Christ’s mission on earth, given to Him by His Father, was to save us from the horrors of Hell, and to bring us to the joys of eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. He did this through His suffering and dying on the Cross.

We can also say that the Son of God became man to save us from Satan, sin, and death. In the Nicene Creed we say: “For us men and for our salvation He came down from Heaven… For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried.”
