This question is of vital importance because your eternal destiny depends upon your answer to it. Do you know why Jesus died? If not, I believe God has sent me across your path to tell you.
Sin Brings Death
In God’s Word, the Bible, we learn that death came into the world because of sin. “Wherefore … by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). You and I die because we are sinners; we have forfeited our right to live on the earth. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Jesus Died For Us
Did Jesus die because He had sinned? No. Listen to the inspired Word: “In Him is no sin” (1 John 3:5); “Who did no sin” (1 Peter 2:22); “Who knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Therefore, death had no claim upon Him. But, blessed be His Name, He “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:4). It was love to you and me that caused the Lord Jesus Christ to come down from heaven and die on Calvary’s cross. It was love to us that held Him on that shameful cross until He had finished the work of atonement to the glory of God.
A holy, righteous, just God cannot let sin go unpunished. On the cross the Lord Jesus bore God’s judgment against sin in our stead, as our substitute; and now God is offering not only forgiveness, but also justification to the repentant sinner who believes in Jesus. He is “just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:26). God showed His approval of that mighty work by raising the Lord Jesus from among the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in heaven (Mark 16:19).
Jesus Is The Way
There is no other way a sinner can be saved but through the atoning death of the Lord Jesus, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Why did Jesus die? Have you ever realized that it was your sins that caused Him to die upon the cross, or ever felt your need of Him as your personal Saviour? As you read this little message, He looks down from heaven upon you, and He reads the thoughts and intents of your heart. He knows your attitude toward your sins, as well as your attitude toward the One who wants to be your Saviour.
Turn To Him Today
Even if you are a stranger to me, God knows all about you. I urge you not to lay aside this paper until you have settled this great question and have received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Once you see the seriousness of your sinful condition before God, you will never get rest of conscience and heart until you have trusted the Saviour of sinners. He made “peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20). We are “reconciled to God by the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10).
If you do not trust Him now as your Saviour, you will meet Him in eternity as your Judge. For God “hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead” (Acts 17:31).
Won’t you flee to Him now for refuge while it is the day of salvation? “We pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

You and I die because we are sinners; we have forfeited our right to live on the earth. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Es una pregunta de gran importancia porque tu destino eterno depende de tu respuesta. ¿Sabes por qué murió Jesucristo? Si no, creo que Dios ha hecho cruzar nuestras sendas para que pueda decirte la respuesta.
El Pecado Trae Muerte
En la Biblia, la Palabra de Dios, aprendemos que la muerte entró en el mundo por el pecado. “Por tanto, como el pecado entró en el mundo por un hombre, y por el pecado la muerte, así la muerte pasó a todos los hombres, por cuanto todos pecaron” (Romanos 5:12). “La paga del pecado es muerte” (Romanos 6:23). Tú y yo morimos porque somos pecadores; hemos perdido el derecho a vivir en la tierra. “Por cuanto todos pecaron y están destituidos de la gloria de Dios” (Romanos 3:23).
Jesucristo Murió Por Nosotros
¿Murió Cristo porque había pecado? No. Escucha la Palabra inspirada: “No hay pecado en él” (1 Juan 3:5); “el cual no hizo pecado” (1 Pedro 2:22); “Al que no conoció pecado” (2 Corintios 5:21). Por lo tanto, la muerte no tenía poder sobre Él. Pero, bendito sea Su Nombre, Él “se dio a sí mismo por nuestros pecados” (Gálatas 1:4). Fue por amor a ti y a mi que el Señor Jesucristo descendió del cielo y murió en la cruz del Calvario. Fue Su amor hacia nosotros que le mantuvo en aquella vergonzosa cruz hasta terminar la obra de expiación para la gloria de Dios.
El Dios santo y justo no puede dejar sin castigo al pecado. En la cruz el Señor Jesús soportó el juicio de Dios contra nuestro pecado, en nuestro lugar, como nuestro sustituto; y ahora Dios le ofrece al pecador arrepentido que confía en Jesucristo no sólo perdón sino también justificación. Es “el justo, y el que justifica al que es de la fe de Jesús” (Romanos 3:26). Dios manifestó Su aprobación de aquella gran obra cuando resucitó de entre los muertos al Señor Jesucristo y le hizo sentar a Su diestra en el cielo (Marcos 16:19).
Jesucristo Es El Camino
El único camino por el cual el pecador puede ser salvo es por la muerte expiatoria del Señor Jesús. “Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida; nadie viene al Padre sino por mí” (Juan 14:6). “Y en ningún otro hay salvación; porque no hay otro nombre bajo el cielo, dado a los hombres, en que podamos ser salvos” (Hechos 4:12).
¿Por qué murió Jesucristo? ¿Te has dado cuenta que fueron tus pecados que le hicieron morir en la cruz, o has sentido tu necesidad de Él como tu Señor y Salvador personal? Mientras lees este breve mensaje, Él te mira desde el cielo, y lee los pensamientos y las intenciones de tu corazón. Conoce tu actitud hacia tus pecados, y también tu actitud hacia Aquel que quiere ser tu Salvador.
Vuélvete Hoy A Él
Aunque me seas desconocido a mí, Dios te conoce perfectamente. Te ruego que no deseches este tratado sin resolver esta gran cuestión arrepintiéndote y recibiendo al Señor Jesucristo como tu Salvador personal. Una vez que veas cuán seria es tu condición pecaminosa ante Dios, no tendrás reposo de conciencia y corazón hasta que hayas confiado en el Salvador de los pecadores. Él hizo “la paz mediante la sangre de su cruz” (Colosenses 1:20). Somos “reconciliados con Dios por la muerte de su Hijo” (Romanos 5:10).
Si no confías ahora en Él como tu Salvador, le encontrarás en la eternidad como tu Juez. Esto es porque Dios “ha establecido un día en el cual juzgará al mundo con justicia, por aquel varón a quien designó, dando fe a todos con haberle levantado de los muertos” (Hechos 17:31).
¿No quieres acudir ahora a Él para refugio mientras sea día de salvación? “Os rogamos en nombre de Cristo, reconciliaos con Dios” (2 Corintios 5:20).
