Someone from Father’s Heart Ministries told me today that, “Jesus didn’t die because He loved you, He died because the Father loves you.”

I disagree with the person saying this to me and quoted these back:

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20 NIV

It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

John 13:1 NIV

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:37‭-‬39 NIV

    Yes I disagree. I think its badly phrased although I understood why he probably said that.

  2. Andre van der Sandt says:

    Jesus died because evil men murdered Him.

    But He conquered that evil by conquering death, and in that way He defeated ALL of the works of ha’shaitan, parading him as a vanquished foe before all of the heavenly hosts.

    I don’t think there’s any question Jesus died because he loved us.. but there is some Merit to the fact that at one point in the garden at Gethsemane he did Petition to the father to” if it be possible, take this cup from me, but nevertheless, not my will but thy be done” that has to mean something

  7. George Umole says:

    This’s same thing all of you’re saying,Jesus died because God loves us humans or that He died because Jesus Himself loves us is talking about the same truth in that Jesus and the Father are one and the same essence

  16. Glenn Scott says:

    I think it is true to say that Jesus put his fathers will first. So primarily that is why he died for us. However, he all so said greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for his freinds. Jesus loves as the father loves us. He said if you have seen me you have seen the father.
