Why Did Jesus Come into the World?

God “became flesh,” He became one of the creatures he made, man.

Why did God do this?

Jesus came to earth because he loves us;

He came to deliver truth in a world of false beliefs.

But the main reason He came to earth was to be the final sacrifice for our sins.

After man was made and given dominion over the earth, Satan, came to Eve in the garden to deceive her.

Through tempting Eve to disobey God’s command, it resulted in Adam also disobeying God and brought sin to earth.

When Adam sinned, it confirmed him and all of us in a change of nature, unholiness.

Sin entered into mans nature and spread to the offspring of all people.

John 6:38: “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

As a servant, he, the Son came to do the will of the Father.

Christianity is for everyone but not everyone will respond; only those who acknowledge they are sinful.

John 8:12 Jesus spoke, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Darkness is representative of sin and judgment.

I John 1:5-6: “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.”

Jesus explained his purpose for becoming man Matthew 18:11-12 “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?”

God uses human shepherds to explain how the chief shepherd would act.

This is God’s heart to not lose a single one that is in the fold.

Matthew 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

God the Father sent the Son from heaven to earth to become a man to demonstrate what life is like living in obedience to their creator.

Speaking to Pilate just prior to his crucifixion (John 18:37-38) Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” “You say rightly that I am a king. “For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.

Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”

Some people believe they already have the truth without Jesus.

But Jesus said He is the truth, the truth is found in a person and that person is God’s Son who spoke only truth.

No one is born in this world with the truth, one must be reborn spiritually to know this truth (John.3:3-6).
