Why did Jesus die on the cross? The Bible is clear about this. I Peter 2:24 says that Jesus bore our sins in His body while He was on the cross in order that we might die to sin and live righteously. He took our sins upon Himself as the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. Those who put their faith and trust in Him will be forgiven.
The Bible tells us in I John 2 that Jesus is the propitiation for our sins. He came to fulfill the justice of God. Jesus bore our sins and He took the punishment that we deserved for our sins on the cross. On the cross the love and the justice of God were satisfied in the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus.
Jesus invites everyone to come to Him. He died for us because He loves us. Whosoever will can come to Jesus and receive His forgiveness and the abundant and eternal life that He offers to those who place their faith and trust in Him.
Jesus died for you. You can know Him today.
