Why The Death Of The Lord Jesus Christ Became Our Salvation? Series

How did the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ save us? First of all, the Bible says that all have sinned and no one is without sin. This is stated in Romans 3:23, for all have sinned and fall short of the righteousness of God. Moreover, Christ is the only person who has not sinned according to 2 Corinthians 5:21, which says that, “Christ never sinned.” He is the Son of God. This is written in Matthew 3:17, “And a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Jesus was made flesh, He became human, and became like us. 1 Timothy 3:16 states that: He was made flesh, declared righteous by the Holy Spirit. He was created, formed, by the power of the Holy Spirit through the Virgin Mary. And in Matthew 1:20, it says: Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit. Then in Luke 1:30-31,34-35, it is written: Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you are highly favored by God; you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Mary asked the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy child you will bear will be called the Son of God.

According to the Bible, no one can be saved, if he has sinned or if he is not righteous, but in Christ Jesus, we will have eternal life in the presence of God the Father. Romans 6:23 tells us: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The reason why the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ became our salvation is because: when Jesus died on the cross, God the Father forgave the sins of the world. This was explained in Ephesians 1:7, telling us that: In Him (referring to Lord Jesus) we have redemption (redemption is salvation from sin) through His blood (literally means through Jesus death), the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. In other words, humanities sins were forgiven when Jesus died on the cross, resulting in our salvation.

Romans 4:25 declares that: Jesus was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. In other words, justification means we are being made righteous in God’s eyes. When we are declared righteous before God, our sins are forgiven, we are not guilty, we are fully accepted before God. After we became righteous, then comes our salvation, for we are being saved from sin and eternal death, and salvation will produce eternal life, so we can live forever with God in heaven.

So when Jesus died on the cross, our sins are forgiven. And when Jesus rose from the dead after three days, salvation entered into the world. Although salvation is for everyone, it is clearly stated in the Bible that this salvation is only for those who trust in Jesus, for those who believe on Jesus death and resurrection. It was explained in Colossians 1:14, that says: And through His Son, He redeemed us, which means that He rescue us, He saved us, and our sins have been forgiven. God’s wrath against us was removed when Christ died and rose again, so our sins are forgiven, which resulted in our salvation, but only if we believe in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:25 says that: Christ came to the world to sacrifice his life, so that God's wrath would be removed from us, and through his blood, (His death), our sins are forgiven if we believe in Him. Therefore, if we want God the Father's fierce anger removed from us, what we must do is to trust Jesus and believe in the death and resurrection of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. We become righteous if we believe in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22 tells us that: God considers a person righteous through faith in Christ. But what kind of faith should we have?

What you need is faith in trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior, and believe in His the death that will result in the forgiveness of your sins, and His resurrection that will result in your salvation. Afterwards, you can be considered righteous in the eyes of God. Romans 4:24 tells us that: God considers us righteous if we believe in Him who raised our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, when you accept Jesus Christ into your life, and you will declare that He is your Lord, and you will believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. This is clearly written in Romans 10:9 telling us: "That if you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
