THREE IMPORTANT REASONS WHY JESUS CAME TO THIS WORLD
1. SALVATION
The Lord Jesus came into this world for our salvation. God loves us so much that He gave his only Son to save us. God loved us even before we loved him. Even when we we still sinners , Christ died for us . We deserved the wrath of God for all the sins we had committed against God, but because of the great love of God we were saved through the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross. We must understand breadth and lenght and height and depth of the love of Christ.
The Lord Jesus , the Son of God , took the form of a human being in order to provide salvation for mankind. According to the law , without shedding of blood , there is no forgiveness of sin. Since all have sinned , no one was worthy to offer their blood as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore the Lord Jesus because of His great love for mankind , took the form of a human being and lived a sinless life and offered his blood as a sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. The blood of animals had failed to change the hearts of sinful men . Therefore God entered into a new covenant with man through the sacrificial death of His Son . The blood of Jesus washes away our sins and transforms our heart. Therefore since Jesus became a man in order to offer his body and his blood as a sacrifice for the salvation of mankind , we must offer our body and our lives as a living sacrifice to fulfill the will of God in our lives.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

2 . DELIVERANCE.
The Lord Jesus came into this world to deliver us from the works of the devil. Jesus was constantly destroying the works of the devil and delivering people from the bondage of satan. A life of victory is possible only when we are willing to destroy the works of Satan. We must not be living in fear of the devil. As long as we tolerate his works in our life we cannot live in victory. But we must be submitted to God before we can excercise authority over the devil .Otherwise we may face disastrous consequences.

3. ABUNDANCE
The Lord Jesus came into this world to bless us with a life of abundance. We must understand the heart of God who loves us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His Son for us. And along with Him , He will freely give us everything else that we need. The Lord wants to bless us and give good gifts to us as our Heavenly Father. The Lord wants us to be strong in faith and have the complete assurance in our hearts that we will receive the promises of God. We must be sure of receiving His blessings even before we see them with our eyes.We must always pray with faith that God will answer our prayers. We must ask in the name of Jesus depending on his sacrifice for us and ask according to the will of God.
The Lord wants us to give generously so that we can receive a harvest of blessings in our life. The Lord wants us to realise that giving to Him is not losing but sowing and when we sow bountifully , we will reap bountifully. We must give cheerfully and not reluctantly and under compulsion. The Lord gives us the seed to sow. Everything we possess is what we have received from God. Therefore we give out of what we have received from the Lord. When we are faithful to give our tithes and offerings , the Lord has promised to open the windows of heaven and pour out His blessings upon us. When we give to God , we cause praise and thanksgiving to rise unto God , as those who have been blessed by our giving start praising God . We also raise prayer covering over our lives as those who are blessed by our giving , intercede on our behalf.
