      • Christians believe that Jesus was far more than a political radical. For them the death of Jesus was part of a divine plan to save humanity. The death and resurrection of this one man is at the very heart of the Christian faith. For Christians it is through Jesus's death that people's broken relationship with God is restored.

    Oct 21, 2011 · Jesus didn’t die for a republic. He died for persons. Jesus died for persons with names, faces, personalities, disabilities, histories, and sins. He did that because he loves each person. Every sin Jesus bore on the cross had a name attached. They were real thoughts, attitudes, words, and actions.

    Oct 18, 2024 · One recent account by Iranian-American author Reza Aslan resurrects a theory from the 19th century, unconvincingly arguing that Jesus was a political revolutionary who plotted the overthrow of Rome by violence.

    To fully understand why Jesus willingly walked that painful path to crucifixion, let’s go back to the beginning. When God created people in His image, He called them “very good” (Genesis 1:31).

But God was in it,” Piper writes. “The Bible says, ‘Jesus [was] delivered up [to death] according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God’ (Acts 2:23).

    • To achieve His own resurrection from the dead. The death of Christ did not merely precede His resurrection–it was the price that obtained it. The Bible says He was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it.
    • To show His own love for us. The death of Christ is not only the demonstration of God’s love (John 3:16), it is also the supreme expression of Christ’s own love for all who receive it as their treasure.
    • In order to cancel the legal demands of the law against us. What a folly to think that our good deeds may one day outweigh our bad deeds. First, it is not true.
    • To provide the basis for our justification and to complete the obedience that becomes our righteousness. To be justified in a courtroom is not the same as being forgiven.

    Mar 6, 2014 · So in hopes of more clarity — fuel for worship — here are five biblical truths about what Jesus accomplished on the cross. 1. The death of Jesus was for his enemies. God’s love is different than natural human love. God loves us when we’re utterly unlovable. When Jesus died, he died for the ungodly, for sinners, and for his enemies.
