Subject: What if Jesus hadn't been crucified? |
Bible Note: "Question: What would have happened if Jesus had not come to save us? I mean, why did He have to be crucified? Why couldn't God just say, "Okay, world, I love you and so I forgive you."?" Another Answer: Because He is a just God, as well as a God of Grace. Besides, if He simply stated to the world "I love you and so I forgive you," those who desired no forgiveness would mock His forgiveness, and the circle of sin, would begin again. Christ will not be crucified a second time. Nor is God answerable to man. Neither are His laws debatable. Like God Himself, they are unchangable, WRITTEN in stone... His Word Will endure forever. |
