I believe that is the most important question of the twenty-first century. Here are ten answers from the Bible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### Jesus came to die…\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #10) To destroy hostility between races\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The suspicion, prejudice, and demeaning attitudes between Jews and non-Jews in Bible times were as serious as the racial, ethnic, and national hostilities today. Jesus died to create a whole new way for races to be reconciled: he \"has broken down…the dividing wall of hostility…making peace…through the cross\" (Ephesians 2:14-16).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is impossible to build lasting unity among races by saying that all religions can come together as equally valid. God sent his Son into the world as the only means of saving sinners and reconciling races. Only as the races find this reconciliation will they love and enjoy each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #9) To give marriage its deepest meaning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e God's design was never for marriages to be miserable, yet many are. That's what sin does…it makes us treat each other badly. Jesus died to change that. He knew that his suffering would make the deepest meaning of marriage plain. That's why the Bible says, \"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her\" (Ephesians 5:25).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e God's design for marriage is for a husband to love his wife the way Christ loves his people, and for the wife to respond the way Christ's people should. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #8) To absorb the wrath of God\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e God's law demanded, \"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might\" (Deuteronomy 6:5). But we have all loved other things more. This is what sin is-dishonoring God by preferring other things over him, and acting on those preferences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The seriousness of an insult rises with the dignity of the one insulted. Since our sin is against the Ruler of the Universe, \"the wages of [our] sin is death\" (Romans 6:23). Not to punish it would be unjust. So God sent his own Son, Jesus, to divert sin's punishment from us to himself. God \"loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation\"-the wrath-absorbing substitute-\"for our sins\" (1 John 4:10).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Then God publicly endorsed Christ's accomplishment by raising him from the dead, proving the success of his suffering and death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #7) So that we would escape the curse of the law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There was no escape from the curse of God's law. It was just; we were guilty. There was only one way to be free: someone must pay the penalty. \"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us\" (Galatians 3:13).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The law's demands have been fulfilled by Christ's perfect law-keeping, its penalty fully paid by his death. This is why the Bible teaches that getting right with God is not based on law-keeping: \"A person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ\" (Galatians 2:16). Our only hope is having the blood and righteousness of Christ credited to our account.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #6) To reconcile us to God\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reconciliation that needs to happen between man and God goes both ways. God's first act in reconciling us to himself was to remove the obstacle that separated him from us-the guilt of our sin. He took the steps we could not take to remove his own judgment by sending Jesus to suffer in our place: \"While we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son\" (Romans 5:10). Reconciliation from our side is simply to receive what God has already done, the way we receive an infinitely valuable gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #5) To show God's love for sinners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The measure of God's love is shown by the degree of his sacrifice in saving us from the penalty of our sins: \"he gave his only Son\" (John 3:16). When we add the horrific crucifixion that Christ endured, it becomes clear that the sacrifice the Father and the Son made to save us was indescribably great!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The measure of his love increases still more when we consider the degree of our unworthiness. \"God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us\" (Romans 5:8). Our debt is so great, only a divine sacrifice could pay it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #4) To show Jesus' own love for us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The death of Christ is also the supreme expression that he \"loved me and gave himself for me\" (Galatians 2:20). It is my sin that cuts me off from God. All I can do is plead for mercy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I see Christ suffering and dying \"to give his life as a ransom for many\" (Matthew 20:28). And I ask, am I among the \"many\"? And I hear the answer, \"Whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life\" (John 3:16). Jesus paid the highest price possible to give me-personally-the greatest gift possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #3) To take away our condemnation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The great conclusion to the suffering and death of Christ is this: \"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus\" (Romans 8:1). To be \"in Christ\" means to be in relationship to him by faith. Christ becomes our punishment (which we don't have to bear) and our worth before God (which we cannot earn).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The death of Christ secures freedom from condemnation for those who believe that Christ has served their death sentence. It is as sure that they cannot be condemned as it is sure that Christ died!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #2) To bring us to God\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Gospel\" means \"good news,\" and it all ends in one thing: God himself. The gospel is the good news that at the cost of his Son's life, God has done everything necessary to captivate us with what will make us eternally and ever-increasingly happy-namely, himself. \"Christ…suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God\" (1 Peter 3:18).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ### #1) To give eternal life to all who believe on Him\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jesus made it plain that rejecting the eternal life he offered would result in the misery of eternity in hell: \"Whoever does not believe is condemned already....the wrath of God remains on him\" (John 3:18, 36).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But for those who trust Christ, the best is yet to come. \"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). We will see the all-satisfying glory of God. \"This is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent\" (John 17:3).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For all these reasons and more, Christ suffered and died. Why would you not embrace him as your Savior from sin and judgment, and live with God eternally?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you are moved to embrace God's Son in this way, tell God in words like these:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;  Dear God, I'm convinced that Jesus suffered and died for my sins. I gratefully trust in him now as my Lord and my precious Treasure and the only way I'll ever receive your forgiveness and your promise of eternal life.

Now available in paperback with a freshly redesigned cover, Piper’s book on marriage holds even greater appeal.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567867298079,"sku":"9781433531118","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781433531118_601286.jpg?v=1769293243"},{"product_id":"love-your-enemies-jesus-love-command-in-the-synoptic-gospels-and-the-early-christian-paraenesis-354091","title":"Love Your Enemies: Jesus' Love Command in the Synoptic Gospels and the Early Christian Paraenesis","description":"From 1971-1974 John Piper attended the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat in Munich for doctoral work. In choosing a dissertation topic he decided to explore Jesus's command in the Synoptic Gospels to love one's enemies, and its relationship to similar ethical exhortations in the epistles (the Early Christian Paraenesis). Using a \"history of traditions\" approach, Piper begins by examining each New Testament reference to Jesus's command in an attempt to place its origin within the broader paraenetic tradition. Piper moves on to survey similar exhortations for enemy love in the environment of the early church, then analyzes this particular command of Jesus within the broader context of his whole message. He investigates the theological significance of Jesus's love command in the paraenesis and finally concludes by focusing on the Gospel tradition's use of the command, particularly in Matthew and Luke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First published by Cambridge University Press in the Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, this repackaged edition features a new, extensive introduction.

Here, Piper shows that preaching is not just an explanation of the text, but an act of worship. He presents clear examples and methods for making this paramount in church contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell-known around the world for his passionate and powerful preaching, John Piper has distilled over thirty years of preaching experience into one book for the benefit of pastors and other Bible teachers. Building on the foundation laid by his previous two books, *A Peculiar Glory* and *Reading the Bible Supernaturally*, Piper makes a compelling claim about the purpose of a sermon: not just an explanation of the text, but awakening worship by being worship. Christian preaching is a God-appointed means of transforming its hearers in both head and heart, not only in intellect but also in affections. With clear examples of specific methods, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from the pulpit in a way that takes seriously the task of handling the Word of God week in and week out in the context of, and as, Christian worship.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567970779423,"sku":"9781433561139","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781433561139_1373195.jpg?v=1769294959"},{"product_id":"why-i-love-the-apostle-paul-30-reasons-523263","title":"Why I Love the Apostle Paul: 30 Reasons","description":"Influential author and pastor John Piper draws on his six decades of \"getting to know\" the apostle Paul through his letters in the New Testament, and offers a stirring collection of 30 short reflections.

One of his most notable works is *The Expulsive Power of a New Affection*, in which Chalmers inspires his readers to remove the tangles of sin through the expulsive power of a new affection-desiring God.
