"For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous." Rom 5:19
This one scripture so encompasses the spiritual evolution of man. Though created by Divinity, humans were not themselves Divine. From the beginning there was a lack of righteousness displayed through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. This sin, once introduced, traveled throughout the human genealogy to every person that has ever lived. This places each of us in the same need of restoration. It was all started by one man.
Praise be to God for the "other" man. This man was born without sin. He is truly Divine. He came to seek and save all who are lost. He came to be an example of obedience and righteousness. Ultimately, he came to die. It was only through this ultimate sacrifice that we who are in need of restoration have the ability to obtain it.
Beloved, this is the greatest love story of all time. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. The son so loved the world that he gave his life. This allows us to evolve from sinful man to spiritual man. Let us not remain in the condition from which we have been offered salvation.
Loving Like Jesus,
Lee
