The Answer to Why Jesus Came to Die: To Cancel the Legal Demands Of the Law Against All Sinners

SERMON AT BETHEL: Jesus on trial 2000 years ago, and the people who are trying Him still today.

************
And you, who were dead in your trespasses......God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

----Colossians 2:13

"WHAT FOLLY IT IS TO THINK that our good deeds may one day outweigh our bad deeds. It is folly for two reasons.

"First, it is not true. Even our good deeds are defective, because we don't honor God in the way we do them. "

----John Piper, Fifty Reasons Jesus Came to Die
