Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Jesus suffered penalty for sin, including physical and emotional pain because that`s the willing of God for him to pass thruogh it.Jesus was aware of what he is going to pass thruogh so that he can bring salvation to mankind.Without the pysical and emotional pain he went thruogh man can not feel the impart of jesus in their life.We look up the physical suffer he receieve and torture and the crucifixion of jesus, we feel sorry for him.In Isaiah 55, we can also see it is the plan of God for him to pass thruogh physical and emotional pain because God said that when he see the pain his only begotten son was going thruogh he was pleased because that is the only way he will redeemed the world.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Jesus` penalty for sin indeed needs to include physical and emotional pain. Jesus suffered both physically and emotionally. His body was tortured and his whole person was humiliated bodily and emotionaly but as He may accomplish the mission given by His Father God, He may be aptient to fullfil the promise of saving the world. The spiritual separation from God was for a while to let Jesus fullfil the promise. Jesus felt such a separation at the last moment, hours of His death at the cross. If you read Mathew20:56. He dedclared his mission accomplished once He felt He had borne the penalty for the evils of mankind. He cried with a loud voice: My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?, He also said Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. That spiritual separation is the heaviest sacrifice which Jesus pays on behalf of mankind, so that we do not need to suffer the spiritual separation from God. He came on the earth so that we may have the abundant life. John10:10

why did Jesus penalty for sinneed to include physical and emotional pain-why not just spiritual separation from God
I believe that the physical and emotional suffering that Jesus endured is what makes His death so unique. It stands out in the minds of man and also lets us know that He was wounded for our transgression and He was bruised for our iniquity, truly he bore our sorrow, and by His stripes we are made whole.I believe that was the true reason for it all. To stand out in our minds to make man hold on to his faith in the son of man who paid the price with his life. Spiritual separation would not have been as mind blowing as was Jesus emotional and physical suffering. It is seeing and understanding what Jesus physical and emotional suffering entailed that draws me to Him. His spiritual separation came later when He cried out to the Father. Just as it would with us, while we are on the earth we suffer emotionally and physically but our sin would lead us to the final result which is the separation from God

Jesus `penalty for sin` included physical and emotional pain - because he was both God and Man. As a human being he had to suffer for the sins mankind committed. As God he knew what was going to happen every single moment.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
Being forgiven increase ones love for God this is a long standing truism we cant reject it as ''Jesus quoted by John 3:16-17'' For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. There is nothing that can be added to or taken away from God`s love. It is complete. He cannot love you anymore than he does right now and his love for you yesterday was the same as it is today, and it will be the same tomorrow. And there is absolutely nothing that you can do to cause God to love you any less. you need to place your life in God`s hands. You need to ask forgiveness of your sins and then ask God to come into your life. If you truly ask God to come into your life and give you guidance he will. Ask him to show you the path that he wants you to take and ask him to help you get started. Tell him that you want to trust him completely with your life and that you want him to take the lead in living your life. Perhaps the most powerful outcome of forgiveness is that it changes and enables us to become more like Christ Who said as He hung dying on the cross... Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. His love is not based on what we have, what we do, or what we achieve. God`s love is not determined by our behavior or our conduct. It is not dependent on our background or our birth or status in society. God`s love is not influenced by anything that we do. When we are good he loves us and when we are bad he loves us.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
This commandment, love one another had been around for centuries, now I ask my self why would Jesus call it new? The simple reason is that though love was a commandment of the law, till then it was not possible to be kept. Really, love being a product of the new nature, it needs the new nature to be produced, and till that day, the new nature was not available. Thus though people were commanded to love one another they couldn`t actually keep this commandment. The law of Moses commanded the Israelites to love fellow Israelites. Leviticus 19:18 - You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord. That commandment is as old as the nation of Israel. The Jewish people had always understood that they were to love their neighbors as themselves. The newness of the commandment had to do with it being a specific command to the church, rather than a universal command. In other words, Jesus is not speaking of love to be shared with people everywhere, but rather to be shared within the fellowship of Christ. With the new commandment, Jesus makes his disciples a part of his own way of life; he enables them to love as he loves. That evening he prayed, ?May the love with which you loved me be in them and I in them? ''John 17:26''.Anyone who calls himself a Christian, and thinks they are saved and going to Heaven, has one criteria to examine themselves against. Are they LOVING others unselfishly, and sincerely.

How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment?
How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment? Our Lord then speaks of the proof of love, Obedience verifies genuine love. ?Little children, we must not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth? ''I John 3:18''. There is a wonderful progression that occurs whenever we commit ourselves to obediently love our Lord. Our Lord then speaks of the proof of love, Obedience verifies genuine love. ?Little children, we must not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth? ''I John 3:18''. There is a wonderful progression that occurs whenever we commit ourselves to obediently love our Lord. God the Father will love us, God the Son will reveal Himself more fully to us, and both Father and Son will establish an intimate residence within our lives! The opposite, of course, is also true

If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss?
If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss? I would discuss the Last Supper, of which Jesus divides up some bread, and hands the pieces to his disciples, saying this is my body. He then takes a cup of wine, saying this is my blood of the everlasting `covenant`, which is poured for many . Finally he tells the disciples do this in remembrance of me. I am sure it would remind him one of the worst period when he was starting his crusification

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Not only did Jesus have to suffer physically but He had to suffer mentally as the year, month and day approached.Jesus knew when He was going to die. Jesus suffered all his human life for us. Jesus suffered persecution and emotional hurt from people and He suffered physically, and also warned His disciples of suffering, trials and hardships for the sake of The Kingdom of God Jesus suffered the hatred of the world, rejection of His own, the failure of His disciples and the hostility of Satan.He was willing to empty Himself of His immortality, His omnipotence, His omnicience, everything that made Him the Creator God and become a man with no power whatsoever beyond what any man has. He vountered to die the most wreched death anyone could die and to know most of His life how he was going to suffer and die and know exactly when. Only in his very last hours in the garden was He praying for himself and even then He was concerned about His disciples as they slumbered away their opportunity to gain spiritual strength and went to rouse them twice.

Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?
Jesus` penalty for bearing the sins of the world was a spiritual seperation from God, and this was confirmed by his prayer: Why have you forsaken me, my Father. Jesus indeed suffered physical punishment, as well as emotional punishment, in fulfiment of the prophesies that he should suffer, be striped, blood to gush out, die like a criminal, die with criminals, suffer human rejection, etc as a way to the cross, and ultimate victory. Emotionally, the people who tortured and crucified Jesus did not know what they were doing, that`s why he forgave them. Finally, a lost world might not have realised the pain of spiritual seperation, so the physical, and emotional torture, would speak to them more, and open their minds and hearts in the end. In Psalms 103, it says: By his stripes we were healed, redeemed, atoned for by his blood, so I personally believe all these pains he went through were in God`s perfect plan, as prophesied by prophets of old.
