So far in this series, we have learned that Christ was born the perfect God/Man, the second Adam, crowned with man’s original glory and honour so that he could taste death for every man (Heb 2:9). Next, we learned Christ came to this earth as the God/Man to die in order to save sinners (1Ti […]
(1 Timothy 1:15) “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” The main reason Jesus came into this world was to save sinners from hell. For Him to be able to do that, He had to die. Thus, […]
