When Jesus died he received the right to "save" or "rescue" individuals. He did not deserve to die. Therefore he was sinless. It was his choice to sacrifice himself for the sins of man. It is personal choice and he has left that decision to individuals whether or not he died for the sins of man.
In order to rescue man from the penalty of their committed sins, a sinless individual had to die. Jesus, who did not deserve to physically die, had to choose to die for mankind. Jesus did just that.
“So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await him. Hebrews 9:28”
The argument that “Christ died for our sins” has been debated at length for

At the same time he rejected the notion that the devil has anything to do with the process of salvation; it is gods absolute act. According to testimony’s outlined in the bible, sin separates us from god and hands us over to death. Through Christ’s death, he suffered in a substituting and expiatory way to end mans separation from god and the subjection to death. Anselm’s emphasis was not on Christ embodying man and atoning his sins but on Christ satisfying Gods justice. (Scwartz p257)
Anselm argues that because of the fall of Adam and Eve, all human beings, from the moment they have developed a rational soul and thus a will, lack the justice they ought to have. Sin is, by definition, the lack of justice that one ought to have, so this deficiency in all human beings is considered as sin. Otherwise considered as original sin for dual reasons.
Most important “it is received in one’s origin”: that is, such injustice characterizes the will from the time each person in particular begins to exist.
The second notion, “individual human beings derive it from those from who their nature has its origin” from such, damnation follows. (Visser, Williams
Looking upon the crucifix where Jesus hangs, we have much to consider both historically and theologically. However, when this perspective is reversed and we look out from Jesus’ point of view, we see another side to the story.
means that Jesus died for a reason and that was to free us from sin.
Jesus died for our sin. He didn’t have to die for us. He could have fallen into Satan's temptations when He told Jesus He didn’t have to die. Jesus ignored Him he fought the temptations because He knew that He was born into this world to save all of us and die for us, which means that He is willing to sacrifice his own life for all of us. Jesus didn't have to die for us but he did. Satan had given him the opportunity not to die but Jesus didn't accept the offer because he knew it was the right thing to do and he didn’t have to prove himself to someone who had no faith in him. Who was willing to break him down for their own
Romans 5 it says that Jesus died for All Sinners! We are all sinners so
defends the argument that humans are not solely defined by their nature or nurture, but by both. The
In the Bible, God, sacrifices his only son, a respectable, revered "heavenly" figure, allowing Jesus to live amongst sinful people. In human form, Jesus treats the common people's illnesses and performs miracles to help them; above all, he cares for them and loves them. Jesus is selfless, endlessly devoting himself to helping and serving others, and ensuring that they will have a better life by showing them "the way" to God. Jesus sacrifices his life in heaven to come to Earth and help his people.
Just as Finny’s death brought healing for Gene, so does the Bible’s story of Christ’s death for sinners bring healing to those who accept it. The Bible tells of Christ’s love and sacrifice in the following passage: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds were are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)”
In other words, Jesus, although perfect and blameless in all His ways, took on the title criminal and died as such. He was crucified on a cross at Calvary. No other God has died for his people. Jesus drank the cup of wrath that was reserved for mankind (Matthew 26:39). Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The death and resurrection of Jesus purchased victory over death for humanity, if they choose to accept Him as their Lord and Savior (1 Cor. 15:55). Those who cling to the Gospel, either in sharing it or receiving of it, must believe that Jesus’ death is the only route to attain salvation. He is the only way, truth, and life (John 14:6,
First articulated by Augustine (A.D. 354–430), the doctrine of original sin holds that all of Adam’s descendants inherit the guilt of Adam’s sin and thus incur the punishment for Adam’s sin. Inheriting Adam’s guilt at birth, then, presumes one guilty before God at birth and destined for hell. This is the basis for the Catholic need for infant baptism, for the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception (that Mary herself was uniquely conceived free of Adam’s guilt), and for the belief that salvation is only available through connection with the Church via baptism. Moreover, the belief that God holds Adam’s descendants personally accountable for Adam’s sin calls into question the importance of our own free will as it relates to our moral accountability to God. That is, if God holds us accountable for the sin Adam committed, then the exercise of our own free will must, in God’s sight, be of little or no consequence. This leads to the Augustinian belief in predestination — that who is saved and who is lost is determined entirely by God’s sovereign election, and...
Jesus did not even yield to temptation in his actions. Jesus died for us, his death was a substitute for our deaths, and his death was sufficient in doing so.
Jesus was obedient. Even though He was “tempted in every way” He was nevertheless “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). 2 Corinthians 5:21 states outright that “He had no sin.” Jesus knew the laws of the Torah and put into practice the worship-words of Deuteronomy 28:14. “Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.”
Through his death Christ gained forgiveness of sins for all who follow him (see "baptism"). Titus 3:13,14 says "our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity".
When other popular teachers died, their movement died with them. However, after the death of Jesus, his movement continued to build strength and grew rapidly. James, Peter, John and Paul, Jude and the writer of Hebrews were convinced of Jesus’ resurrection, they believed this with such conviction that they did not even try to defend or prove this. They stated it as fact. “In each narrative, names are given of those to whom the resin Christ presented himself (Barnett 130)”. This can be verified and proven true, based on eyewitnesses. After the death of Christ, the lives of the writers of the New Testament were radically changed. They traveled where they had not gone to reach out to people outside their comfort zone. They died in their challenge
The original state of mankind has to be taken into consideration in order to get a better understanding of the Fall of Man. In a Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine, Simmons (1969) further explains the original state of man. He states that the image of God in man consisted of a holiness likeness which suggested that man once inherited a righteous inclination, followed by a personality
“By one man 's disobedience, many were made sinners” (Rom. V. 5:19). First articulated by Augustine (A.D. 354–430), the doctrine of original sin holds that all of Adam’s descendants inherit the guilt of Adam’s sin and thus incur the punishment for Adam’s sin. To understand sin entirely you must first know the background of the first ever sin. Original sin can differ in the different branches of Christianity like Catholicism and Protestantism. Questions are raised more and more about original sin through the writings of theologians. Questioning sin is something that is raised throughout culture and time. A thought could be brought up years earlier and then could be proven right or right in our culture and time. This paper is to not only teach
