Why Did Jesus Die? |
THE PRESENCE OF SIN . . .
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, sin
invaded the human race.
"Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world,
and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, FOR THAT ALL HAVE
SINNED:" Romans 5:12
". . . for there is no difference. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED,
and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:22b-23
"If we say that we have not sinned, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR,
and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:10
"If we say that we have no sin, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES, and the truth
is not in us." 1 John 1:8
THE PENALTY OF SIN . . .
"For the wages of sin is DEATH; . . ." Romans
6:23a
Not just physical death, but something far more serious — SPIRITUAL
DEATH — in hell!
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: WHICH
IS THE SECOND DEATH." Revelation 21:8
THE PAYMENT OF SIN . . .
To cover the sin of Adam and Eve, THE BLOOD of an innocent
lamb was shed. (Gen. 3:21)
" . . . John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold THE
LAMB of God, which TAKETH AWAY THE SIN of the world." John 1:29
Friend, Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross to pay the penalty
for YOUR sin!
"Who his own self bare OUR SINS in his own body on the tree,.
. ." 1 Peter 2:24
" . . . Unto him that loved us, and washed us from OUR SINS in his
own BLOOD," Revelation 1:5b
What can wash away my sIn?
NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS!
Not church membership, not sacrements, not baptism, not
good works,
" . . . without shedding of BLOOD is no remission." Hebrews
9:22
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by
his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:8-9
Friend, If you've never been saved, don't wait another minute?
YOU CAN BE SAVED THIS VERY MINUTE!
It's simple to be saved ...
Know you're a sinner.
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one:" Romans 3:10
"... for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
That Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins.
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the
tree, ..." 1 Peter 2:24
"... Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood," Revelation 1:5
And the best way you know how, simply trust Him, and Him
alone as your personal Savior.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life." John 3:16
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE SAVED?
Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.
Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost
forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary. I come to you now, Lord
the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my
Savior. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen.
