Why did Jesus have to die? Was it simply to pay a penalty? To satisfy divine justice? Or is there a deeper, more transformative reason behind the cross? In this thought provoking episode of Designed 4 More, we take a deep dive into one of Christianity’s most essential—and often misunderstood—questions: the necessity and meaning of Christ’s sacrifice.
Too often, the conversation ends at surface-level theology or a transactional view of salvation. But this week, we go further. We explore the character of God, the problem of sin, and the cosmic implications of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We unpack what Scripture really says about atonement, examine what early Christians believed, and challenge long-held assumptions.
You’ll hear biblically grounded insights, psychological frameworks for understanding guilt and healing, and a new perspective on why Jesus’ sacrifice was about restoration—not appeasement.Whether you’ve wrestled with fear-based views of God, or simply want to understand how love, law, freedom, and justice meet at the cross—this episode is for you.
