Why the Cross?
Above all else Jesus came into the world to die. What makes His death so important? The answer is that He died as a SUBSTITUTE, a SIN-BEARER and a SAVIOR.
1. JESUS THE SUBSTITUTE.
Sinners are guilty, lost and helpless in the face of God's holy law, which demands punishment for every sin.
This demonstrates the LOVE OF GOD.
God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
The sinless Son of God willingly suffered and died for them, The righteous for the unrighteous
As part of an amazing rescue plan God the Son volunteered to take the place of sinners and bear the just penalty their sin.
2. JESUS THE SIN-BEARER
The penalty for the sins of others was paid in full by death of God's sinless Son.
This demonstrates the holiness of God.
The God's Son death notice how this show's God's perfect holiness.
All sin, every sin, must be punished,and when Jesus took the place of sinners He become accountable for their sins as if He had responsible for them.
The only man who lived a perfect life suffered the double death penalty of the guilty.
3. JESUS THE SAVIOUR
He gave many convincing proofs that He was alive and He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him.
This demonstrate the power of GOD.
Three days after His death, Christ was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from death.
In raising Christ from the dead, God powerfully demonstrated that He accepted His death in the place of sinners as the full and perfect payment of sin's penalty and as the basis on which He can offer a full and free pardon to those who would otherwise be doomed to spend eternity in hell.
I hate you for putting religion with coins. Remember Jesus throwing money changers out of the temple?!?
That's my point @doctorsnow, I posted like these just to share, to enlighten others because people now a days most especially in this (Steemit) most of them focus more on blogging about coins and are busy on blogging thinking about whats next? Thinking about how many they have earn, thinking how they earn more but they don't even think to read the scriptures, may be because of their busyness in this blogging sites they don't even remember to thankful for what they have. I don't post like this just to earn but my purpose is to enlighten SOME of them, That money is not "EVERYTHING".
