Sin & Salvation- Part 3

Abstract: Adam’s blood passed the sinful nature to all his descendants. The blood of God Incarnate- Christ Jesus passed the saintly nature to our world, conditionally (John 3:15).

***********************************************************************

Since Adam & Eve fell into sin, they became sinners! From formerly being saints in their original-natural-innate-intrinsic-inherent-integral-built in perfection (as part of the very good creation by Christ Jesus), they turned out to be sinners because of disobedience.

We are all sinners, by virtue of the fact that we all came from Adam & Eve. All Adam-derived mankind or humankind are appropriately-fittingly-properly-suitably called sinners, without any exception. If you have come from the lineage or bloodline of Adam, then you are a sinner too!

No one can brag before the presence of the Lord (Adon-Adonay-Kurios) Jesus Christ that he or she is good enough, he or she doesn’t need a Savior. All sinners need a Savior. Otherwise, they will all be damned and suffer torment-torture-punishment in Hell & eventually- in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, in due time (Psalm 9:17; Matthew 10:28; 23:33; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 16:23-24; Revelation 20:14-15; 21:8).

The passages or verses above describes Hell as a place burning with unquenchable-inextinguishable-unstoppable fire, where the worms don’t die. That’s a very inconvenient place to be thrown into.

The Lake of Fire & Brimstone (on the other hand), is also a place of torture and punishment, where the flames are more painful and excruciating-severe-unbearable, & where death and Hell (together with its occupants) will subsequently be thrown into.

Try to imagine being burned alive unto death, inside a closed confined place. How painful would that death be? Now try to picture the scenery-scenario-spectacle-sight where you are being burned alive in a place, forever or for all eternity. How excruciating would that experience be? That’s the panorama or scene in Hell right now, for all people who have died in sin. Oh, how terrible-horrendous-horrible-dreadful-frightening-awful: living spirits plus souls of dead people, being burned continually-perpetually-permanently-endlessly! And oh, how itchy and uncomfortable would those deathless worms be, crawling-creeping-writhing on the souls & spirits of those same people who have died in sin (including those who are still alive today, but will be dying in sin as well)!!! Furthermore, their dead bodies will be resurrected on judgment day (John 5:28-29), to be incorporated upon their souls and spirits (Revelation 20:11-13), for casting away into the Lake which burns with Fire & Brimstone (being the 2nd death).

The fact had been established. We have all sinned! As it is written, there is none upright or holy, no not one (Romans 3:10). For all have sinned and have fallen short of God’s expectations (Romans 3:23). Even from our conception (implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus) in our mothers’ wombs, we are already sinners (Psalm 51:5). And no matter how good we have been (apart from Salvation or separate from the Savior), God looks on us as mere unclean things. Yes (away from Salvation or without receiving the Savior), all our holiness-uprightness-sanctity-sacredness-righteousness are as dirty rags before the sight of God, since there is absolutely no mankind or humankind derived from Adam & Eve which has not been carried away or influenced by his or her own sins (Isaiah 64:6).

The “Good” LORD (Yahweh or Jehovah) Jesus Christ have created all nations of men, all people of the world, all citizens of the planet earth from one (single-singular) blood, which is that of Adam (Acts 17:26). Since Adam became a sinner, and since we are all Adam-derived, we are all part of the sinful mankind-humankind-human race.

We all came from a sinful blood lineage- the bloodline of our ancestor Adam! The blood that flows in the vessels or vascularities of each and every one of us is a sinful blood!!!

But God or the Godkind be thanked and magnified-exalted-extolled-lifted high-honored-glorified: the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit (1 John 5:7-8), for back there in eternity, before Jesus created the world-cosmos-universe (Isaiah 44:24; Hebrews 1:10; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 4:11; Ecclesiastes 12:1; Nehemiah 9:6; Isaiah 54:5), the 3 of Them or the Trinity were already having their eternal arrangement-deal-covenant (Hebrews 13:20).

Part of the Trinity’s covenant is, for human sin(s) or the world’s sin(s) against God to be forgiven-pardoned-covered-expiated-atoned-propitiated-pacified-appeased, blood must be shed or dropped, and without blood-shedding, there will be no remission or forgiveness of sin(s) (Hebrews 9:22).

But God or the Godkind is Spirit! No flesh, no bones and no blood. How then can any Person-Individual-Member-Self of the Trinity or the Godkind shed blood?

Oh, how “Good” Jesus is! Though He is God or Godkind (Philippians 2:5-6; John 1:1; 5:18; 10:30-33; 20:28; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8), He volunteered Himself to take Anthropomorphism-Human Form-Flesh-Physical Constitution or Body-Manhood-Humanity (Philippians 2:7-8; John 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 John 4:1-3; 2 John 1:7; Isaiah 53:3-5; Luke 24:39; Colossians 2:8-9), so that by dying on the cross (1 Peter 2:24; Hebrews 12:2), through the shedding of the blood of His Manhood, all who will continually believe in or on Him may no longer be damned-cursed-doomed, perish or suffer (Acts 16:30-31), but have Jesus (1 John 5:20) for their Eternal or Everlasting Life (John 3:15, 16).

Since Jesus is the Eternal Life (John 3:36) that we must hold on to (1 Timothy 6:12), if we really believe on-upon-into His name, then we will receive Him (in our hearts, lives & entire beings), for us to be His children (John 1:12; 1 John 3:2), and will be domiciling-residing-homing-staying-abiding in Him (John 15:4-7).

Even from the building up-foundation-establishment-construction-conception-making-creation of the world/cosmos/universe (when mankind or the humankind have not sinned yet against God), Jesus- having foreseen already that Adam & Eve would fall into sin (Acts 15:18), have already committed Himself to be the symbolic-emblematic-representational Lamb of God, slain-slaughtered-butchered-murdered-killed (Revelation 13:8), in order to take away the sins of the world (John 1:36, 29).

Jesus is the God who calls those things which be not as though they were (Romans 4:17), because what He had mentioned-uttered-said-promised, He is able to carry out-execute-perform-accomplish-fulfill-bring to reality (Romans 4:21). Thus, when He referred to His Manhood as slain from the foundation of the world, He is in substance-effect-essence saying, it is as good as done!

For Jesus declares the end or fulfillment, even from the very beginning, and from olden days the things that are not yet done, saying that His counsel or advice shall surely stand or prevail and He will do all His pleasures or desires (Isaiah 46:10).

Adam & Eve brought death into the world by sin, bringing about sinful consanguinity or blood relationship to all the succeeding generations of the humankind. God Incarnate- Christ Jesus entered our world, shedding precious, holy, sinless blood, for the remission or forgiveness of the world’s sins against God (once and for all), conditionally (John 3:15).
