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

A State Of Peace Or Turbulence? My Peace I Leave With You: If It Was Not So, I Would Not Have Told You.

A State of Peace or Turbulence? You choose. You decide.

Which one do you want?

As Christians, we can have peace amid turbulent circumstances.

...If it was not so, I would not tell you... said Jesus in John 14:2. While Jesus' statement concerning this declaration was that In His Father's house there are many mansions and He was going to prepare a place for those who have run to Him for refuge; Jesus told us another statement in John 16:33 that if it was not true, He would not tell it."I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Fear not, for I Am with you; be not dismayed, for I Am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I Am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...Isaiah 43:2-3

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

If it was not so Jesus/God wouldn't tell us that.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; Philippians 4:6

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.1 Peter 5:7

God Is Not In A Panic: How Is It In Heaven, The Christian's Future Home

Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. Proverbs 12:25

God is not in a panic

Rom 8.33-37, Phil 4:4-7, James 1:2, psalm 37:1-4, psalm 27:3

God Knows You And Loves You! Psalm 139

God says what He means and He means what He says.

It is to the benefit of the Christian to believe what God says.

We know that the Bible/Scripture is God's Word dictated to men for penning. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God...2 Timothy 3:16

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty (void) but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11

What God says through the psalmist in Psalm 139 is what God means concerning the ones who have taken refuge in Jesus.

The Lord knows you and is acquainted with you and desires to take your hands and walk with you in this life, in this season.

Tune in and let us discuss Psalm 139!

The Grace Conversation: God's Grace Is Fundamental To The Christian

The grace conversation...

God's grace is fundamental to the Christian and his/her walk with the Lord. It is the oxygen that gives us the ability to still be considered holy while we proceed to die to the flesh daily.

One of our hosts was thinking about God's wonderful gift of grace this week. That while we were yet sinners He sent His only Son to die so that we might live. We did not deserve or earn this gift. He gave it to us freely.

Romans 3: 23-24 declares, ...All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by His grace thru the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

What does the grace of God mean in our lives? How are we living?

In Isaiah 43:25, God says. I, yes I alone will blot out your sins for My sake and will never think of them again.

Does knowing that as Christians we are redeemed give us a license to sin because we know or believe God will forgive us? How does God's grace work in our lives?

There are so many aspects to it. What is grace exactly, what does it do, what does it look like and what is its purpose?

The Bible answers all these questions. See Titus 2:11-14, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, Luke 13:3, Romans 6:4, Matthew 3:8, 2 Peter 3:9, John 3: 5,16, 2 Timothy 1:9, Galatians 5:13-26 and Proverbs 24:16

Grace saves and enables us to live the life of godliness we are called to live after accepting Jesus Christ.

To understand grace, we must understand repentance, the life we are called to live, and the purpose of grace.

Storms? Jesus Is The Master Of Them.

Storms? If you are alert today, you will notice this season is storm-filled.

Thinking a lot about the storms that are upon us, which brought up the story of "Jesus calming of the storm" in Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, and Luke 8:22–25.

The disciples thought many thoughts, including questioning whether or not Jesus cared for their wellbeing.

As He concerned Himself with the wellbeing of the disciples in their storm, Jesus, our Anchor is concerned about us His followers.

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33

For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth. Job 19:25

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust. Psalm 91:2

He got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:39

Tell Me What I Want To Hear Or Tell Me The Word of God: Do We/You Really Know The Word of God?

During this difficult time, we see a lack of biblical understanding among the Church. We want to encourage sincere believers to stay with God and not move with culture.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Timothy 4:3-4.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15.
