KNow me well www.jesuscentral.com/14390   May 21, 2007 Why did Jesus? penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God? Jesus penalty for sin need to include physical and emotional pain because through his sufferings we as believers might know that carrying his cross is not easy thing. If we deceided to follow Jesus, then we must be ready to bear all sufferings and pain and persecutions and even death when it comes. And also Jesus has shown us an example of how to endure sufferings that we might meet and to be ready to bear it. Jesus was innocent and without sin, yet he was crucified as a criminal for our sins. He took all our faults on him and paid the price that we were to pay. Jesus cannot be spiritually separated from God. Jesus is God, God the father, the son and the holy spirit. The trinity are one, so God send his beloved son into the world to die for us and washed all our sins and without Jesus we will not meet God. Because Jesus is the way to the father.

Favorite Violation May 13, 2007 Which of these purposes do you believe Jesus accomplished? The purposes that Jesus accomplished is so great in our life. The bible says in the book of Romans, For God demonsrate his love for us while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God loves us so much that he send his son into the world to died for us and give us life. Jesus paid the price for us. By laying his life for us. Jesus put everything clear for us that, the thief comes only to steal and destroy but i have come to give them to the full. Jesus said that, the light has already come to the world but many hate the light because their lives are evil. They love the darkness instead of the light. Jesus came to preach the gosple to the poor and he said am the way, the truth and the life. no one goes to the father except through me. We as believers, it`s our duty ot reach out to the lost and tell them of the great love that God has for us. And to tell those in world to turn from their sinful nature and accept christ to received their salvation. As it is written in the book of Acts, Jesus commanded us''his disciples'' to go and preach the gosple to the end of the earth. Jesus broght the good news of salvation to the world and by sacrificing his lifefor us and filled our hearts with his love. That we too will love others.

This is the greatest commandment that we must love one another. Jesus said, love your neighbour as yourself and love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Love is very important for us as believers. Without love we cannot pretend to be followers of Jesus. To love your neighbour is to put everyone first instead of ME first. As the bible say`s Love your enemy and feed him if he si hungry and give him water if he is thirsty. The bible forbids hatred for true believers. Sometimes we wonder how to love other people who are unlovable. Through my experienced, in my country sudan There is a hatred between the south and north people. it is very difficult for both sides to love each other and forgive each other. And this has a direct effect to the faith because if you love God and you are a true believer then you must love your enemy. The bible said God created us in his image. then if i hate someone then i hate God. It is very difficult to love an enemy and even forgive that enemy. Then here forgiveness comes first and then love follows. If we love one another then we reflect Jesus and we are true followers of christ. To love and serve each other. To be the servant of all, then we must have a servant hearted. By: nako bako - May 03, 2007 - Public Category: Love One Another - Jesus Comment Helpful?
