50 Reasons Jesus died for me and you



Christ Suffered and Died…

To Absorb the Wrath of God

To Please His Heavenly Father

To Learn Obedience and Be Perfected

To Achieve His Own Resurrection From the Dead

To Show the Wealth of God’s Love and Grace for Sinners

To Show His Own Love for Us

To Cancel the Legal Demands of the Law Against Us

To Become a Ransom for Many

For the Forgiveness of Our Sins

To Provide the Basis for Our Justification

To Complete the Obedience That Becomes Our Righteousness

To Take Away Our Condemnation

To Abolish Circumcision and All Rituals as the Basis of Salvation

To Bring Us to Faith and Keep Us Faithful

To Make Us Holy, Blameless and Perfect

To Give Us a Clear Conscience

To Obtain for Us All Things That Are Good for Us

To Heal Us from Moral and Physical Sickness

To Give Eternal Life to All Who Believe on Him

To Deliver Us From the Present Evil Age

To Reconcile Us to God

To Bring Us to God

So That We Might Belong to Him

To Give Us Confident Access to the Holiest Place

To Become for Us the Place Where We Meet God

To Bring the Old Testament Priesthood to an End

To Become a Sympathetic and Helpful Priest

To Free Us From the Futility of Our Ancestry

To Free Us From the Slavery of Sin

That We Might Die to Sin and Live to Righteousness

So That We Would Die to the Law and Bear Fruit for God

To Enable Us to Live for Christ and Not Ourselves

To Make His Cross the Ground of All Our Boasting

To Enable Us to Live by Faith in Him

To Give Marriage Its Deepest Meaning

To Create a People Passionate for Good Works

To Call Us to Follow His Example of Lowliness

To Create a Band of Crucified Followers

To Free Us from Bondage to the Fear of Death

So That We Would Be With Him Immediately After Death

To Secure Our Resurrection From the Dead

To Disarm the Rulers and Authorities

To Unleash the Power of God in the Gospel

To Destroy the Hostility Between Races

To Ransom People From Every Tribe and Language

To Gather All His Sheep From Around the World

To Rescue Us From Final Judgment

To Gain His Joy and Ours

So That He Would Be Crowned With Glory and Honor

To Show That the Worst Evil Is Meant by God for Good
