Why do Christians believe that God sent his son down to earth to save humanity from its sins?

While Christians universally think of God as omnipotent, they also have difficulty in believing that he could simply have forgiven the sins of everyone, or at least those who believed in him.
There is little scriptural support for the belief that God sent his Son down to save humanity from its sins. The gospels say that John the Baptist was baptising for the forgiveness of sins, and arguably this should have been enough. The gospels do not say directly that the crucifixion would result in the universal forgiveness of sins, or apparently even that more forgiveness would result from it than John was already doing. The gospels credit Jesus with forgiving sins in individual cases, and say that he told his apostles to do likewise.

since catholics believe that Jesus is the savior and they are early christians so um the truth is that there is no new heaven or earth. so this is the word that christians use as the end of the world called the rapture(meaning apocolypes) so people who believe in Jesus christ may rise up with him to go to heaven supernaturally,and people who don't believe in god must stay down on the ruined earth and be ruled by Satan for 1000yrs.

Christians believe that God died on the cross for their sins. This religion did not come from anywhere, because it is true. Christianity was always true, thus when the world first came, people believed in it. The Christian background is that God sent Jesus down to earth as a man, to take the penalty for our sins. That are what Christians believe. (It is right too)!

Will the dead walk the earth at the end of time?
Depends on whatyou believe. Most Christians like myself believe we will go to heaven and the non believers will go to hell. At the end of time, we believe the earth will be set on fire and God will create a new world for us to live in. Atheists (sorry if i spelt it wrong) believe there is no God and believe when we die, there is no afterlife-nothing happens. So it all comes down to what you believe or your religion if any.Personally, i dont believe that as I am a Christian.
