Why Jesus came
In the apostle John’s gospel we read,
"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.
Notice verse 17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
This is the reason Jesus came into the world. God knew that man could not live a life good enough for us to live in heaven. We all sin and fall far short of Gods ideals for our life. The apostle John writing,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." 1John 1:9-10
That is why in love God reached down to us in the form of His One and Only Son. To die for our sin.
The apostle Paul writing to the Romans wrote,
"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8.
The apostle Paul also wrote,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” Romans 10:13.
Have you called on the name of the Lord? Have you let Jesus into your life?
Please think about it.
