Why Did Jesus Have to Die?: A Look at What the Christian Believes

By Kerri Ryan

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 3:3)The 'death' spoken of in Genesis 3:3 was clearly not death as we know the word today. Adam and Eve went on to live for another 930 years, and started the human race. Evidently the death spoken of here was referring to Spiritual death, what most Christians like to refer to today as 'separation from God.' What Jesus did on the Cross surpasses what religion can do. It was devised from the beginning of time before the foundation of the earth, and played out in God's own time and fashion. Jesus had to die, in order to ratify this Blood Covenant between God and Man- it was not an accident, Jesus did not lose, the Word teaches us that 'None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.' 1Cor. 2:8 While most Christians grew up being told that 'Jesus Died For You-', and we see the Crucifix with the crucified Christ still hanging on it, however, very few of us really understand what that means, and how it is still relevant in today's world. This book looks at why Jesus had to die, what His birth, death and Resurrection has to do with those of us living in today's world, and what you can do to benefit from your Faith in Christ.
