It is quite clear from God's Word, that Christ did indeed die for us, here are just a few examples:
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.
Romans 8:34
Who is he that condemneth?
It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,
who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans 14:9
For to this end
Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans 14:15
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not
him with thy meat,
for whom Christ died.
1 Corinthians 8:11
And through thy knowledge shall the weak
brother perish,
for whom Christ died?
1 Corinthians 15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how
thatChrist died for our sins according to the scriptures;
12 Corinthians 5:14
For the love of
Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if
one died for all, then were all dead:
Its really a wonderful thing, just as the Bible says God will restore all things--no more death, sorrow, pain, etc, he also provided a way to reconcile us to him. He, being purely good and holy and we being sinful men, provided the totally free gift of salvation by dying to pay for all our sins and imputed his righteousness unto us when ours was as filthy rags to a holy God. This is why we love him, because he first loved us and died for us while we were yet ungodly sinners. Now, in his unconditional love for us he also makes intercession for us, he is our advocate. When the accuser, Satan says, look what your child has just done, Jesus turns to the Father and says, its under the blood, he chose to trust in my work on the cross and he is mine forevermore, saved to the uttermost! Haleluia!
