The Reason Jesus Came

Jesus didn’t come to die for our sins. He came to give His life, to and for us.

Mar 10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

-He came to give us abundance in that life:

Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

-Save that which was lost. That is the Jew.

Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

-Save the World. That is the Gentile.

Jhn 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

In order to give us life abundant, He died.

So he didn’t come to die. He came to show us how to live, and to bring His life to us. He came to give us His life. To do this, he had to die. Our sins had separated us from the Life of Jah. His death made possible man's reconnection with Himself.

When he died, he gave up the "Spirit". The Spirit contains the kingdom. It is Jah's righteousness, peace, and Joy.
