He willingly gave his perfect life as a gift to us; he showed his love for us by dying "for our sins" (1 Cor. 15:3), knowing that through his death he would gain us eventual salvation from sin and death (Eph. 5:2,25; Rev. 1:5; Gal. 2:20).
Kwa hiari yake aliutoa uhai wake kamili kuwa kipawa kwetu; alionyesha upendo wake kwetu na kufa "kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu" (1 Kor 15:3) akijua ya kwamba kwa njia ya mauti atatupatia wokovu toka dhambi na mauti (Efe. 5:2, 25; Ufunuo 1:5; Gal 2:20).
