Why was lord Jesus sent by God to earth?

[rodger]

What was the main reason God sent His Christ to earth?

[jonnycool]

Acts 2:23 This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

Matt 1:21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins."

john.

Thats correct, through confession and repentance. The road is very narrow, but the road to destruction is very wide for those who annul the word of God.

Ok I respect God giving up his son for us an all....But it doesn't make sense to me? I thought that God forgave everyone's sins? ...Why did he have to send his son to be killed for our sins to be forgiven? And isn't Jesus, God in another form so he really isn't technically different from God himself ? But then God cant be killed because God is not mortal?

I guess my main question that I would like to be answered is who was God trying to impress? Why couldn't he just forgive the sins himself instead of going through all that murder and bloodshed with his son?

[rodger]

You are correct, Jesus is our God. The original sin caused by Adam effected all of us.
The decree set upon Adam by God effected us all. We were and still are born in sin meaning:separation from God's Holy Spirit at birth.(Born of flesh) The only way to reverse that decree set upon us by God, is for God to receive that punishment upon himself.This is the reason why Christ our God came down from heaven and was born in the flesh. (Isaiah 53,3:6) Through His affliction came the return of the Holy Spirit through Him. As we travel through the water we are reconcilied by God and receive the reconciliation of Christ and are born of spirit. Repentance leads to salvation in Him.

He wanted, and succeeded, to impress those He saved tank.
He could, if He had wanted to, forgive without blood but He thought it best if He did it by way of blood. If another way was better then that would have been better but blood was the best way, otherwise it would have been different. Things is as they are.

God became Man and subjected Himself to death.

As we travel through the water we are reconcilied by God and receive the reconciliation of Christ and are born of spirit. Repentance leads to salvation in Him.

That is really meaningless rodger. You were doing alright up to this point. I don't get what your saying.

You can find all these answers in the bible. One cannot receive a gift that he refuses to open. It can do him no good whatsoever.

[Watchman Awake]

We must first realize that it is the Mercy of God that leads us to salvation.
God does not have to jump through hula hoops to prove that He is God. Yet, without His divine intervention all of mankind would be sentenced to the everlasting death separated from Him because of sin. We(our own sin) send ourselves to eternal damnation because apart from Christ there is no remission of sins. And no, God did not die on the cross. Christ suffered in his flesh the judgement of sin. Christ jesus the man died on the cross. Christ Jesus the Lord was separated from His Father on the cross.

#2 by Johnny Cool is basically the same thought i had, and now post.
------------------------------------------------------------------
To redeem mankind
bonus - for the angels longed to look into these things.
I believe, basically....1John 4:8 is being REVEALED (God Is Love)
Eric

1John 4:10
see #8, end of post above --->
Eric's add....the sting of death, OR striking of His heel is one thing,
BUT Christ Jesus seems to ask that this cup pass from Me, because of the
SEPARATION with the Father (the amount of time this occured does not matter, IF Only we matured to this thinking and follow Holy Spirit ALL the time, or More often).
AS for Tank 32 question...what is up with blood / death for remission of sins.
AS Johnny Cool states, i re-elaborate here...
Let US remain amazed , thankful & rely on His decision TO PROVIDE A WAY of redeeming mankind....Genesis He states, when you eat of it, ye shall Surely DIE >>>
praise the Lord that God continues to write into the Next Chapter...
For He provide covering for Adam and Eve (blood sacrifice seems to appease Gods Wrath).
