The passion of Christ

Passion of Christ Part XIII

Christ died for us while we are still sinners.

  Jesus died for us sinners, giving us the inheritance of God's Kingdom. God makes no distinction in selecting and choosing the most favorable in His view.  ‘When we were still helpless, at the appointed time, Christ died for the godless. You could hardly find anyone ready to die even for someone upright; though it is just possible that, for a really good person, someone might undertake to die. So it is proof of god’s own love for us that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. (Rom. 5: 6-8) He has demonstrated His never-ending unconditional love for us by offering Jesus' body as a live sacrifice to God. The Lord has showed us salvation through the measure of trust in Jesus Christ. We can't find someone who died for sinners or adversaries, but Jesus died for us despite our sins Romans 3:25–26 (NJB): God appointed him as a sacrifice for reconciliation, through faith, by the shedding of his blood, and so showed his justness; first for the past, when sins went unpunished because he held his hand; 26 and now again for the present age, to show how he is just and justifies everyone who has faith in Jesus. Jesus is seeking our unshakeable faith in him. He died so that we could reconcile with God. 

   Jesus died so that we could all be saved for eternity. Jesus transformed the disgrace of the Cross into a symbol of its exaltation by sacrificing his life on it. This way, Christ glorified the Father's love in our midst. 14 For the love of Christ overwhelms us when we consider that if one man died for all, then all have died; 15 his purpose in dying for all humanity was that those who live should live not any more for themselves, but for him who died and was raised to life. 2Cor 5:14-15.

  In the Bible, Jesus, the Son of God, is repeatedly mentioned by the Heavenly Father. LK. 3: 21-22, 21 Now it happened that when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical form, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, 'You are my Son; today have I fathered you.' Whether we were baptized as infants or as adults in the Church, we received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
