Brothers and sisters whom the Lord Jesus loves, WHY DID THE LORD JESUS BECOME A MAN AND DIE ON THE CROSS TO FORGIVE OUR SINS? For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. —Romans 3:23-24. Why? For the wages of sin is death, —Romans 6:23a. And God has said: For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life. —Leviticus 17:11. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, —Hebrews 9:22a. and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. —Hebrews 9:22b. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. —Hebrews 10:4. The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming —not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. ¬¬—Hebrews 10:1. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. —Hebrews 10:3. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. — Hebrews 10:4. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood —to be received by faith.. —Romans 3:25a. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. —Ephesians 1:7. Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. —Hebrews 10:5-6. First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them” —though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will. ¬—Hebrews 10:8-9a. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¬—Hebrews 10:10. The LORD Jesus said: ... the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many —Matthew 20:28. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. —Matthew 26:28. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to ... . —1 Corinthians15:3b-6. ... and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. ... (And) ... he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. —Acts 1:3-9. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. —Acts 10:43. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace, —Ephesians 1:7. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness. —1 Peter 2:24a. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. —1 Timothy 2:5-6a. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. — John 14:6. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, . . . —to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. —Revelation 1:5b-6. To the Almighty God be the glory! For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.. —John 3:16. Based on the word of God himself, we know that we can get the forgiveness of our sins from God fully not because of we hold Christian religion nor because of our lives as Christians nor because of our activities in Christian ministry; but because of our faith to the LORD Jesus Christ only, — that is we really receive (trust) Jesus is our Lord and Savior . The LORD Jesus said: Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in... —Revelation 3:20. [Now, If you really regret your sins before the LORD, God Almighty, and realize that you need him and his forgiveness —Yes, surely you need him and his but you have never prayed to receive (trust) Jesus Christ is your LORD and Savior privately, please learn seriously the prayer to receive Jesus below]. The points of the prayer to receive (believe in) Jesus Christ, “The LORD Jesus, I am a sinner and have lived according my own will. I regret, O LORD, my God, forgive my sins. I repent and promise to leave all my sins, and I will live in accord with your will to please your heart and glorify your name - according to your purpose in creating me - , I believe in Yyou, Jesus Christ, You are the Son of God who became a holy man to die on the cross --shedding your holy blood as a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of all men in the whole world —including my all sins to fulfill your own law that without the shedding of blood of holy man there is no forgiveness. I trust ini you, Jesus Christ, You died --shedding your holy blood for my sins, you were buried, you were raised on the third day, and you appeared to your disciples, and then you were taken up into heaven; and You’re going to come again to judge all the living and the dead. Now, the LORD Jesus, I open (the door of) my heart, I ask you Jesus —with all my heart and my soul and my mind please come into my heart now, I really receive you, Jesus Christ, You are my Lord and Savior. I hand myself and my life over to you, lead me that becoming as your will for your glory. Amen. [If the content of the prayer is the same with your own will, now, you may pray to receive (believe in) Jesus that he is your LORD and Savior in accord with the prayer above. You may pray by reading it, the LORD Jesus observes the sincerity of your heart. (If you want to pray, please you pray now, then continuing to read the next part.)]. To God be the glory! And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, —Ephesians 1:13. (And) Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—; —John 1:12. Amen. May the LORD Jesus bless us for His glory. (By Kristina E.W)
