WHAT SINS DID JESUS DIE FOR?
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
This may seem to be a silly question to those of us who think they have a handle on the Christian life based upon what they have learn ed from the church they have attended. I pray that all of us really do know the right answer to this question about what sins did Jesus die for?
What I fear however, is that people are slowly being drifted away from the basic truth of what God has intended for us to understand about the Plan of Salvation. That intention was for us to once again have any access at all to God by Jesus dying as a sacrifice for that initial sin that was created by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Lets take the time to put some solid logic to our relationship with God.
From the very beginning God has created out of love and the need for companionship. God can easily create servants and angels to do His bidding, and yet His drive to create was the desire to have His creation love Him in return with the most pure love that can be given. That is love that is given out of a free will and desire to be with Him. I believe that is why we have been given free will so that we can produce that kind of perfected love for God in response to His love that has been given for us. When it comes to free will God has taken the greatest risk by creating us in a way that He has chosen not to control. That means that God has given away to us the control of our free will to choose. It also means that God has taken the chance just as He did with Lucifer in creating free will within him that we would make a decision to serve self rather than loving God. That meant that God had to create us in such a way that we could do no harm to the Kingdom of Heaven as did Lucifer if we chose to rebel. God limited us to this physical form with limitations in our spiritual ability so that He could find out before hand what the intent of our heart was before making His final judgment upon our lives. God has wanted a relationship with us from the beginning, and yet even more than that He needs a perfected love that He can count on. God needs to know what is in our heart before He will allow us full and complete access to Him; for God there is no longer any room for a blinded trust as He had with Lucifer.
Our efforts to find a relationship with God could never be achieved without the sacrifice that Jesus made of His life on the cross of Calvary, and that is the next thing that we need to get straight in our minds. We need to realize that Jesus is God in human form, and so the idea of trying to separate God into three people is really off . God is able to do anything that He wants to, and still be in all places at the same time. God's ability to come to us in any form that He chooses is a minor point, but the fact that has sent a part of Himself to us to be used as a perfect sacrifice was something that even Satan could not believe that God would do out of love for us. There isn't any wonder why God the Father would give Jesus the glory He did. Everything that Jesus felt on that cross God also felt on that same cross. It was done simply so that you and I would once again be able to walk and talk with God out of the purity of our own hearts intent to love God back for what He did for us. This act of love on God's part was to take away the sin debt that was between us so that we could seek, ask, and knock in our hearts intent to find Him again. Not once did it do away with the sin of this world or our exposure to that sin in our daily lives . What it did do is to establish a completely new covenant between mankind and God that would allow us to follow His Plan for our Salvation through Jesus Christ to be protected from that sin destroying us again. That plan is based Solly upon our relationship with God on a daily and lifetime basis. It is not based upon our word given to love, but by our intent of life to love God first just as He has loved us first. If we try to use doctrines and creeds ( no matter how well written they may be) to develop attitudes and philosophies outside of the simple Gospel that Jesus preached and taught we are in error.
Matthew 5: is the beginning of God's teachings through Jesus Christ on what this New Covenant is all about. We will start to look closer at those teachings next time. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
