He
does not want us to burn in hell.
Ever
since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, God has shown that the
way
back to him … that is … atonement … was through blood.
“Unto Adam
also and to his wife did the LORD God
make coats of skins, and clothed them.” (Genesis 3:21)
God told
Adam to kill an animal so that the blood
would be an atonement to God for their sin of disobedience. When God
sees sin,
he demands blood.
All
through the Old Testament, men and Israel
sacrificed animals for their blood … as a substitute for their own
blood
that God demanded for their sins. If not, then God would have had to
kill
everyone … no-one would be left alive.
As
Israel continually rejected God, God the Father send God the Son down
to earth
… manifest in the flesh as follows
“And
without controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh (this is
the Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh … God in the flesh as a man),
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed
on in the world, received up into glory.” (1 Timothy 3:16).
God
appeared in the flesh as Jesus Christ and lived the perfect and sinless
life on
behalf of Israel while they continued their sacrifice of animals for
past sins
(Romans 3:25) …if only they would have believed this.
When
Israel rejected Jesus Christ, God then so loved the world … yes Dear
Reader …
everybody … he opened his love up to all men, such that
“For
God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not his Son (Jesus
Christ) into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (John
3:16-17)
So
God became a man, lived a perfect life and died in our place as
Jesus
Christ on the cross. Yes Dear Reader,
Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all sins for all time – past,
present and
FUTURE … his perfect blood (Acts 20:28) … that God demanded
for breaking
his laws.
