Why Did Jesus Die?

Why did Jesus die?

We were made to commune with God, disobedient to God (sin) interfered with Men communing with God. God not willing to permanently part with His image made a way to reinstate our communion through the death of Jesus Christ Who was sinless.

For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in Whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:2

Jesus died for “the forgiveness of our sins.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Humanity was perishing because of sin and God because of a crazy love for His creations gave His sinless Son Jesus to die so men can reunite with Him (Hebrews 4:​15.).

Men's problem is sin (separation from God).

Our sins, my and your sin is the reason Jesus died.

...O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! ...Romans 7:24-25

Everything else we enjoy as believers is the icing on the cake, but the forgiveness of sin, redemption is the cake.

See Romans 5:​19, Romans 6:​23, Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 2:2, Romans 5:​12, Romans 5:​21, Romans 7:18-23, Luke 4:18

Dream With God ...


(Imagine Job's loses and God still gave him a future)


...The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9. See also Genesis 37, specifically, verses 5-11 an example of God revealing His heart to Joseph.

At what point do you stop dreaming?

For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ Acts 17:28

Anyone who is among the living has hope --even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! Ecclesiastes 9:4. Also see Joshua 14, specifically, verses 6-14 to see Caleb's example of dreaming with God Still at 85 years old.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12

What are the dreams planted by God in your heart? Has God changed His mind about people reaching out to Him via prayer so He can reveal His heart in their hearts? Is prayer still relevant in our lives? Is it optional or a lifeline?

See Nehemiah 1:5-11, Nehemiah 7:5-7, Nehemiah 2:12

It is not over!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11.

Tune in and be encouraged to dream with God in this season of your life.
