Why did Jesus Die?
1. Because we are all sinners!
Marcos 2:17 I Jesus, are xu ta wach i quiqui bij, xu bij chique: —Quin ʼan iri, man are i je iwab craj jun ajcun
chique; i ʼutz qui wach n-tu chac ajcun chique. Yin in cʼun-nak chi qui siqʼuixic i je ajmaquib; n-in cʼun-nak ta chi
qui siqʼuixic i je ʼutz laj tak winak. (Queje xu bij i Jesus ile chique.)
Róma 3:10 Ketaʼam ile man queje iri tzʼibtal chupam u wuj i Dios: I winak, n-ta jun we n-ti u mac chuwach i
Dios, mi ta jun;
Matéo 18:11 Yin chi in Achi aj Chicaj in cʼun-nak chi qui toʼic niʼpa i je sachnak.
2. Because there is a cost for that sin!
Matéo 15:18-20 Xui-ri, wach i quel pu chiʼ, pu cʼux ʼuri petnak wi. Are ile are ca ʼanaw chique i winak chi ne te
chʼam. Man xa piqui cʼux ca pe wi ronojel tak n-ʼus taj. Are rumal ʼuri ca pe i qui nojbal chi n-ʼus taj; are rumal
ʼuri ʼo i camsanic, xak ʼo i je cʼulanic quiqui kajsaj qui ʼij cuʼ i n-cachijil ta quib; xak ʼo i ne te cʼulanic xak quiqui
kajsaj qui ʼij chiquiwach; are ile chi ca ʼanaw chique chi ne te chʼam, y piqui cʼux petnak wi. Xak queje iliʼomab,
xak queje i je aj ʼanol mentir, xak queje i je aj nucʼul tzij. Are i niʼpa ile are ca ʼanaw chique i winak chi ne te
chʼam. We jun n-cu chʼaj tu ʼab are cu tij u wa, ile ʼut n-are ti ca ʼanaw che chi n-chʼam tu pu cʼux. (Queje xu bij
i Jesus ile chique.)
Róma 6:23 I mac atzalal que u toj i u mocom; are i tojbal que u mocom cu ʼano, are i camic cu ya chique. I Dios
n-queje ta ile; i sipon chi cu ya i Dios chake are ka cʼaslemal chi n-tu qʼuisic junam ruʼ i Jesucrísto, chi Kajwal.
Marcos 16:16 Pachin ca cojow i tzij, xak xkajsax ni ya puwi, quel na ʼuri chupam u mac. Xui-ri, pachin i n-cu coj
ta i tzij, ca ʼe na ʼuri pa ʼaʼ.
There is a cost for sin!
3. Because Jesus died and paid for our sins on the cross!
Matéo 1:21 I acʼal-le chi calax na, are jun ala. Cha ya pu bi A-JESUS. Queje ni u bi ile, man que resaj u winak
chupam i qui mac. (Queje ile xu bij i ángel che.)
Róma 5:8 Xuiri, i Crísto xu ya rib chi camic, tobal ke yoj are oj ajmac teʼek. Queje ile, i Dios xu ʼalijinsaj u
cʼaxnabal u cʼux chake.
Juan 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.”
Matéo 18:11 Yin chi in Achi aj Chicaj in cʼun-nak chi qui toʼic niʼpa i je sachnak.
4. Salvation is a free gift, not by good works. You must take God’s
word for it, and trust Jesus alone!
Xqui 'an 4:12 Xui i Jesus coj ʼelsaw chupam i ka mac; n-ta chic jun chic chuwach i jyub taʼaj. Xui ire-le yatal
puʼab rumal i Dios chi coj u to —xu bij i ma Pédro chique.
Efeso 2:8-9 Xa rumal i rutzil u cʼux i Dios ix totajnak, xa rumal i cubam i cʼux che i Jesucrísto. N-rumal ta tak
wach i ʼanom xi rik iwelbal chi sak, ile lic siptal chiwe rumal i Dios. N-rumal ta jun ʼutz caka ʼano, chʼacbal-re i
kelbal chi sak, xa are jun sipon chake; queje ile, n-ta jun coʼon nim che rib rumal tak i ʼutz u ʼanom.
Tito 3:5 Ruʼ ile, xoj resaj chi sak. N-are ta rumal jun ʼutz xka ʼan chuwach, xa rumal xril toʼbal ka wach, rumal-i
xu ʼano. Are i kelbal chi sak chi xoʼon chake, are u chʼajic rij i kanima ʼelsabal re i ka mac. Ruʼ u chʼajic i kanimale, i u Tewal i Dios coʼon chake chi coj alax ucamul, xak cu ya jun ka cʼaslemal cʼacʼ.
5. We must put our faith and trust in Christ alone!
Marcos 9:23 —Yin quin tiqui che —xu bij i Jesus—, xui-ri we yet cat tiqui chu cubaxic a cʼux chwe. Ronojel ʼis
coj tiqui che we ʼo u cubibal ka cʼux —xu bij.
Marcos 1:15 Xu bij chique: —Ya xu rik i ʼij chi u chʼicom i Dios; ya ca jekan ʼuri i ʼutz laj ʼatbal tzij re ire. ¡Chi
jalwachij i nojbal chi n-ʼus taj! ¡Chi cuba i cʼux che i tzij re iwelbal chi sak! —xu bij chique.
Marcos 10:15 Katzij i quin bij chiwe: pachin jun, we n-cu ya ta che i Dios cu ʼat ni tzij puwi, pacha coʼon jun
acʼal, lic n-coc ta ʼuri pa cu ʼat wi tzij i Dios —xu bij i Jesus.
Róma 10:9-10,13 I Dios cat resaj chupam a mac we ca bij chiquiwach i winak chi are i Jesus are Awajwal, we
xak a cojom pa cʼux chi Dios u walijsam chic i Jesus chiquixol i camnak. Man ruʼ ka cʼux caka cojo chi Jesucrísto
are i Tolke; are ile ca ʼanaw chake oj ʼutz chuwach i Dios. Xak ruʼ ka chiʼ caka bij chi cul ka cʼux che i Jesucrísto;
queje ile caka rik i ʼelbal ke chi sak. Ketaʼam ile, man chupam u wuj i Dios cakil i tzij-i: “Niʼpa i quiqui tzʼonoj qui
tobal che i Kajwal, que totajic.” Queje ile cu bij.
Put your faith in Christ alone!
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here is
prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting
in Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness of sins. This prayer is simply a way to express to
God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your forgiveness.
"Lord,
I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin which is death
and hell. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death
and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my
personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"
