Dear christian brothers, What is meant by Jesus died for our sins, Can you explain me? Thank you?

Update:

Curious why are u so harsh? Remember I am a Hindu.

Hinduism is having a lot of stories than any other religion.

I always try to know the truth behind any story.

Really I want to learn something from the way he was died.

I am asking u the real meaning of this.

    Well if you pass a value judgement and are punished for it, then you were punished for those things. So how that extrapolates into the spiritual realm depends on your belief but it seems like a simple concept. I guess in this context Jesus was the ultimate role model, and this wasnt inline with the authorities, so he died for those beliefs... of which he adhered too as a witness for others to lead. You can intepret the langauge anyway you like as its so darn old, langauges have evolved to allow better communication - part of the problem of people who adhere strictly to old writtings, its mostly guesswork.

    John 3:16 - I geuss this verse explains youe que. But read Hebrews 9:22 - ......without the shedding of the blood there is no forgiveness of sins and 10:4 which says its impossible for the blood of goats and bulls which was anciently being used for sin atonement to take away sins. So the only alternative blood shed is Jesus' to purify and cleanse us. Read hebrews 9:11-14.

    The Apostle Paul said "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

    In the Old Testament, sin had to be paid by the sacrifice of a spotless lamb.

    Jesus was sent to earth by God through a miraculous virgin birth, and never sinned, which allowed Him to be the 'Spotless Lamb' to be sacrified for our sins as that payment.

    However, just because Jesus did this, does not automatically provide salvation for ALL!

    One must ask Jesus to forgive one's sins, and become their Savior and Lord, and He will!

    Then they will have salvation. Final Answer!

    John 3:16-17

    When God created the heavens and the earth , and animals . God made man in his image to serve him and be caretakers of the garden of Eden . God gave man a " Free will ". God told Adam and Eve to eat any thing from the garden Except from the tree of knowledge of good and evil or you will die ( Spiritually and physically ). Satan ( A two winged cherub who wants to over throw God ) made himself a serpent and deceived Eve to eat the fruit of the tree ,she gave to Adam to eat also . That was disobedient and the first sin committed against God .We are separated from God .As a result of their sin God cursed the world with sin. Basically saying here you sinned , live with it . This is why we are all born with sin . That is why we have sickness ,diseases , getting old , death , severe weather, etc . Satan is encouraging the human soul to be evil and disobedient , he wants your soul . God having infinite mercy , emptied himself of his glory and came to earth as a human which was Jesus . Jesus preached the gospel ( Good News ) for three years . When Jesus was 33 he was accused of comparing himself to God. He was whipped over 30 x with a metal tipped whip ,had his beard plucked out , hit , spit upon ,a crown of thorns pushed on his head . Then was crucified on the cross , hanged by the nails in his hands and feet ,shed his precious blood and died on the cross . Then three days later raised from the grave for our justification. His blood made the payment for sin for thoes who choose to believe so they don't have to go to hell.Every one on this earth who doesn't trust and believe in Jesus as their savior is destine to be Judged by God for their sins ( They will be many ) against Gods law . they will found guilty and be sent to Hell a eternal lake of fire to be tormented and suffer for eternity ( forever ) The people who trust and believe in Jesus as their savior will spend eternity in paradise in heaven with God . Please get a King James version of the bible ,If you can . And read it . . Start in the new testament . Or listen on a radio try to get " Family Radio ". John 3:16 " For God so loved the world , that he gave his only begotten Son , that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life".

    2. HE BESEECHED GOD FOR HELP.

    With strong crying and tears for God Almighty to keep him ALIVE!

    3. GOD "HEARD" HIS PRAYERS

    Which means that God accepted his prayers to keep him ALIVE!

    4. AN ANGEL OF GOD CAME TO STRENGTHEN HIM:

    In the hope and belief that God will save him ALIVE!

    5. PILATE FINDS JESUS NOT GUILTY!

    Good reason to keep Jesus ALIVE!

    6. PILATES WIFE SHOWN A DREAM IN WHICH SHE WAS TOLD THAT —

    "No harm should come to this just man." In other words that he should be saved ALIVE!

    7. SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE CROSS FOR ONLY THREE HOURS.

    According to the system in vogue, no man could die by crucifixion in so short a time which means that even if he was fastened to the cross — he was ALIVE!

