Who Is Jesus Christ and What Is His Mission to the World
Jesus Christ is the sinless, eternal Son of God. We are all sinners. God is a Holy God. He is Love and He is Justice and MUST punish sin (Luke 11:42). The Bible says that "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23) and "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." (Ezekiel 18:4) Note that this death does not simply mean the grave, but eternal death, in Hell and the Lake of Fire, which was designed for the Devil and his (fallen) angels. (Matthew 25:41, 2 Peter 2:4-9) So that means all of us are, from the moment we first commit a sin on our way to hell. Remember that Jesus said that even if you look upon a woman in a lustful way, that you have committed adultery in your heart. (Matthew 5:27-28) If you hate in your heart it is murder (1 John 3:15). Being so Holy that He cannot tolerate sin (even the angels cover their faces and feet before Him (Isaiah 6:1-7)) God cannot allow us sinners into heaven, His holy place at the end of life/time. If He did, He would no longer be a good, Holy, Just God. But being Love He devised a way to save us all, without compromising His position as a Holy God, which He could never do. He sent His sinless Son, Jesus Christ into the World to pay the penalty for our sins. His Holy standards demand a sinless substitute. The only sinless man on earth was His eternal (ever-existing) Son.

CHRIST’S MISSION? “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;” (1 Timothy 1:15) “For He [God the Father] hath made Him [His only Son, Jesus Christ] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21) Jesus said, “The thief [the Devil] cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have [everlasting] life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

    Second of all, Jesus is my Savior through sanctification. Sanctification is being set apart from the world and being made holy and clean in God’s sight. The two phases of sanctification are the negative phase and the positive phase. The Bible clearly teaches the negative aspect of sanctification. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” –2 Corinthians 6:14 “Love not the world,…

    John 8:12 says, When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." If you believe in God, and follow what His plans are for you, He will only give you things to help you and make you prosperous, never things to harm you. John 14:6 says “ I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to my Father, except through me.” Basically, if you want to have eternal life there is no other way to do so unless you have faith in God, and believe His Word. If a man does not believe in God, and doesn’t follow in His ways, he makes up his own rules, his own ideas of how life should be lived and sets up his own failures. The main reason we were created was to fellowship with God, and worship Him. When man doesn’t have a relationship with God, he feels an emptiness and is dissatisfied. He can not be truly content with his life unless he has the Holy Spirit working in him. To be saved by God, you have to accept that God is who He says He is and accept Him as your savior, then you have to repent and confess your sins to God. God is very forgiving, and He says if you confess all your sins to Him he will forgive you. After you do all that, you are born again, and have started your relationship with God. In the book Praxis they say that “The new life God brings about is truly an amazing act of His graciousness and…

    Sinning is one thing people feel that when people do die, they should automatically go to the underworld, or hell, due to their sinful actions. In the Aeneid, book number six, Virgil describes a place where these people go when they perish on earth. When these people get to the underworld, they are judged by their actions and punished depending on the severity of it. Virgil gives us the idea that there is indeed an afterlife, just like Jesus did. But when it came to sinners, Jesus forgave people who have sinned because he wants people to learn the idea of forgiving. Also he wants people to know that nobody is perfect, and that in order for God to forgive one’s sins, he or she must forgive others. When it comes to the idea of sin both Virgil and Jesus agree that there is an afterlife; but Virgil and Jesus’ idea of sin differ when it comes to punishments and judging people as human beings.…

    Judgment is based on his life on Earth and whether he believed in Christ and followed his teachings. The Bible says: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him (John 3:36)”. Hell is a torture chamber while Heaven is a glorious place which is beyond description and the heavenly abode of God the Father. Those believers who are saved by God’s grace will get to go to Heaven. Salvation is of top priority to every Christian.…

    Heaven exists for the souls that believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior and Hell exists for the souls that have rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. Anyone can receive the free gift of eternal life that was bought by the death of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). To receive the gift one has to believe and know that God sent His son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to save humanity from their sins through His perfect life, death and resurrection (John 3:16). When one understands what has been done, their life will be forever changed and will be evident through the act of sanctification. Sanctification is the product of a changed heart that their soul will spend eternity with their heavenly. Ultimately, the souls of humanity will end up either in Heaven with God or in Hell separated from God for…

    This is neither Heaven or Hell but in between. Those who have been born into the world or died before they were ever baptized still carry the burden of the original sin. If they are good people or innocent souls but they still have the original sin they cannot go to Heaven but they will not be sent to Hell. So they are sent to what is theorized as Limbo. In Christian theories is has also been known as the intermediate place. Souls are thought to generally live in a state of natural happiness till the end of time in the intermediate place or Limbo. The function of Limbo is that it serves as a place for souls to go to when they are not welcomed in either Heaven or Hell. It is a place of resting for the souls who do not have a…

    Jesus is not less than the Father or beneath the Father as claimed by other, but came as a servant to do the will of the Father, obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross as Philippians 2:8 says, doing all of the one who sent him (90). He “made a passage to the kingdom of God to life eternal for His Church, to which He is so the Head as to make the body also immortal,” Jesus was there from the beginning and was used for Gods…
