Beloved GOD is LOVE [1 John 4.8] as well as JUST [Romans 2.11]. HE is both. Now, Why JESUS had to die for us? Remember, the Holy GOD cannot let sin go unpunished. To bear our own sins would be to suffer GOD’s judgment in the flames of hell. Praise GOD, HE kept HIS promise to send and sacrifice the perfect Lamb to bear the sins of those who trust in HIM [John 3.16], [Romans 6.23]. JESUS had to die because HE is the only one who can pay the penalty for our sins. Only GOD could pay such an infinite penalty [Romans 5:8], [2 Corinthians 5:21]. JESUS had to be GOD so that HE could pay our debt. JESUS had to be man so HE could die for us [Romans 5.15], [Romans 5.19]. Salvation is available only through faith in JESUS CHRIST [Acts 4.12]. That is why JESUS proclaimed, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” [John 14:6]. Salvation or Eternal LIFE is a GIFT of GOD but you should receive it in order to Enjoy it [Romans 10.9-10].
