 "But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil."

1 John 3:8 NLT

  "  Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

" Hebrews 2:14‭-‬15 NLT

   The aforementioned scriptures says Jesus came to destroy the works  of Satan . Sin gives Satan the advantage to oppress humanity . Sin derives its strength from the laws of Moses. For were there is no law , there is no sin. 

   Before Jesus came humanity was under the curse of the law and there was nobody qualified to intercede on our behalf  : after Adam sinned ,humans came into the world with a polluted sinful soul. We do not learn to exaggerate , we are born liars (Romans3:4) and the scriptures says " For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me." Psalms 51:5 NLT

   We are born sinners therefore, no priest was qualified to make ablution and atonement for sins. God had to create a priest that was without sin hence the virgin birth of Jesus Christ devoid of the corrupted male sperm. This was in fulfillment of scriptures in   "And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 NLT

 Jesus' death paid the price for our sins and gave us the gift of salvation (Rom5:6-11, 1Tim1;15) 

  Jesus showed us the love of God by dying for us ( John15:13; John10:11) God is love and Jesus came to show  us a picture of how God looks like (Col1:13,15; Heb 1:3, 2 Cor. 4:4b) Therefore, with Jesus we can understand God , the scriptures says " If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?"John 14:7‭-‬9 NLT

 God demonstrated his love to us by  sending Jesus Christ to humanity . "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." Romans 5:8 NLT

  Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and received the Holy Ghost and power to preach the gospel with signs and wonders following in Jesus name.
