WHY
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: (23)For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:22b-23.
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." 1 John 1:8THE 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, [Friend, have you not told a lie?] shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8THE PAYMENT OF SIN . . . To cover the sin of Adam and Eve, THE BLOOD of an innocent lamb was shed. "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them." (Genesis 3:21)
"...John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29Friend, 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 sacraments, 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. (9)Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." Romans 5:8-9
Friend, Jesus died to pay for your sin. And if you die
without the blood of Jesus Christ covering your sins--you
will spend eternity in a lake of fire!AND FRIEND, IT WILL HAPPEN! "And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15It's simple to be saved. Pray this prayer and mean it
with all your heart: Lord, I know I'm a sinner. I know
Jesus shed His blood for me at Calvary. I now accept You
as my Lord and Saviour. I thank you for dying for me.
In Jesus' name. Amen.If you prayed this prayer, and really meant it, accord-
ing to the Word of God--YOU ARE SAVED!
"and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
John 6:37bIf you asked the Lord to save you, please let us know.
We'll send you some material to help in your new life in
Jesus Christ.
