| 1) Vinay, apparently not yet a Christian, or simply not able to resolve this question in his local fellowship, writes: "why did God send Jesus on the earth?" |
Hello, Vinay!
Thank you for visiting with us here at the BibleStudyHour.net. Thank you also for giving us this opportunity to assist you with your query.
Chiefly, the reason God sent Jesus into the world is so that, and because only, He could do for us that which we cannot do for ourselves. That,
this world in which we live is not going to continue forever. In reality, it was not designed to do so; at least, not as we know it. It is going to be
destroyed, and so is mankind (in a matter of speaking). Mankind's "destruction" will consist of his being consigned to an eternity in hell, fire
and brimstone (yellow sulfur), forever, eternally separated from God, with no possibility of ever getting out. Why, you ask? Because of the fall of
the father of all humanity, a fellow the Bible calls Adam. His failure to obey God in one small, seemingly insignificant area, has set the stage for all of
us. Because of him, we are all now rebels in God's Eyes, and so, are fit (as we are, at this moment; no matter good or righteous we may be or, think
we are) only for the aforementioned destruction.
While we cannot save ourselves from this awful fate, there is One, and only One Way out of this impending destruction in hell fire: Jesus
Christ, the Jew; the Nazarene from Nazareth--God in human flesh, who for love of His fallen creature man, although He is the Creator, allowed
Himself to be "morphed" or transformed from His original Spirit "persona" into the likeness of us His hopeless, hapless creatures, so that He could
demonstrate that love by taking upon Himself the penalty we so richly deserve; i.e., He (God--although He was originally equal to the Father, in
every way, identical in every respect--came as the Son; flesh, blood and bones ), He came and, God the Father sent Him to die a death (on
Calvary's Cross) that we ourselves should have died! "For God Loved the world, despite its many shortcomings and failings, so much that He
sent the only Son He has ever had to die for it" (John 3:16).
Is there anything that you or I can do, to circumvent His work? To save ourselves? No! Nothing at all. God told the Old Testament Jews that
everything they did thinking it to be righteous, was to Him like a woman's filthy menstruation cloth! This example serves as a model of God's
estimation of the righteous deeds of all mankind, viewed apart from the righteous life and walk of His Son, Jesus the Christ. He, therefore, the Son
has done it all.
What can, or, must you do to be saved? Begin by understanding the foregoing message, accepting it, embracing it, placing all your faith, trust
and confidence in Jesus Christ as your Lord and only Savior. Admit, in prayer to the Father that you are a sinner (as are all men, per the
rebellion and fall of Adam), hopeless, and yet (understanding His revelation and estimation of your plight), desirous to be saved. Ask Him to
forgive all your sins, per the will of the Son, Jesus Christ. Apart from Him there is nothing else you, I or anyone else can ever do to be made
right before God or, to save ourselves from the "wrath" of God which is to come because of the sinful state of all humanity.
I hope and pray this helps, Vinay. Let me know if it answers your question, ok? To learn more about Jesus, why He came, etc. may I suggest
returning to our sites and taking a little time to look over some of the studies there? Start with, www.biblestudyhour.com/HadJesusNotCome.html,
then go to www.biblestudyhour.net/TheGospelataGlance.html (if these links don't work, simply go to www.biblestudyhour.net and go through
the index or listing of studies there having to do directly with Jesus). Download any of the articles or print them out to carry with you, if you like;
feel free.

| 2) Are you a new Christian, born again, eager to get started learning and serving the Lord? Are you having troubles getting all your questions and concerns addressed by your local church fellowship, because your "fellow" Christians think you are a "jerk", a "pain-in-the-neck", or simply leave you feeling like maybe you are more of a "bother", than brother? Have you trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, only to find that you still have "guilty" feelings about your past life of sin? Neal from Louisville, Ky--recently saved as of last month--has found himself in this type of dilemma. Maybe you too will be helped by the advise shared with him, here. |
You say that you are “…a totally different person…” but you still feel a “…lot of guilt..”. May I suggest that for starters that you now need to begin thinking God’s
thoughts about you? Now that you are a brand new believer, you have in God’s eyes, been born again (or, from “above”; consider John 3:3-6). No man can ever hope to
enter into the Kingdom of God, into the very present of the Almighty, except as he is born from above, by God’s Holy Spirit. He now lives in you, having taken up residence in
your heart by virtue of your faith, trust and confidence in Jesus the Christ of Calvary—in response to your recognition of Him as your Lord and Savior. This being the case,
you now have a link to the Throne Room of Heaven (Romans 8:26) who will always assist you in your prayerful approaches to the Father, as and by means of Whom you can
now have fellowship and the ability to commune directly with the Father (Matthew 6:5-15). Moreover, always bear in mind that in God’s eyes, you are and were, from the
moment of your profession of faith, a new creation, your old life with all its sins, your shortcomings and failings is no longer held against you. At this juncture, He has done
all that He can do. Your part now is to recognize (appropriate and incorporate this knowledge into your thinking) that all your sins have been forgiven—all your sins and all
your “quilt” have been transferred to Him who never committed any sin (II Corinthians. 5:17-21; consider also Ephesians 4:22-5:20).
