Christians believe that the death of Jesus paid for our sin.
We believe that Jesus helped us to find our way back to our faith, by being a substitute and standing in for God by making a bridge between us and him. It was easier that way for him to reconcile us and make us understand. Through atonement for our sins, he helped us regain the love and salvation of our Lord.
It was very important for Jesus to show us that he was the son of God, and not only fully human, but fully divine as well. He also needed to show us that he could take our burdens with him to the cross and die for our sin, before rising and releasing us from the grasp of our afflictions. It was also very necessary for him to do what he did, because someone who was perfect had to put things right, Jesus was not perfect…God was perfect, but through Jesus, God worked!
