Why did Jesus Die?
1. Because we are all sinners!
It is not hard to admit that we all have done things that we know is wrong, but yet we do them anyway. That is called sin! We all are guilty of it we have been doing it since we were born.
Markos 2:17 Jeju oo tar ke daw n̂ -paje le ngaa pa arede na: « Dewje ke rɔde to ke maje ndikije ta koo nje-kare kuma ang. Dewje ke rɔde tode bba. Dewje ke ooje rɔde to dewje ke gate gate a m-ddee ta bbarde ang. M-ddee mba dewje ke gereje to n̂ -toje to nje ne-ddaje ke maji ang.»
Matiye 18:11 Mba Ngonn le dew ddee ta kaji dewje ke naynje ke kɔrɔ.
2. Because there is a cost for that sin!
Matiye 15:18-20 A ne ke tee ta dew te in me dew te. Neenn a aw dda are dew tel to ne-yerew. Mba kejeje ke majang neenn tɔyn inje me dew te: Tɔl dew, lo-to-majang, dda kaya, bboko, tar-naji ke ke dɔgɔle ang, nane ke naa. Neje ke baann a aw dda are dew ddee ne to ne-yerew. A toko ji ang a kusa ne ne bba aw dda are dew ddee to ne-yerew ang.»
Markos 16:16 Dew ke oo mee te, ngaa n̂ -ddae batem a, a kinga kaji. Dew ke oo mee te ang a, sariya dɔe te.
NEJE KE DDUTU NDƆ TE 20:11-15 Goe te a, moo tɔku ngende-mbay ke nda, ke dew ke isi te. Nange, ke dara ɔtuje aynje nɔe te ke ddang, are dew tel oode ang ngaa.
12 Ngaa moo dewje ke oy, nje ke ngaji, ke nje ke bo, darje taar nɔ ngende-mbay te le. N̂ -teyn maketuruje, a n̂ -tel n̂ -teyn mare maketuru bbay, to maketuru tebbe. Ngaa n̂ -gange sariya dɔ dewje te ke oy ase kem kula ddade, ddew kara baa toke ye ke n̂ -dda maketuruje te le.
13 Ba-kate tee ke ninn dewje ke naynje mee te. Ngaa yo, ke lo le dewje ke oy teeje ke ninn dewje ke toje mee te, are n̂ - gange sariya dɔde te kara kare ase kem kula ddade.
14 Goe te a, dungu yo, ke lo le dewje ke oy me ndake puru te. Ndake puru le to yo ke gɔl joo laa.
15 Dew ke dinga ria maketuru tebbe te le ang a, dilae ndake puru te le.
NEJE KE DDUTU NDƆ TE 21:8 A nje-bbeelje, nje ke tusuje me-kunn inyaje, nje-ne-ddaje ke maji ang, nje-tɔl dewje, nje-ddaje lo-to-majang, nje-kumaje, nje-poloje kɔr, ke nje-ngemje tɔyn, lo lede to me ndake puru ke supere to me te. Yeenn to yo ke gɔl joo laa.
There is a cost for sin! 3. Because Jesus died and paid for our sins on the cross!
MATIYE 1:21 Na kuju ngonn ke dingaw, ta a kunda ria na Jeju, mba ne a na kaji dewje laa me majangje te lede.»
Romans 5:6 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.”
Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
MATIYE 18:11 Non i Nga i Kéilawane, sani Begéne, ménangéyu dini inok fukasé kuy de étéw ménsala do maak do méntadin ro.
Christ died for sinners!
4. Salvation is a free gift, not by good works. You must take God’s word for it, and trust Jesus alone!
Salvation is trusting and receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior. It's trusting in the fact that Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary to pay for your sins! It's realizing there is absolutely nothing whatsoever you can do to save yourself and completely trusting in Jesus Christ to save you! It's not any church that saves. It's not any baptism, not good works, not sacraments, not repenting, not praying through, not living a good life — IT'S NOT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO!
Kula 4:12 Ne kara baa nase kajije, mba Lubba are mare ri dang dɔ nange te ke a kase kajije ang.
Tite 3:5 najije. Najije wɔju dɔ ne ke gate gate ke n̂ -ddaje ang. A najije mba noo kem-to-ndoo leje nare n̂ -ddee to dewje ke siki ddew toko ke n̂ -tokoje ddem ddew te le Ndil-me-nda ddem.
5. We must put our faith and trust in Christ alone!
Marke 9:23 Jeju pa are na: «Mba ddi bba e-pa na: ‹Bbo ase ta dda mare ne a,› wa? Dew ke koo mee te laa to a kase dda ne tɔyn!»
Marke 1:15 N̂ -pa na: « Kare ke Lubba ɔju le ase ngaa. Bbe-kɔn le Lubba ddee ngɔsi ngaa. E-turuje ddew lese bbo ooje mese te ke Tar ke maji.»
Marke 10:28 Yeenn ngaa Piyar pa are na: « Oo! Jinya neje tɔyn a junn goi.»
Romans 10:9-10, 13 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here is prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness of sins. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your forgiveness.
"Lord,
I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"
