THE REASONS FOR JESUS CHRIST BORN ON THIS EARTH
THE REASONS FOR JESUS CHRIST BORN ON THIS EARTH
1.WE HAVE TO LEAD BORN AGAIN LIFE
(1Peter 1:23) since you have been born again, not of
perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of
God.
John 3:3–7 – “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the
kingdom of God unless they are born again… You must be born again.”
John 1:12–13 – “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born
not of natural descent… but born of God.”
Being born again is the foundation of Christian faith. It’s
not about religion or rituals but about a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. This new life brings freedom from sin, hope for eternity, and daily
guidance by the Holy Spirit.
2.Assurance of eternal life through Jesus
3.Transformation by the Holy Spirit
4.Adoption into God’s family
5.Entry into God’s kingdom
2.WE HAVE TO BE BORN AS A BEGOTTEN DISCIPLE
(Matthew 24:14) And this gospel of the kingdom will be
preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end
will come.
The word begotten emphasizes uniqueness and divine origin.
In John 3:16, Jesus is called the only begotten Son of God, highlighting His
eternal relationship with the Father. For disciples, being begotten means
receiving new life through Christ, not by human effort but by God’s Spirit.
1.Identity: You are no longer defined by flesh but by
Spirit—God’s child through rebirth.
2.Relationship: Just as Jesus is begotten of the Father,
disciples share in His sonship by adoption.
3.Transformation: Being begotten means living a new life,
guided by the Spirit, not by worldly desires.
4.Mission: As begotten disciples, we are called to follow
Christ’s teachings and reflect His love.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Mission of Jesus Christ
Jesus’ mission was divinely ordained and centered on
salvation, reconciliation, and the proclamation of God’s kingdom.
To Save Humanity from Sin
Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the
lost.”
His mission was not political but spiritual—rescuing people from sin and eternal separation from God.
To Give Eternal Life
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one
and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life.”
To Reveal God’s Love and Truth
John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the father except through me.”
Jesus reveals God’s character and provides the only path to
reconciliation.
Galatians 4:4-5: “But when the fullness of time had come,
God sent forth His Son… to redeem those who were under the law, so that we
might receive adoption as sons.”
Ministry of Jesus Christ
His ministry was practical, compassionate, and
transformative, showing God’s kingdom in action.
Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying,
‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
Matthew 9:35: “Jesus went through all the towns and
villages, teaching… proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every
disease and sickness.”
Mark 10:45: “For even the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
His ministry extended beyond His earthly life, empowering His followers to continue His work.

3.WE HAVE TO REBORN IN HIS KINGDOM(HEAVEN)
Becoming sons and daughters of God (Heavenly citizenship)
(Philippians 3:20) But our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ
ALL HUMAN BEINGS ARE INVITED TO CHRISTMAS (John 3:16)
“Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have
everlasting life…” (Whosoever refers to all humanity)
Resurrection life is not just about Jesus rising from the
dead—it’s about the new life believers receive through Him. It is both present
(spiritual renewal now) and future (eternal life after death).
Present reality: Believers are spiritually raised with
Christ, empowered to live free from sin.
Future promise: Just as Christ was raised, we too will be
raised to eternal life.
John 11:25-26 – “I am the resurrection and the life. The one
who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
Romans 6:4 – “We were buried with him… so that we too may
live a new life.”
Philippians 3:10 – “I want to know Christ… and the power of
his resurrection.”
1 Corinthians 15:20-22 – “In Christ all will be made alive.”
1 Peter 1:3 – “He has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
Freedom from sin: We are no longer slaves to sin but alive
to righteousness (Romans 6:11).
Hope in suffering: Even in trials, resurrection life assures
us that death and despair don’t win.
Purposeful living: We live with eternal perspective, knowing
this life is not the end.
Empowered faith: The Spirit that raised Jesus empowers us to
overcome weakness (Romans 8:11).
Risks of Misunderstanding
Some may think resurrection life is only about heaven. In
reality, it’s also about transformation now.
Others may reduce it to symbolic meaning. Scripture insists
it is both spiritual and physical reality.
Resurrection life is the believer’s participation in
Christ’s victory—living now in His power and looking forward to eternal glory.
Citizenship in heaven
1.Our True Identity
Philippians 3:20 – “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we
eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
This verse highlights that Christians belong to heaven, not
earth. Our ultimate loyalty is to Christ, not earthly nations.
Ephesians 2:19 – “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners
and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his
household.”
Believers are part of God’s family, sharing in His kingdom.
2.Living as Heavenly Citizens
Colossians 3:1-2 – “Set your hearts on things above, where
Christ is… Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Citizenship in heaven means focusing on eternal values
rather than temporary worldly concerns.
Hebrews 13:14 – “For here we do not have an enduring city,
but we are looking for the city that is to come.”
Earthly life is temporary; heaven is our permanent home.
John 14:2-3 – Jesus promises, “In my Father’s house are many
rooms… I go to prepare a place for you.”
Citizenship in heaven assures believers of eternal life with
Christ.
Revelation 21:27 – Only those written in the Lamb’s book of
life will enter the heavenly city. This emphasizes purity and salvation through
Christ.
Identity: -Believers belong to heaven (Philippians 3:20)
Family: -We are members of God’s household (Ephesians 2:19)
Focus: -Set minds on eternal things (Colossians 3:1-2)
Hope: -Assurance of eternal home (John 14:2-3)
