Today, we will discuss why Jesus suffered for our sins. From the Word of God, we can learn what sin is, how it entered the world, and why blood is needed to be saved from it. Since the Bible says that without blood there is no forgiveness of sins, blood is needed for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus came to earth and was tortured, and died for the forgiveness of our sins. This was predicted by the prophets many years before Jesus was born. Later, when Jesus was born, he performed miracles, preached the good news to people, and suffered and died.
Jesus came to earth to die so that we could have life through his death. Even when he was suffering death on the cross, he forgave people. He was the manifestation of God in blood and flesh. He made a way for our sins to be forgiven through his death.
Whoever believes in the Lord Jesus and repents is saved by the blood of Jesus. So we can say that Jesus came to earth to save us from sin and made a way for salvation with his life. Jesus is the only one on this earth who gave his life and suffered for the forgiveness of our sins.
