Jesus Died for Our Sins<\/b><\/h1>

Our second conversation focused on our sinful human nature, and how we repeatedly fail to trust and love God. We discussed how the sin in our lives not only does damage in the short term, but it also brings a death penalty: spiritual separation from God forever. We have to pay that price\u2014unless someone sinless loves us enough to pay it for us.<\/span><\/p>

That\u2019s exactly what Jesus did.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cIs there any other way, God?<\/em>\u201dJesus cries out. The Father\u2019s answer is clear: no. <\/span>For the world to be rescued, it will cost Jesus\u2019 life. That night, Jesus went on to be betrayed by a close friend, arrested by the Jewish leaders, subjected to a false trial, mocked and spat on, then whipped and crucified by the Roman authorities. The biblical authors explain why he willingly endured all that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
