For Whom Did Christ Die?

For Whom Did Christ Die? He died:

1. For all (1 Timothy 2:6; Isaiah 53:6)

1 Timothy 2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Isaiah 53:6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

2. For every man (Hebrews 2:9; 1 Timothy 4:10)

Hebrews 2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

1 Timothy 4:10  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

3. For the world (John 3:16; 4:42; 2 Corinthians 5:19; 1 John 4:14)

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 4:42  And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

2 Corinthians 5:19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

1 John 4:14  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

4. For the sins of the world (1 John 2:2)

1 John 2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

5. For the ungodly (Romans 5:6)

Romans 5:6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

6. For false teachers (2 Peter 2:1)

2 Peter 2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

7. For many (Matthew 20:28)

Matthew 20:28  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

8. For Israel (John 11:50-51)

John 11:50-51  Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

9. For the church (Ephesians 5:25)

Ephesians 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

10. For me (Galatians 2:20)

Galatians 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
