Metaphorically, God presented Jesus as a sacrifice for our forgiveness. Sin has consequences, and Jesus volunteered to suffer the consequences on our behalf. The cross demonstrates Godâs love as well as his justice (Romans 5:8). As Isaiah says, we have peace with God because of what Christ did.esus said, âThe Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for manyâ (Matthew 20:28). He came to give his life, to die, and his death would result in salvation for others. This was the reason he came to earth. His blood was poured out for others (Matthew 26:28).
Again, the Bible does not record how Paul died, so there is no way to be certain regarding the circumstances of his death. But, from all indications, he died for his faith. We know he was ready to die for Christ (Acts 21:13), and Jesus had predicted that Paul would suffer much for the name of Christ (Acts 9:16).gain, the Bible does not record how Paul died, so there is no way to be certain regarding the circumstances of his death.
