Jesus will throughout all eternity bear the scars of Calvary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning that we have a propensity to sin. There is no one on this earth that has not sinned. All have sinned. We are cut off from God. A sinful human is eternally separated from God. Mankind can not atone for himself/herself because sin and death stands in the way. Our sins are very grievous. Jesus saw that we were weak, sinful and lost and desperately in need of someone to atone for us. But the only way for that to happen was for God to do that himself for us. Jesus himself is sinless making him the perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty of death. Jesus when he was on earth was fully God and fully man who represented humanity. God promised that he would provide a way back to him. Freeing us from the sinful nature that carried the death penalty. He did this so that we could spend our eternity with him. No he didn't have to, but because he loves us; he was willing to die in our place. Agreed sojo, Jesus, death on the cross was victory over sin and death. Not only did he die on the cross, but he rose again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
