Incarnation: He Came To Die For Us

Introduction

1 Peter 2:21–24 ESV

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Jesus Was Born to Die

He bore our sins in his body on the tree.

God had to wrap himself in our flesh in order to bear our sins in his body. God is a spirit, he had no body, until he put on flesh (incarnation) and dwelt among us.

The atonement is the real reason for the Incarnation.

Surrender Is Our

Galatians 2:20 ESV

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

5110 We can learn nothing of the gospel except by feeling its truths. There are some sciences that may be learned by the head, but the science of Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart.

Charles Spurgeon

Jesus Died That We Might Live

Living To Righteousness (1 Peter verse)

Either the Lord Jesus Christ came to bring an end of self and reveal a new life in spiritual victory, or He came to patch and repair the old self—He certainly did not come to do both!15
