Why did Messiah come?


For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:8b,9 KJV

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4:9,10 NIV

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Romans 5:8-10 NASB

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord

Everyone in this world
should worship
and honor the LORD!

As soon as he spoke
the world was created;
at his command,
the earth was formed.

The LORD destroys the plans
and spoils the schemes
of the nations.

But what the LORD has planned
will stand forever.
His thoughts never change.

The LORD blesses each nation
that worships only him.
He blesses his chosen ones.

Psalm 33:8-12 CEV
