Did Jesus Christ die so that He could control us?
Did Jesus Christ die so that He could control us? Currently on social media, there is a new trend saying that “Jesus Christ died when we didn’t ask him to, and he’s now blackmailing us.”
Most people in the world today are saying that Jesus Christ died because he wanted to control us. Our Lord Jesus Christ came on earth because he loves us and wants the best for us.
He didn’t die to control us; he wants to guide us through life and also protect us. Mankind lost their relationship with God when Adam and Eve sinned against God.
God did everything in his power to bring mankind to him by bringing kings and prophets, but it wasn’t perfect.
Our heavenly father knew that the enemy was destroying his children (us), so he sent his son. Jesus Christ came because he loved us before we even loved him, and he was willing to die for us.
His death was not to blackmail or control us, but to bring us back to God. The thoughts he has for us are good and not evil, so that our future will be beautiful.
The blood of Jesus Christ was used to bring us back to our creator. The sin of Adam and Eve that separated them from God was washed away in his blood.
We are adopted into the family of God.Â
It is the moment we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal savior that gets us adopted. God is our heavenly father, and he’s the one who created us, but the sinful nature of man took us away from him.
Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we were given salvation and brought back to God. We are now going back to our father’s family, so whatever we ask in the name of Jesus Christ will be given to us.
Whatever we ask in the name of Jesus Christ will be given to us because we are now children of God.
Ephesians 1:4-5
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.
The plan of the enemy is to make us feel and think that our sins can’t be forgiven. It doesn’t matter what our past looks like or what we have done; let him come back.
Jesus Christ told us the parable of the prodigal son because he wants to understand how big his love is for us.
Just come back home and surrender your life to our Lord Jesus Christ, and he’ll protect you.
Repentance is a great gift.Â
The death of Jesus Christ brought so many gifts for us as children of God, like salvation, repentance, mercy, grace, and so on.
Before, our sins were held against us, and it was hard to ask for forgiveness. There are processes required in order for us to ask forgiveness, but today is free.
Just use your words, your heart, and your mind to acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness. Everything that we do now is possible because of the grace of God in our lives.
The Lord created us because he wanted people to love, and he also died because of love. God values love, and how he loves us is beyond our knowledge.
The Lord is willing to give men up for our sake, and he told us to call upon him no matter our challenges.
Note: Remember, Jesus Christ died because he loved us and didn’t want us to perish in hell. He wants the best for us here on earth, too, if only we obey him.Â
Our obedience to God’s commandment is for our own betterment and protection. He didn’t create us because he wants people to have control, but he wants people to love.
