Jesus Thinks You Are to “Die For”

Posted June 30, 2025 | End Times Watch | River Wilde

In a world where people often measure their worth by likes, money, beauty, or power—Jesus speaks a radically different message. It’s this: “You are to die for.” Not in a flirty, worldly way. But in a sacrificial, divine, and eternal way.

The Ultimate Declaration of Love

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
—Romans 5:8 (KJV)

This isn’t sentimental poetry. It’s an incredible display of truth.

Jesus didn’t wait until you had it all figured out. He didn’t demand perfection. While you were broken, guilty, lost—He gave His life. You were worth dying for even in your worst state. Have you considered this? That’s real love.

He Took Your Place

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
—John 15:13 (KJV)

Jesus didn’t just die as a martyr. He died as your substitute. He took on your punishment—your shame, your pain, your sin. It wasn’t nails that held Him to the cross. It was love. Love for you.

The world may tell you you’re not enough. Too flawed. Too far gone. But the cross says, “You’re priceless.”

You Were Chosen

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world…”
—Ephesians 1:4 (KJV)

Before you ever breathed, before the stars were formed, Jesus had already chosen to redeem you. He saw every failure you’d ever commit—and still said, “I’ll take their place.”

You may doubt your worth. Jesus never did.

The Cross Was Personal

Many imagine Jesus dying for a crowd or for “the world.” But He died for individuals. He died for you. By name. By soul. With tears in His eyes and love in His heart.

“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.”
—John 10:11 (KJV)

The good shepherd knows His sheep. He knows your voice. Your struggle. Your heart. And He chose to give His life so you could live forever.

You’re Not Too Far Gone

Maybe you’ve messed up. Maybe you think God could never forgive you. But hear this:

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
—Romans 10:13 (KJV)

Whosoever. That means you. No matter your past. No matter your shame. Jesus thinks you are worth dying for. And He’s offering you eternal life—freely.

Live Like You’re Loved

When you understand the depth of His love, everything changes. You no longer live for the world’s applause—you live for the One who died in your place. You walk in purpose. You walk in grace. You walk in peace.

Because Jesus didn’t just die for you. He rose for you. And He’s coming back again.

The next time you feel small, rejected, unworthy, or unloved, remember the cross. Remember the Savior with nail-pierced hands whispering through time:

“You are to die for.”

And He proved it.
