number two probably tripped up alot of people. You might want to look up the death of JESUS to see where I got some of this. It's kind of funny that I'm talking about JESUS' death so close to HIS birth, but don't worry, I'll be on that topic soon.
