1 John 3:16(ESV)
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
The intended purpose of the cross was not just to bring agony and death to Christ in a humiliating way, but to redeem the church from every curse of the law and sin. Christ Jesus died to redeem us and put us back from slavery.
Why would Jesus submit to being rejected, beaten, ridiculed, and crucified on our behalf? In Titus 2:14, Paul writes: Jesus gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself his special people, zealous for good works.
Beloved, Christ went to the cross because of his deep love for us, so that He may redeem and purify us for His good works. He took away our sins and placed them on Himself, and in return, He gave us his righteousness and salvation. Today our salvation is sealed and you’re made a partaker of his inheritance. Hallelujah!!!
Prayer:
Thank you Abba Father for dying to redeem me from the curse of the law. Guide me to follow after godliness in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
