Subject: Main principle behind sacrifices? |
Bible Note: Hi johnramz, I'm not sure that there is any sacrifice of animals in the Bible for anything but the remission of sin. Sacrifice always points to the cross. I could be wrong on that one, though I don't think so. Perhaps someone else can answer that better. Why death for sin? Or, Why did Jesus have to die? Here's something from: http://www.gotquestions.org that should begin explain it pretty well. --"When we ask a question such as this, we must be careful that we are not calling God into question. To wonder why God couldn’t find “another way” to do something is to imply that the way He has chosen is not the best course of action and that some other method would be better. Usually what we perceive as a “better” method is one that seems right to us. Before we can come to grips with anything God does, we have to first acknowledge that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts—they are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8). In addition, Deuteronomy 32:4 reminds us that “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.” Therefore, the plan of salvation He has designed is perfect, just, and upright, and no one could have come up with anything better. The Scripture says, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Evidence affirms that the sinless Jesus bled and died on a cross. Most importantly, the Bible explains why Jesus’ death and resurrection provide the only entrance to heaven."-- There is much more at this address: http://www.gotquestions.org/why-Jesus-die.html I highly recommend it for further reading. I pray this helps you. John |
