"They told you that the primary purpose of the death of the Lord Jesus on the cross was to save you"

Not just because they told us that He died on the Cross to save us, but if you examine what the Bible says very carefully, then you will understand why they said us. So the question is: How did He save us, exactly? And why is he called the Savior? "For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting. For God sent not His Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by Him." (John 3:16-17) God didn"t abandon His human creation after Adam"s sin because He guaranteed to deliver a savior into the world and to open again the gates of Heaven for us. "I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: She shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel." (Genesis 3:15) Who is the seed and who is the Savior? Jesus, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, and the Son of Man. He has saved us from our offenses. "Thou shalt call His name Jesus. For He shall save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) "And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God." (John 1:34) Now what are the reasons why Jesus came to die on the Cross? We must know that there is no way to depart from the curse of God"s law. We were guilty. His death was the only to be free from this. Somebody must pay the penalty of the original sin. "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13). God sent Jesus to reconcile us to God. "While we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son" (Romans 5:10). His death is also to consume the wrath of God. So God sent his own Son is to redirect the punishment of sin to Jesus. " In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." It is also one way to show God"s love for sinners. The measure of God"s love is shown by the amount of Jesus" sacrifice in saving us from the penalty of our offenses. Because our damage is so huge, only a holy sacrifice could pay it. "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) His death is also the greatest statement that he loved us and gave himself to us. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and [a]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me: (Galatians 2:20) Jesus compensated the highest price possible to give us, mankind, the greatest gift possible. The Gospel is the good announcement that at the price of Jesus" life, and the Gospel means good news. "Christ"suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God" (1 Peter 3:18). God has done everything important to beguile us with what will make mankind everlastingly happy. "No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). "This is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (John 17:3). If you reject Jesus" offer of eternal life, it would result for us to be forever become miserable in hell. "Whoever does not believe is condemned already....the wrath of God remains on him" (John 3:18, 36). The only way to be saved and have boundless life is to believe on Him. The greatest closure to the hardship and death of Christ is this: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). His death protected us from accusation for those who believe that Jesus has provided their death sentence. To think about, He died on our place, and that is why we are saved, including those I mentioned above. He died the death that we should be on it. "[Jesus] himself bore our sin in his body on the tree that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed" (1 Peter 2:24). His death wasn"t just a deed of love, therefore, it characterizes love. His death that we should deserve was an eventual example of what love means. By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world"s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God"s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:16). His death was efficient in its objective. And its intention was not just to purchase the possibility of salvation, but a people for His own custody. "All that the Father gives to me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out" And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day" (John 6:36, 39). Jesus died for the ungodly, for sinners, and for his enemies. "For one will scarcely die for a righteous person, though perhaps for a good person one would dare to die, but God shows his love for us in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:7"8). God"s love is distinct from common human love. (olrl.org, Crossway.org, DesiringGod.org)
