Commentaries:
All mankind has sinned (Romans 3:23), and "the wages of sin is [eternal] death" (Romans 6:23). The Logos became a mortal man so He could die to pay the death penalty for the sins of all mankind. Christ was able to do this because His human life was far more valuable than the lives of all human beings put together—He was God incarnate—GOD made flesh (John 1:14).
What It Means to Be Born Again
When Jesus Christ lived a perfect life and died for the sins of men, He qualified to dethrone Satan. The "god of this world" has been defeated! However, he remains active among us until the King of kings returns and sets up His government on earth.