    8- THE OTHER TWO — HIS "CROSSMATES" ON THEIR RESPECTIVE CROSSES WERE ALIVE.

    So Jesus too, for the same period of time must be ALIVE!

    9. ENCYCLOPEDIA BIBLICA UNDER ARTICLE "CROSS" — COLUMN 960 says:

    "When the spear was thrust — Jesus was ALIVE! "

    10. "FORTHWITH" CAME THERE OUT BLOOD AND WATER:

    "Forthwith" means straightaway, immediately which was a sure sign that Jesus was ALIVE!

    11. LEGS NOT BROKEN — AS A FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY.

    "Legs" can be of any use only if Jesus was ALIVE!

    12. THUNDERSTORM, EARTHQUAKE, AND DARKENING OF THE SUN ALL WITHIN 3 HOURS!

    To disperse the sadistic mob to enable his "secret disciples" to help, keep him ALIVE!

    13. JEWS DOUBTED HIS DEATH:

    They suspected that he had escaped death on the cross — that he was ALIVE!

    14. PILATE "MARVELS" TO HEAR THAT JESUS WAS DEAD. He knew from experience that no man can die so soon by crucifixion. He suspected that Jesus was ALIVE!

    15. BIG ROOMY CHAMBER: Close at hand, and big and airy for willing hands to come to the rescue. Providence was out to keep Jesus ALIVE!

    16. STONE AND "WINDING SHEETS" HAD TO BE REMOVED: Only necessary if Jesus was ALIVE!

    17. REPORT ON WINDING SHEETS. German Scientists who carried out experiments on the "Shroud of Turin" said that the heart of Jesus had not stopped functioning — that he was ALIVE!

    18. EVER IN DISGUISE! Disguise not necessary if Jesus was "resurrected". Only necessary if he was ALIVE!

    19. FORBADE MARY MACDALENE TO TOUCH HIM "Touch me not" for this reason that it would hurt; because he was ALIVE!

    20. "NOT YET ASCENDED UNTO MY FATHER" In the language of the Jews, in the idiom of the Jews, he was saying, "I am not dead yet", in other words, "I am ALIVE!"

    21. MARY MAGDALENE NOT AFRAID ON RECOGNISING JESUS. Because she had seen signs of life before. She was looking for a Jesus who was ALIVE!

    22. DISCIPLES PETRIFIED ON SEEING JESUS IN THE UPPER-ROOM. All their knowledge about the "crucifixion" was from hearsay, therefore, they could not believe that Jesus was ALIVE!

    23. ATE FOOD AGAIN AND AGAIN IN HIS POST 'CRUCIFIXION" APPEARANCES. Food only necessary if he was ALIVE!

    24. NEVER SHOWED HIMSELF TO HIS ENEMIES. Because he had escaped death by the "skin of his teeth". He was ALIVE!

    25. TOOK ONLY SHORT TRIPS. Because he was not resurrected, not spiritualised, but ALIVE!

    26. TESTIMONY OF MEN AROUND THE TOMB: "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" — (Luke 24:4-5): That he is not dead, but ALIVE!

    27. TESTIMONY OF ANGELS: ". . . angels who had said that he was ALIVE!" — Luke 24:23. Did not say, "resurrected" but the actual word uttered by the angels was "ALIVE!"

    28. MARY MAGDALENE TESTIFIES — ". . . they heard that he was ALIVE, and had been seen by her, they believed not." — (Mark 16.-11):

    Mary did not vouch for a spook, or ghost or spirit of Jesus but a LIVE Jesus. What they could not believe was that the Master was ALIVE!

    29. DR. PRIMROSE TESTIFIES: That the "water and the blood", when Jesus was lanced on the side, was on account of an upset in the nervous vessels because of the scourging by staves. Which was a sure sign that Jesus was ALIVE!

    30. JESUS HAD HIMSELF FORETOLD THAT HIS MIRACLE WILL BE THE MIRACLE OF JONAH!

    According to the Book of Jonah, Jonah was ALIVE, when we expected him to be DEAD;

    similarly when we expect Jesus to be DEAD, he should be ALIVE AND NOT CRUCIFIED.

    Qur’an 4:157: "That they (Jews) said boasting, "We killed Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah, but they (Jews) killed him not, nor crucified him..."