The best most effective way to think God’s thoughts concerning you, beyond the aforementioned, is to continue doing as you are doing: seek diligently to quench that
thirst for knowledge and information by feasting regularly on the sincere milk of God’s Written Word (I Peter 2:2). Your experience bears a strange resemblance to
mine, more than 25 years ago. At that time the Lord reached out to me and, when I yielded (finally!), I too began to study and read the Book voraciously, both at work during
my free time, and at home. It was the joy of my life, guess you might say.
As for your feeling such that you are “…bothering the people…” of your congregation, be advised that you probably are. Few churches in this country today are truly
committed to the things of God. Each, or each denomination of churches has its own little agenda, or ways of looking at scripture, which is seldom if ever in full accord with
the Will and Mind of God. The Christ that most preach is often not the Jesus Christ of the Bible, as rather He is one tailored to their liking. Guess one might say that Satan is
not only having his greatest harvest of “Christians” ever, but he is even enjoying a greater harvest than the Lord Himself (as bizarre as that sounds, it is in full
accord with the Lord’s own teaching, and that of His apostles)! Hence, if God has put within your heart a hunger and a thirst to know Him better, so that He can prepare you
for some future work that He has set aside with you name on it, and you seek to satisfy that desire in a church that is spiritually bankrupt (as all too many are!), then guess
what—you will eventually become to them a pain-n-the-neck. Few churches or Bible Study Groups make even a casual effort to teach this Book the way God
intended. I would never have learned the many things He has shown me, had I relied on the local churches (I must confess, but am sorry to say), nor would I therefore, have
ever been able to grow spiritually.
I am not familiar with Louisville, KY, although I think I did attend a church there once, some years ago (or was that in Lexington? I believe it was Lexington.). Hence, I can’t
make many recommendations. I see from looking over the web, however, that there is a Calvary Chapel in your area at 1407 Belmar Dr., e-mail: rock@bluegrass.net;
website: www.calvarychapel.com/louisville; phone: 502-485-9944; Pastor: Rocky Jones. His church is part of a movement begun by a guy named Chuck Smith, many
years ago, called Calvary Chapel, based in Costa Mesa, CA. In general, I have enjoyed the ministry of Pastor Chuck, and all the pastors of a number of the various Calvary
Chapel churches I have been privileged to hear (all over the country; a few I’ve attended) seem to be pretty good. I can only recommend that you check them out. They’ll
most likely be having a Bible Study/prayer meeting Wednesday or sometime this week, so I suggest going to their website or calling them up using the info above to see what
they can offer.
You did not mention which pages you visited while at our sites, so may I suggest that if you haven’t done so already, that you begin your Christian journey by getting to
know Jesus as God wants Him to be known? Not all the articles on our sites about Jesus were written specifically for “spiritual new borns”, necessarily, nonetheless, all can
be helpful toward that end. I would suggest starting with www.biblestudyhour.net/TheGospelataGlance.html. Then, to help with your “guilt” problem, consider the article on
“Temptation, Sin, & Conviction”. To get and idea of the problems you will face in trying to find a good church (should Calvary Chapel not be to your liking), read “Jesus & the
Denominations”. Afterwards, randomly check out all the other articles, as all contain valuable “body-building” information.
Let me know if this has been of any help to you, and if I can be of further assistance, don’t hesitate to ask. If Calvary Chapel works for you, let me know, ok?
God bless you.

| 3) Vinay asks: HI .thank you for the answer you provided me,as u mentioned in your mail that coz of adam we all are sinners by birth but as my knoweledge tells me christ died coz of a) our sins and once we are baptised our original sin is washed so b) why did you mentioned in your mail we cant do any thng apart from asking forgiveness for our sins, c) why should we ask pardon for some thing which have allready been forgiven.......? |
Forgiveness and Pardon
for Sin
Why must we ask?
