Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

Philippians 3:5-14 / "What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ..." (8)

Hymn #151 Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed (Unified Hymn 138)

God prepared the Gospel before the creation of the world, from long ages past. (Ephesians 1:4 & Romans 16:25) He did that because Satan had already existed. (Ezekiel 28:12) Satan deceived Adam and Eve and spread the Nephilim and the Tower of Babel movements. (Genesis 3:4~5, 6:4-5, 11:1-8) Because of the event of the Garden of Eden, all people became children of Satan. However, God immediately provided salvation (Genesis 3:15) and continued to prophesy the covenant, (Exodus 3:18 & Isaiah 7:14) The fulfillment was none other than Jesus Christ who was called Immanuel who became incarnate and came as the Light, (Matthew 1:19~23, John 1:11~12, Matthew 16:16, & 1 John 3:8) Even after the Jewish people received this Gospel, they changed it into the Law. In the end, the Jewish people suffered disasters for 2,000 years. By knowing the mystery of the Gospel, you'll be liberated from the past; today; and future. Your fate and destiny will change and the blessing of Eden and "The Throne's Blessing" will be restored. Furthermore, you've been given the key which is the name of Jesus. Enjoying that is prayer, (Acts 3:6, 4:12, 16:16-18, Luke 10:19, & 1 Peter 2:9)

1. The Reason Why Jesus Christ Had to Die
Genesis 2:17 states that the result of sin is death; however, because of people's unbelief, they left God and became children of Satan. As a result, they were seized in the law of sin and death, (Romans 3:10, John 8:44, & Romans 8:2) That's why God allowed Christ to die on behalf of sinners to eliminate all curses and disasters. (Romans 5:8)

2. The Result of the Death of Jesus Christ
By dying on the cross, Christ resolved all your sins. By offering His body once and for all, He took on your sins; sanctified you; and led you to God, (Hebrews 9:28, 10:10, & 1 Peter 3:18)

3. The Mystery and Participation of the Death of Jesus Christ
On the cross, He served as the true King; the true Prophet; and the true Priest who destroyed the work of the devil; the background of Hell; and sins. The path to participate in the power of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is Galatians 2:20. Moreover, just like Paul, whatever you do, "do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31) and run toward the reward that's in the hands of Christ and given from above. Furthermore, all you have to do is enjoy the name of Jesus, which brings everything under His control, (Philippians 3:1-21)

Starting now, please pray to enjoy the status of enjoying "3·9·3" and the authority to relay it. "Intercessory prayer" is accepting and conveying "3·9·3." By doing so, you'll relay what's spiritual.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may You receive all the glory, and may Your amazing authority be proclaimed in this world. May I firmly hold onto this covenant in order to receive true answers. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
