About 2000 years ago a baby was born… His Name is Jesus… a proof of Him being born is the year we are numbering…. What year is it now? Those years are counted starting from the day Jesus Christ died, buried and rose again… Why are we counting the years based on His death? because we are counting the years when might He come back as He has promised….
But the greatest news that we need to understand is WHY did He come in the first place? Many people in their knowledge have their own answers to this question. But can they really answer “WHY?”. Can people really answer when they themselves weren’t there? No, they cannot! Unless Someone was truly there and can explain the details as to “WHY?”. And that Someone can only be God Himself, the Author as to WHY Christ came. The problem is no one can see or hear God! And in reality? Many don’t believe in God even if many evidences are in plain sight. People tend to seek out other answers except believing that there is God. But thing is, answering the question as to why Jesus came to earth in the first place is very much connected or inseparable in believing that there is God; And that Holy and Almighty God is revealed only in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible.
Now, again many people don’t believe in the Bible, saying such are only stories and myths. Some groups actually make importance of the Bible, but they are not actually reading it or believing in it. Some call themselves Christians but they never believed the Bible as God’s Word but only man’s. They would rather believe in the words of their leaders, who are actually just like them. But thing is, the Bible is the only record that declares Jesus Christ is Truth and the only thing that declares much truths of the situation of the entire human race. In fact, the Bible has always been a reliable unchanging truth for the person who believes in it but is useless to someone who doesn’t really believe in God, in Jesus Christ or the Bible.
Now, what’s my point? To answer the question why Jesus came the first time around must first believe in the Bible. But truth be told, before one could believe on something, one must listen or read what is being said, then the listener or reader can decide to believe / receive the truth or reject it. I have therefore listed herein Bible verses that should explain and answer the question “Why Jesus came to earth 2000 years ago?”. There are actually more or it would be best if the whole Bible is read from Genesis to Revelations because these books are all connected and they all point to Jesus Christ. But I have listed just a few. These verse are not my word, but God’s Word.
But to answer the question, it begins first in the BAD NEWS:
Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 3:10-11
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”
WHY AND HOW IS IT THAT ALL HAVE SINNED?
Romans 5:12
“Wherefore, as by one man[Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
WHAT THEN if all have sinned?
Romans 6:23a
“For the wages of sin is death;..”
Revelation 21:8
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
BUT THERE IS A GOOD NEWS
John 10:10
“The thief[Satan] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I [Jesus Christ] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Romans 6:23b
“BUT the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 10:9-10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
NO AMOUNT OF GOOD WORKS OR EFFORTS CAN SAVE US… it is only BY FAITH (Believe and Trust) IN JESUS CHRIST (Who He says as He is, Lord, Savior, Master, King)
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Titus 3:5
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;”
If you have not let Jesus Christ be part of your life, Now is the time to decide….
2 Corinthians 6:2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Romans 10:9-10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
This [GOSPEL, Good News of Jesus Christ] is the reason why Jesus Christ first came to earth. He took all the punishment for sin that even led to His death, but after 3 days He rose again. And after forty days, showing the evidence of His resurrection and teaching the disciples more, He ascended to heaven and promised He surely will come again. And that before ascending, He declared that this “Good News” be preached in all the world so that whosoever believes shall be saved (John 3:16).
It is here therefore I end and leave the question and decision to whoever reads this. Will you believe Jesus as truth or reject Him?
