WHY JESUS CAME TO EARTH

The Bible, God's Word, gives us many reasons as to why Jesus came to this earth:           "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto (served), but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Matt. 20:28; Mk. 10:45           "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." Luke 9:56           "I am come to send fire on the earth..." Luke 12:49           "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10; Matt. 18:11           "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10           "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." Heb 10:7           "For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will who has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:38-40           "And you know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin..... For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." I John 3:5,8           "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice which reconciled us to The Father) for our sins." 1 John 4:9,10           "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Luke 5:32; Matt. 9:13; Mk. 2:17           "Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour." John 12:27 He came to die for our sins!           "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.... for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world." John 12:46,47           ".... To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth..." John 18:37           "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners..." I Tim 1:15           "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17           ".... I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true....." John 7:28           "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." John 9:39           "Wherefore when he comes into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering you would not, but a body have you prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God." Heb 10:5-7; Ps. 40:6-8           "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." Heb 9:26           "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." Luke 4:18,19