Hello, Vinay!
How are you today? Once again you pose a couple of very good questions & observations. Please note that my response to you first e-mail was based squarely upon the
assumption that you were you not a Christian, and that you were not implying that you had ever made any profession of faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior--the basis for said
assumption being the question itself, which implied to me that you had no knowledge of the Christian faith.
That said then, per your statement such that "...once we are baptized our original sin is washed...", please be advised and note that forgiveness of sin (original, or
otherwise), salvation from sin is not automatic, nor is forgiveness in any way contingent upon any physical, external, outward acts or religious ceremonies that we
may perform in order to impress God or, so as to deserve forgiveness of sin or to be saved form our sins. Consider, Vinay, as Paul makes this assertion, regarding salvation
and the forgiveness of sin: "for it is by grace, that you have been saved; not of yourselves (that is not based upon any righteous acts on your part, because) it (salvation and
forgiveness), is a gift from God; having nothing to do with works (of any kind), so that you cannot ever stand before Him and boast (in what you have done to make yourself
righteous before a Holy and just God; the Father's wish is to quell any potential for arrogance, self-righteousness, or boasting on our part)" (Ephesians 2:8, 9).
Again, Paul writing to, instructing and encouraging one of his young converts makes this observation: He "...has saved us and called us with a consecrated calling, not based
upon any works, as rather it is in accord with His own purpose and grace, which was made available to us in Christ Jesus, before He even made the world" (or man!) (II
Timothy 1:9) In a complimentary statement to the Thessalonians, Paul notes that "...God, from the beginning, chose us to salvation based upon our being set apart by
His Spirit and our faith, trust and confidence in the truth (the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus) (II Thes. 2:13).
Once more and finally, Paul writes to another of his spiritual constrips, that it is "...not by any of works righteousness, that any of us have ever done, but based solidly and
only upon His mercy that He has saved us (and has forgiven us our sins), by the washing of regeneration (the administration of a new birth), and renewal from His Holy
Spirit; all made available to us plentifully (and freely) by or through Jesus Christ our Savior; so that being cleared of all our guilt by His grace, we should be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life" (i.e., our faith, trust and confidence in the Word of God, which says that these things are so) (Titus 3:5-7).
Observe, if you will, Vinay, that in all these and similar statements regarding forgiveness of sin, salvation and a right standing with God, positively no emphasis is ever placed
upon works, external deeds, rituals or ceremonies, such that we need to perform them to obtain God's favor; not even baptism (and certainly not the taking of the
so-called "eucharist"). Rather, the focus is on that which is, given the right set of circumstances, characteristic of (if not indigenous to) the heart; i.e., that which is first and
foremost inward. Moreover, the act of baptism cannot and will not wash away any man's sin (never has; never will; original, or otherwise). It is simply an outward
expression of our faith (that inner condition, of the heart), by which we testify that we identify with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection (Consider Romans 6:3, 4; I
Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 3:27; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:11-12).
There is a place for works (externally) in every Christian's life, walk and testimony but it is after his exercise of "faith", based upon which his mind and heart is renewed and set
apart by the Holy Spirit of God (for use by the Father; "Father" here being God the Father, not the pope or pontiff), making and marking us as "new creations" (II
Corinthians 5:17), in Christ Jesus.
Why do we have to "...ask for forgiveness...why do should we ask for pardon..."? As I stated earlier, forgiveness and salvation are not automatic, although they are
made available to us freely, as gifts from the Father, based squarely upon the vicarious, substitutionary death of Jesus Christ, on Calvary's Cross for us all (remember, a gift
is not a gift unless it is accepted by the intended recipient). By asking for forgiveness and pardon, we demonstrate before God that we accept His free gift, that we understand
and accept the gospel message, its ramifications, and are willing to come and surrender to the Father's will on His terms and conditions, not our own (or our
denominations', and most assuredly not those of the R. C. Church). This gift has not already been given to you, simply because it has been make freely available to you.
So, there you go, Vinay. I pray that once again I have been able to be of service to you in this regard. Let me know if this helps, ok? And, next time tell me a little bit about
yourself, if you don't mind, alright (what country; your occupation; male or female--I can't tell from your name; student, married, single?)? Thanks.
Bye, now.
