For each individual
The apostle Paul writes,
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.
C. S. Lewis puts it this way.
"He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less." C.S. Lewis.
As Christians we believe you cannot live a life good enough to get into heaven. Isaiah the Prophet put it this way.
“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” Isaiah 64:6.
That is why we believe Jesus came into this world to take upon himself the sins of all those who would believe in Him.
Jesus speaking of himself said,
"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.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
The primary reason for Jesus to come to this world is simple. To save the sinner and all of us at one time or another fall short of Gods ideals for our life.
Thus the question becomes do you believe this?
Please think about it.
