Jesus was put on earth to dwell amongst man and spread the teachings of God. He was also sent to die for our sins and when he was resurrected, he did so to erase all the sins of
The action itself carries a promise that He will fulfill His purpose for man. “We must accept the fact God has not finished with us yet,” said the author in his
This restoration makes a person how they would have been before they sinned. Also, one of the major points discussed was what we touched in on class the other day. Since Jesus was full pure and had no sin in him, he did not have to die. He did it for the sake of his people, and not for himself. His sacrifice was the only way humans could have
What freedom and deliverance do the death and resurrection of Jesus bring? When Jesus sacrificed himself, he also removed sin from us. He made us pure by removing sin and forgiving the sin of those that committed sin against another person or towards themselves. 6.
The Lord wants us to be in union with him, so the Incarnation had to be fully expressed to us in combination with the Passion of Christ. Jesus suffered on the cross, so that all humans would not have to suffer, as explained through the profound connection the Incarnational Union soteriology leaves for his Death/Resurrection to continue and the following states, "In Christ God sympathizes and desires passionately that we take all the crucified peoples down from the cross," (6) because for the Incarnation to be complete, God must also know sin, pain, and death, i.e. his Death and Resurrection. He died for us so that we could live
The 3-Day Resurrection Once again, we go back to our concept of using past historical events to unpack concealed future prophetic events. The Prophet Hosea spoke about the resurrection on the third day some 730 years before the birth of Christ. “Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.
His goal was to be king of the Jews, but mostly to be a king of the world. When Jesus establishes himself as the Son of God, as he was depicted in Daniel, he makes a clear statements about how he views his own identity and his duty. Aslan’s Jesus presents himself as the king who will rule on earth on God’s behalf. His goal is to reestablish and restore the nation of Israel to its former glory.
One must ask themselves in regards to the resurrection, why this particular act? Out of all the multitudes of acts that God could have done to get His point across, why the act of resurrecting His Son? I believe it is because the resurrection entails the principles of rebirth, creation, and “second chances” in one fell swoop. Rebirth in the way that St. Paul states in Romans 6:4, “We are indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life” (CSB). Because of the resurrection, we are given the opportunity to be reborn in to the creatures God intended us to be.
The first chapter “The mystery of the Church” provides an outline of the church in order to understand the mission and its nature. The primary mission of the church is to proclaim the gospel of Christ. Jesus died on the cross for the world and its salvation. His love for people was seen when he died on the cross. The Holy Spirit allows having a connection with God and Christ.
Jesus was fully aware of his mission and his purpose for being here. He was sent to die as a living sacrifice for the remission of the sins of man. He knew that sin entered the world by one man, Adam and that death through him would redeem man. Contrary to Satan’s belief, Jesus’ death was not a well thought out plot by him, it was the strategic master plan of God. Think about it.
Throughout the OT God required the death of a lamb as atonement for sins committed. The death of this lamb was very significant to God's people the Jews because it sent a strong redemptive message. Later we see in the New Testament that the death of Christ bore similar significance for us today. You might ask the question why was Christ death significant? I would like to point out two reasons: 1.
There are many details that are important from the creation myth among those are the idea of reincarnation and the will that drives us to be better than those before us. We see the idea and importance of reincarnation when the myth states “when a human dies, I will send them to be a dolphin until it is time for them to be born again. But when I find a creature who has striven, who has become more than the mud from which they were made, who has glorified this mean world by being apart of it, then I will open the door for them into your perfect world and they will no longer be creatures of time, for they will wear stars” (Pratchett 1-2). This quote shows how import the idea of reincarnation is to the rest of the story because the people of
So that if we choose to accept his gift of life, we may live in eternity with God in Heaven. Romans 10:9 (That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from death, you will be saved) All you have to do to accept God's gift is confess, that Jesus is Lord over all, and truly believe within your heart, that God raised Jesus from the grave on the 3rd day, after he was crucified on the cross for our
To have knowledge on what Jesus went through for us shows the amount of love He has bestowed upon us. I am so thankful that He would give His perfect life for us sinners whose righteousness is as filthy rags. The talk about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was prophesied all the way back to Old Testament days. God let people know that there would be a Savior that would come, and He would save us from our sins.
He took all the responsibility for our sins and atoned for us and died. It was the only way given from our Heavenly Father to us so we can go back and live with him again. So this cleansing work is called repentance. When we realize our sins we confess it to one of our church leaders and to Heavenly Father. But it is not the end.
