Bible Question: All my life i have been told that God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins, but God didnt send his son to die for our sins he sent his son to preach the word. Why do people say this when in all actuality God wouldnt have to send anybody to die for our sins because God is God? |
Bible Answer: Lamp, Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! You have been given the correct information. Be sure to thank God for those who shared this good news with you all your life as you put it! God's word tells us this very thing you have been told. See below! 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NASB) 15:3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 15:4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures Jesus did die for our sins! Praise God! His way is perfect and complete! There is no other way!!! Check this out! Romans 3:23 (NASB) says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and Romans 6:23 (NASB) says "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. " and Romans 5:8 (NASB) says "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." and Romans 10:9 (NASB) says "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" Have you ever confessed Jesus as your Lord? Do you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? Jesus did die for our sins! There is no other way! There is salvation in no one else! (Acts 4:12) Steve |
