Why Did Jesus Have to Die?

The current study includes Part I and Part II of An Introduction to Romans and spells out two of the results of Christ's time-altering (B.C. to A.D.) sacrifice on the cross. These two results are under the headings of The Race - A Redeemed People and The Regeneration - A Redeemed Earth. To be forthcoming will be Part III - The Restoration - A Redeemed Nation under the title of The Coming Kingdom. This study will concern the restoration of the nation of Israel in connection with the promised reign of her Messiah on the millennial earth. "For God is not a man that He should lie, neither human that He should change his mind. When He gives His word, does He not perform it? Or does He promise and not fulfill it" (Numbers 23:19, Berkeley)? William Knop holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Theology degrees (University of Wisconsin and Dallas Theological Seminary).
